I like all these kids judging Nony as if they know better. I certainly don't know him well enough to say I can guess the exact reasons, but I have a few ideas. Let's review some facts:

1. Nony has a fiancee, whom he presumably loves and cares for. It may occur to some of you, if you had ever actually been in a serious relationship, that he missed her - that it's not just "some spoiled demanding girl". One of many factors in his decision, obviously.

2. Nony went to a good college, and is pretty intelligent. Unlike you trolling dicks, he actually has a successful future ahead of him in the "real" world, being educated, intelligent, and well adjusted socially. This could be a factor in coming home imo.

3. Nony is disciplined. Anyone who can tolerate the progamer training regiment for any amount of time is disciplined. But culture shock is what it is, whether you think you're prepared for it or not. Having a successful happy life at home does not make this any easier to deal with.

4. Nony did not go to Korea for you. He doesn't owe you anything personally. Support him like you supported him when he went to Korea.


And people wonder why I complain about this forum's population...

It's not this simple. You don't know what kind of girl she is. Also, seeing as we don't have the full story (I couldn't even pull much out of him) there are probably other factors involved. Possibly strict parents that are brought up in such a way that it's unacceptable in their eyes that he's "abandonded" is gf temprorarily. There could be other factors involved. The GF/family could be broke and needs Nony to work a job to help support the family.

Do you idiots think Nony is stupid? I highly doubt he's leaving progaming simply because his girlfriend is crying "TYLER I MISS YOU I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE U NEED TO COME BACK!" Progaming was his dream. Theres obviously a good reason.

So, everyone, please shut the fuck up.

You're from Canada and your English is this bad? Do you expect anyone to take you seriously? Canada primary schools for the lose.

Lol Idra. Ok I have an opinion that is not going to be recieved well by others once again so here it goes but I think it needs to be said. First let me say Nony I was blown away by your second at courage and really really thought that you were going to go places and it is sad to see such a promising career cut short. I now will get to the bad part. I am kidna disappointed/ annoyed that ANOTHER foriegner has left after doing nothing in in televised matches or by staying there for an extended time period.

I don't know why people in Korea continue to waste their money and time sending over foriegner prospects if we keep wasting time and money by leaving before any training and fully take place and be cemented in our thoughts. Don't get me wrong, I am sure Nony has a good reason for leaving but I really just am annoyed that people can flip flop on their "dream" so quickly. It bothers me alot because this bodes horribly for all foriegners and I cannot see another foriegner ever getting accepted to a pro team to play starcraft unless they reside in China. I feel that players say ok yeah I am going to have to train hard and it will suck but I can do it, but no one ever can tough it out over there. You have to fully grasp you wont see friends or family for month or maybe years.... your personal life will basically be limited to nothing outside of Korea. I am in no way saying that these are small sacrafices but I am just saying one needs to be aware of these before signing up for such a serious task. It just really bothers me because us "foriegners" are seen as a group and when a few represent us and all do the same actions, it reflects poorly upon us all. I know that it is only one person going over there, you, but what people who go to live in Korea need to realize, their actions reflect upon us all.

Nutshell: Sad Nonys promising and illustrius carreer is cut short and wish him the best, but also disappointed that all foriegners will soon be looked upon as quitters.

Edit: Also this gives me a ton more appreciation for what Idra has to endure and after I met him at WCG I was a fan but now I wish him nothing but the best and domination in Korea.
