Torch is an extremely smart player, and while his mechanics and execution need a bit of work, thats nothing practicing on hours end with top sc2 korean players can't fix. I wish the best of luck to my fellow teammate and hope to see him again in the future.

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.


Exactly how I feel, this is a great thing. The more foreigners in a progaming environment, the better it is! :D

Is Torch really that good? I haven't seen him perform well beyond getting into GSL 1, the easiest GSL, and not making it far at all.

Congratulations to him anyways.


Its like in every sports, they notice someone with lot of talent in that kind of event,and they want to help it to develop!(And maybe make a bit of profit/fame out of it, but that's normal )

Magic is "just" magic until I get my hands on the source code.

I feel like we'll be hearing more on this topic soon. however, this sounds absolutely awesome. If it's as good as it sounds, I think Torch deserves it.

wow this is one of the most (pleasant) random news ever.

I must admit i was not too impressed by Torch's play whenever i saw him play but i think the man has the dedication to succeed. He went to Korea on his own twice and probably he contacted many teams there to see if he can train with them.

I imagine it was like those scenes in martial arts movie where the guy sat days and nights outside the door of a dojo,braving the snow and rain only to move the heart of the teacher who accepted him as his disciple having previously said that he is not taking one.

congratulations and all the best to Torch.

It's because he has a crazy style and shows potential.

@TorcH I'm gonna to go to SKorea in a year and a half so I hope you're still there for us hopeful foreigners who dream of doing what you are doing.

A coach looking to recruit a project isn't going to look for the guy with strong macro and lacking in creativity, he's going to look for the guy who has that strategic spark that Torch has. Mechanics can be taught, creativity can't be.

I'm not really familiar with them, but http://twitter.com/VTGaming looks normal and updated an hour ago.

Disagree. Both can absolutely be taught.

I am so confused by this lol Not to take away from this achievement or anything, but if he can get into ST, pretty sure a lot of the foreigner scene could (e.g. people from root, liquid, EG, etc).

I REALLY hope his play improves by leaps and bounds after practicing with the ST guys. Expecting great things. GL torch
