Give the poor guy a rest here. I know if I got the opportunity to do something like this, I would go for it, even if im "only" D+. This is between him and his sponsors/team. They knew what skill level he was at, and they still recruited him due to avaiability, since he is allready in Korea. To say that he stole someone elses chance to go to Korea is just pure stupidity. If you want to jump that wagon, Nony "stole" someone elses chance as well, but I would love to see you try to bash on him..

Maybe he isnt the most skilled player, but if they think Starcraft 2, he might be good there. He has tons of dedication and courage it looks like, so who knows, he might be a really good sc2 player, allthough I dont think he will accomplish much as a foreigner in Korea, but nobody has accomplished anything major there for the last 3-5 years anyways..

Haha, I just noticed he has stolen the TL "Korea News Flash" banner to his biography, shows that he actually reads TL. I wonder how he feels if he has seen this thread. ;;

http://www.fragdominant.com/user/11592/ and click biography if you want to see it.

This reminds of the old 14-15 year olds having clans in CS 1.5 who were planning to go to CPL and get sick sponsors. The lack of knowledge and the amount of ignorance is just over the top.

"Hay lets send a kid named Pierre to S.Korea and hook us up with a sick SC team, its np since he studies there."

WHAT? :D

No, quite the opposite. Don't "poor guy" him. You have to assume that he is fully aware of the scene and situation he is in and used this knowledge to his advantage to get sponsorship from FD. FD obviously was too naive or stupid to realize this and was not able to comprehend his skill level (or lack thereof). The only thing he can really offer is being in Korea. That's it. He does not have the skill, attitude, knowledge, contacts etc. to make any significant impact. Abusing ICC does not really help either.

Regarding SC2, you have to assume that the whole gaming environment will be similar to the current starcraft environment and therefore the result will be the same - failure.

FD should immediately cancel the contract, try to contain the reputation damages, reiterate what exactly their objectives are and do more research based on the objectives to act upon. This whole ordeal does not make any sense at all.

He could have let his place to somebody better. WHat he s doing is nearly a thief , he steals som1 deserving to go to korea possibility and he also robs the sponsor who think hes good... and also he's suposed to recuit "new sc talent" for this team..what a morron , its like asking a D- player to solve complaints A/A+ on iccup. His game vision is so crappy that whatever he will decide/ do it will be bad.


Oh irony, how I love you so.


Wow, holy shit, he made a typo in his second language. Stupid.

I think he is supposed to be a talent scout.Unfortunately, some idiots though that they might make him a progamer.
As I understand it, they will pay him some relatively cheap money to search for SC (or rather SC2) talents. Personally I believe he might fail.
But on the other hand - you bash the guy; he fucking sucks at starcraft, but he is smart enough to abuse his way to D+! Maybe he will be able to abuse some idiotic 12 year old kroean to join "frag dominant". I think that's their plan
Of course they also think that someone who never achieved anything (LOL D+ rank) can become great quickly. I dont think he can even get the B rank... and progamers are above A rank easily..

Wow, so much hate against this guy saying there are others who deserve it more. Hey, it's a freaking contract between this gaming company and him, it's not like a public charity or something where a rich guy gets paid instead of a poor guy. Or, did Idra deserve the progaming license more than any of those koreans who spend 12 hrs a day in a clan house? So don't talk about dedication or courage, this has nothing to do with that, it's just being in the right place in the right time. The most you can do is blame FD for being ignorant about the scene and the player itself.

I mean, what if FD or w/e came to you and payed you for staying in Korea and mingle with "the right people". Would you say: "No, I'm just D+ there are others who deserve it more!!"?

Time will tell whether it's all a big fail (most probably) or something interesting comes out, but there's no reason to feel so offended...

Thats because Nony didnt steal anything from anyone, he won a tournament and EARN his spot, so your comparison is stupid.

We cannot give this guy nor the organization a rest cause this is stupidity and ignorance at its best.

Uh.. yes i would say that? And if i didn't; I would be fine with expect other people to call me out for being a bitch..?
There's a HUGE reason to feel offended some trash player comes up and takes what should belong to people who've actually worked.
You present a rational, yet ignorant argument. at least TRY to play SC competitively and you will easily see why it's such a big deal.

Or, did Idra deserve the progaming license more than any of those koreans who spend 12 hrs a day in a clan house?

What do u know about Idra ? You his friend? you know everything about him right? , do you have any clue of what he sacrificed? Me neither, and likewise with you. (granted , it was indirectly through a metaphor), but don't talk shit about him? jesus
