I hope he did it before season 5 deadlines....if not, either way with the IEM win under his belt now, he'll be chosen for sure. I think he'd make it fairly deep in Code A (and if SansZenith is still in Code S, maybe he'll get a shot in as well lol).

After the interviews he gave, I would say that if he does go to Korea it'll be only for one GSL during this period of time, then he'll probably just stay in Europe where he feels he has more chances to compete for more money.

It would be awesome if he goes; he was super impressive against White Ra during the IEM European Masters.. Lots of controversy around his scouting style but at the end of the day; results speak louder than words!

I hope he goes and makes it huge to set the trend for other foreigners!

I thought a few top foreigners were gonna be given freepass to Code-A due to their performances outside of Korea? So that should make registering for Code-A qualifiers useless. I think I heard/saw that somewhere not sure though can someone confirm?

Honestly if you look at almost all of the code A matches, and some of the lower code S, you see that the top 10 foreigner players (not counting those who already are in korea) would crush that, hands down.
This "Koreans are always the best" sort of thing isn't really relevant anymore imho.

Lol yes it is... imagin adding all the european players and american players together we would have over 3x the amount of "selection" and possibly half the amount of talent... Just becuase you see a few of the Code a games not so great... doesn't mean shit really

We have only 2 of the Absolute best forigners in code S ... thats still only 1/16th .. thats like what ? 6/7% and thats not including the sc1 pro gamers that "haven't switched over" i think flash and the dong would still completly hurpdurp this game to new levels

I don't mean to talk theoretically but don't just forget about sc1 players Remember how fast MVP dominated and how long MC has been the best protoss .. practicaly from the moment he played the game..

I don't doubt the forigner scene is so much more powerful but realistically we haven't even seen the cream of the crop in sc2 yet.

This. I really hope nobody takes this the wrong way, but Jinro had never done "too" extraordinary in tournaments before his MLG breakthrough - and now he is crushing souls in code S. Being in Korea and practicing his heart out, I can definitely see Sjow achieving something similar.
After the bad code S players and unlucky code A players "switched places", I 100% agree that the top 10 foreigners are easily capable of competing in code A.

strange i recently watched SjoW's interview on the youtube channel of mYm which was held at the IEM in Kiev where he confidently said that he wont try to make it to Code A because it would be to time consuming and there is lots of stuffs going on in Europe !! o.O

its right the end about ~3:20 i think !

wisdom is earned not given !!!

Hm I would not really like this. Its quite unlikely that he would earn there more than in europe, given that GSL prize distribution is so incredibly top heavy.
And it would mean that we would see much less games from him than before, like it was with TLO when he was in Korea and like it is with Huk now.

Reguarding his comments in interviews about korea, I think the IEM win and the emergance of the foreigner house is what changed his decision, id say quite a few of the dignitas players applied for the gaming house tbh

I didn't read the thread so sorry if anyone already said this but he said on his stream last night that he had applied for the spot, but if it is at the same time as some IEM tournament he won't go. And he thought it was but was unsure.

foreigners neeed hope...


...


but they will wake up and realise....the jaedongs, flashus etc....are still better!

however, we have to wait and see how things will turn out...
I watch e-sports to see the best pro`s in a game do things that "common" pro`s could never do, and almost humiliate them. That skill-range just isn`t present in SC2. Again, I fully agree with having SC2 as a game.
