Since when has he been playing on the KR server? Anyway best of luck to him, I think he can get much better by joining ST.

i'm sure more teams will try to get a few good foreigners in. I just watched the giantbomb house tour video and what zenio says makes a lot of sense.

I fully agree man, I'm kinda scared to criticize TL in anyway (of course this makes sense being its board and all), but the out right ease in the Torch bashing is kinda disappointing.

Oh well.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Torch has plenty of "talent" and we should all be happy that a foreigner made it onto a strictly Korean team (prior to his addition)

Awesome. I hope TorcH can continue to develop his unique style. I always love to watch him play.

Who knows? Maybe with some more training he can eventually nuke two probes at a time.

It means Ret was one of the most talented BW players outside Korea and was obviously going to be an amazing SC2 player if he applied himself. Obviously they made a good choice.

I am pretty sure he was referring to your comment about ret, not that torch was bad. It's awesome that any foreigner gets picked up by a korean team. Grats to torch hope he tears it up.

I kinda liked how TorcH himself wasn't sure if he was actually on the team for quite a while lol, again awesome news.

Idra made a conscious decision to join a foreign team and not to seek out a korean team in Starcraft 2, I doubt he is jealous at all. I really doubt that he couldn't get on a top korean team over there, maybe not every single one would accept him in with open arms, depends on his history with them, but at least 2-3 of them would.

Wow, that's awesome for Torch. To be brutally honest, I always thought of Torch as a sub par player given what I've seen of him in tournaments. And I don't mean to be rude! Super surprising and cool news.
