I couldn't agree more. You start out saying that Jinro 2:0d the player who was considered the best player in the world, just a couple of weeks ago, and then comfortably states that Korean play is almost ahead as it was in bw..
Think before you post.
I think Sjow has a good shot to get into code A atleast. There's alot of luck involved though, as the qualifiers are best of one right?


How long have Jinro and Idra been practicing in Korea, within the Korean community, with Koreans? I am afraid you looked right past the logic of my post - the play in the European finals was, as stated, miserable compared to what we have seen in the GSL. Idra and Jinro are no longer a part of the foreigner scene, meaning they they are no longer a part of the tournament circuit featuring primarily foreign players and not korean ones. I would say that their play, and the improvement in their play, reflects this fact. Moreover, I am confident that either Idra or Jinro could've won this European championship with ease.


Personally I'd say the finals were alot better than probably most of the code A games. To say it was miserable is just not true. Day9 even made a daily on the first game "How to TvP" basically. I dunno if you're just trolling though, in that case I apologise to everyone for latching on.
I think Sjow is on par with the top code Aers right now, and with some practise time in Korea he could get into code S.

I guess your point is that it's impossible to get ahead with the Korean players, and that Sjow's play is horrible.. we'll just have to see I guess, but I don't know why you're being so pesimistic, especially as we've seen good foreigners compete in the GSL.

I recently became a huge fan of him after watching him crush White-Ra with his three prong attacks. I would love to see him in the GSL!

I've no real idea whether SjoW would be able to hold his own in/advance from Code A but there are a couple of things:

If I remember rightly SC2gears showed his APM from the IEM Kiev finals averaging 140 to 170, rising consistently over the time of the game (one of the games he was above 220 for the last 2-3 mins of the game)

I have seen him scout sometimes, seems to be a Map/MU/Player specific thing, and I also saw him hold unscouted 3 rax SCV all-in, no bunker, had 1 tank that popped out just as the rush came up the ramp and died almost instantly - it was vs. some random master league kid, but then there isnt much finesse a pro can add to a 3 rax all-in~~

I'm sure he'd need some time to acclimate to the difference in style from EU to KR but I'm sure he can excel even in the Korean environment. Good luck SjoW!

so Gom chose huk, ret, haypro and moonglade for the 4 foreigner code A spots. Does that mean Sjow wont play in GSL?

It's ridicoulous how every swede comes online on this forum and putting sjow on a pedestal telling he will participate with the pros in code s like he belongs there. He will get demolished in the next iem coming up.

Just look at Jinro.. It's the Swedish blood man :d
jk.. but seriously Sjow's a good player. Considering all the weird shit going on in code A I think he has a shot ;d

You don't know that, he has only applied for the foreigner house but if the gomstaff is up to date whos good and whos not he will not get chosen and not listen to the up hyping kids.

Well considering he's been winning so much, I highly doubt you're right.. but guess we'll see. Which foreigner is so amazing that Sjow can't even be considered good anyway?
Be happy for him instead of going all narrow minded.

Why should i be happy for someone that isn't good enough for korea and be thinking he is all that with megalomania? "sjowbuild"...

I'm not gonna reply anything more since the admins prolly ban me for no reason again.

None of the players who went there started out great, but they're working out great now. Being negative about it seems like a sad way of life, but it's your choice to make I guess.
Also it's not like he's diminishing any other player's chances of going there. Gom picks the best, and probably sjow will go there, but stay in the thread of your favourite player going there instead of being a party pooper in this imo.

Also saying that the admins will probably ban you again is considered to beg for it.

All the people saying Sjow won't make it far in GSL... it is impossible to tell. Has he ever played against the koreans/idra/Jinro without lag? Nope.

Not saying he WILL dominate.. I'm just saying we should lay off the assumptions until he actually demonstrates whether he is good enough or not. Which he is already in the process of doing so.

Have seen some amazing games from him, especially the ones against WhiteRa. Incredible multitasking. I wish he got more consistency though.

All the best, SjoW!
Always smile~
