Umm ... not really because Draco bitched a lot when it was clear he couldn't cut it. I honestly do believe from NoNY's tone of voice that he left for personal reasons. It seemed like he just went there for a fulfilling experience and had a lot of fun. As cheesy as that sounds, in the end, it sounds like he got a lot more accomplished than Draco to me.

this is really sad. It seems the foreigners always have the promise of going to korea, with us seeing them in the leagues, so I'm always keen to watch them. but when they try and come back, I loose hope in them because they have lost potential; always, I like foreigners not because of their dominating skill, but because they have the promise to do better. I used to like draco, but when he came home, I didn't care whether he won on the foreign scene because there was no going back for him. it didn't matter if he ruled the foreign scene with his new found skills, because that was as high as he would go. he was just training for the rest of the foreigners, to encourage them to go to korea if they could match him. and now nony.

I don't think anyone is "blaming" the gf, everyone who has posted about her has recognized that a gf is a really legitimate reason to leave Korea. I agree.

yes, perhaps my word choice was poor. not everyone posting about the gf was polite and positive about it as you say either... but i think speculating on the legitimacy of nony's reasoning is pointless. he made the best decision for himself, which is what ultimately matters.

This was pretty unexpected. From second in Courage to leaving, totally unexpected. Oh well, good luck to him.

I think he left because they wanted to force him to not click for probes.

I support the decision; you have to draw the line somewhere.

Being serious, though, crap. After that great first Courage run, I think we all had high hopes for Nony. Given how fast the other foreigners in Korea have dropped like flies, we really have to give Idra some credit...

He discovered that terran was imba, and didn't want to deal with the imbalance any longer. IMO
