wtf?! where did this come from?? TorcH was pretty good but now I think he will only grow and become another foreign force to reckon with.
Being weak is a choice.

Wow. Big grats to Torch. First SC2 foreigner on a Korean team? That's quite an achievement.

I think Idra started out SC2 on a pro team, non the less its still very impressive. The more foreigners spending time in Korea the better.

Very big grats to TorcH! He's fun to watch, his playstyle is his own and I don't think there are a lot of people that you can say that about. I hope to see him do well in future events.

I'm quite surprised. What would Startale gain by recruiting Torch? Not to offend, but there are tons of better players, also many foreigners.

Awesome to see Korean teams not being afraid of including foreigners in their rosters. the vT situation aside I hope this is a trend that continues.

Well he is talented, and quite dedicated to e-Sports. I really think it has something to do with a foreigner having inside access to the new association, especially given his new coach is the president.

a lot of exposure in western markets, a creative player who they obviously think have potential, etc... i see plenty of reasons.

Whilst it may sound harsh I have to agree with this. The recruitment makes very little sense to me.

Wait, what? ST_TorcH?

Uh, ok, good for him. Ha.

I'm curious about one thing though. He only managed to qualify for the first GSL, and went out in the round of 64. That was enough to get code A? "As a foreigner"?
High five :---)

He's also very well spoken. A great representative for a team who's sponsors are looking for a more international profile.
