I'm not sure I can think of any Europeans (or indeed foreigners at all) who would be prioritized ahead of Sjow, or even at the same level. Maybe White-Ra and Naniwa lately, but Sjow has been consistently at the top.

This does come as a bit of a surprise to me, as I'm sure I saw an interview with him lately where he said he wasn't sure if he wanted to go to Korea, if it would be worth it (considering how much he wins in Europe). I'm glad he decided on giving it a go, though, big fan!

Confusing.

Maybe he just testing if he could get a spot if needed ?


He said something along the lines of it not being particularly feasible for the chance of getting into Code S when he'd have no team house, would have to sort everything out for himself, and there's not such a range of tournaments to participate in. Not sure if he was aware of the player house or not at the time, but Wheat/Slasher actually brought it up on Lo3 as something he could do since it was the same day that Artosis tour video came out, so perhaps he's thought on that since then?

I still think Sjow is one of the most deserving players for a direct invite to Code A (am guessing this means he hasn't got one), but a place in the player house would be a nice start.

I also kinda got the feeling from Lo3 that he isn't interested in GSL because it takes so long and that he can't get the best practice even if he is in korea and still will be forced to practice with other foreigners. Except ladder of course.

Oh well gl I guess. Always good to see foreigners in gsl ^^

To asha above me:

Yeah Djwheat and Slasher mentioned him about that but I doubt he knew about it himself. He didn't really comment on it after he found it. I just got the feeling how he was talking about that he can't really get the good practice in korea because even if there is a house it's still just foreigners and only practice you can get is ladder.

That's weird, you put to source and the source is you. That's kind of hawkward.

On the subject, i hope he goes there. Sweden representing, again.

Definitely a worthy person to go to Korea, but as we don't know everyone who has applied hard to say who does and does not get in. I'd be happy to see him go though.

His no scouting technique against cheesey koreans will be interesting to watch in GSL code A. Nevertheless i hope he does well over there. It would be amazing to see someone without that much speed but just a good understanding of unit composition and strategy win big in korea where hand speed is emphasized so much.
