Bitter much?
What's your problem, he just won the European championship. If there are better euroes, then they have to prove it. That's how they draft.
Atm he obviously has to be considered the best European (who's not already in GSL ofcourse).
Also I wouldn't worry too much about the APM thing. You often see players have 300 apm, but absolutely nothing going on. 160 useful APM is probably the average in pro gamer standards. Most people just like to spam, me included. Makes you focus a little more.


Dont mess with proud swedish fanboys ( u are sometimes that annoying XD)
Winning a tournament does never make you the best automatically
and im watching every single cup
Sjow is never the best
TLO isnt the best as well just because he won against sjow in 2 Bo3s recently right?
I guess it was pokeridol


It would be so helpful if you would just share your expertise and inform us poor swedish fanboys of who actually is the best, most deserving european to go. For as far as I know sjow has more tournament victories than anyone else, has been consistently good for many months and just finished first in the IEM.

Best of luck to Sjow, he is a great player even though he has behaved in rather childish ways in the past. Going to Korea would be good for him as a person I think

That's very ignorant of you. I don't care whether someone is Swedish or not. I don't understand why you're so butt hurt about good players applying to the gom house. And what's the deal with saying that all Swedish "fanboys" are annoying. Just saying Sjow is a good player, and I'm happy he'll enter the Korean scene.
It's up to GOM whether he may stay or not anyway.

What issue do you have against Sjow? It doesn't matter if he's the best Euro player or not. He's willing to go compete in Korea and his sponsors are willing to finance. It's not like him going to Korea is preventing someone more 'deserving' from going. No money coming out of your pockets so I don't know why you'd even care.

excuse me but Sjow has won as many tourneys as whitera has. Sjow just beat whitera in a bo7 in the finals of Kiev. (or bo5, idk)
That does not "instantly" make him better but with constantly high results he is definitely on whitera's level
ATM i would say Sjow and Whitera are the 2 best erupeans (other than Jinro and Ret who are already at GSL)
I don't think this has anything to do with nationalities.

Waching drewbie's stream and sitting in the chat (no idea how we got unto the subject of Sjow), I had a bit of an argument with a fellow who insisted that Sjow was more of a ladder player. I genuinely couldn't believe what I heard.

Choya isn't disqualified, it was only from the team league he was disqualified from.

That has to be a joke, if you are serious i might suggest you to do something but the equal might be a ban on my ass. But I'm gonna tell you this, SjoW will never compete in the Code S, even LiveForever would take a crap on that dude game wise.

You're probably one of the guys who said the same thing about Jinro when he joined, am I right? :p

I have no idea what exactly n4duh is trying to say, but if a player can dominate the foreigner scene like sjow has, that player is most definitely a potential contender in code S.

I think both Sjow and Whitera are better than Ret, and Sjow didn't really become arguably the best Euro Terran (until Jinro showed everyone who's boss) until Morrow switched, so I think Morrow's up there too. All of them deserve to compete though, because they're all fantastic players. I don't know why everyone's making a big deal. I'm happy he's going and I hope he crushes face in Code A. If he competed I think he'd have no problem making top eight for a chance to make Code S.

Oh I guess I heard wrong. I thought that choyaFou had been disqualified from GSL5 for his ladder cheat. (which I guess is untrue-he only got disqualified from team league) Since I believed choyaFou would not play in the next season and because Sjow said he would only go to Korea if he got into code S instantly; I came up with a fantasy. That Sjow was possibly given instant code S acess in season 5 in place of choya. (thats all I was trying to say) I can dream right?

I am not saying Sjow would dominate or fail; just seeing more foreigners would be awesome.
