Perhaps getting into the GOM house, and not having to worry about paying housing costs, changed the situation for him. if he gets into the house, he can work his way to code S without piling up huge bills doing so.

Sjow is arguably the most qualified foreigner in the entire world. I don't see any reason why his application wouldn't be accepted. I really hope he goes because the GSL needs more foreigners and I truly believe Sjow has what it takes to be one of the top players in the world.

doesn't really say when he sent in his application. so maybe he sent it in before the 22nd?

it's not terrible if he misses a season either. traveling will take a toll on you especially if you're moving for an extended period. he can rest up and practice on Korean ladders until then =]

i remind that sjow has said in the interview that he only goes to korea if he gets code s status! This thread confuses me a little bit :/

Sjow is certainly a player that I want to see in Korea. The amount of cheese will probably make him change his opinion about scouting.

He can only get better playing over there. Hopefully he takes the opportunity and heads over. He is one of a few foreigners not already in korea that I think have a legitimate shot at code S.

IMO the best foreigner outside of Korea atm, although I dislike his lack of scouting early game.

He will be a beast when he goes to Korea, I can see him doing well there if he scouts more often for cheese and funny strats

Sjow is sick hands down. One of the most accomplished EU players and one of the lowest apm.

Always good to see all the old WC3 players I used to model my gameplay from do well in SC2 as well, wish him the best of luck.

I hope the foreigner influx to korea continues at the pace it's started at, the earlier it happens the bigger chance foreigners have a chance to be relevant because it isn't a huge wall of "korea vs the world" per say.

Sjow and Tarson are the two bosses I try and pattern my Terran play after. Sjow is a beast and I have a totally non-homosexual man crush on him. I hope he brings the pain to Korea. Sjow fighting!!!!

The more good foreigners, the better. I enjoy watching the foreigners play against the best Korea has to offer. Hopefully Sjow goes, he's a really good player and I'd love to see how he stacks up against the best Koreans.
