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.


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.

Dominate? You're a joke too. Same goes for the guy asking if i was one of thoose saying this and that about Jinro.

I'd give you a proper reply but I can already tell you won't be staying for very long.

What they gonna do? Ban me for my own thoughts about some peoples statements?

^^^^ yes, thankfully

Also were you one of the guys that said Jinro didn't belong in Team Liquid? I remember people saying that a few months ago.

What I'm about to say is not to imply that Sjow doesn't deserve it, because he does, but...

Anyone else think that, by his team publicly announcing that he's applied and getting the foreigner scene rallied up for him, they're almost forcing GSL to pick him?

edit: derp nevermind. Someone corrected me by saying it wasnt his team who announced it. Still, I think any announcement, publicity and anticipation of a well-known player applying almost forces GSL to pick them, whether it was his own team or not.

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.


White-Ra
cheers

Now that you are married, how does your wife deal with this situation? Does she support you a lot, or is it difficult when you have to train for an an event or something and don't have enough time to be with your wife?

White-Ra: Sure, she supports me very well. Sometimes we go together to a tournament like DreamHack. She came with me and she liked Sweden and my friends there very much. So I might go to Korea for the next GSL, which I don't know yet, it's like 50/50, but if I go to Korea, we will go together, me and my wife.

Talking about Korea. Is moving to Korea to play in the GSL an option for you?

White-Ra: Yeah, but it's only one tournament, the GSL, and if I go to Korea I cant play European tournaments. So it's like you have to make a choice.


There is more than 1 spot in the foreigner house, and I don't think it would jive too well with the rest of the players there for White-Ra to have his wife with him in the player bunks...

Its actually pretty fucking hard now, you only need to get unlucky and get someone like ST_Bomber in your group and you have a HUGE chance of not making it, regardless of who you are - even MVP.

Theres too many sickos outside Code A, that just havent had a chance to make it in there yet.

But he d most likely make it still!

Looking forward to see if Sjow can compete in GSL. I've been watching his channel a little bit and from what I've seen he has a pretty one sided tactic. I don't know how well that will fit with some of the crazy agressive Korean openings.

If he's smart and gets accepted he should not pass up the oppertunity to play in the biggest sc2 tournament the world has ever seen. He should at least give it a month and try to qualify or stay over there fora couple months, look at jinro.

"Hello,

In GSL Feb, which will take in February, we plan to invite 4 notable foreign players who will be given seeds to be invited to play in Code A. Which players do you feel deserve such chance?
Discuss and name the players who will be worthy of receiving such seeds. Your discussion will provide valuable feedback for us and help to make more interesting GSL.

Also, for information concerning Code A preliminary and our team house, it is updated at www.gomtv.net

Thank You.

- John the Translator."


So isn't SjoW someone who deserve one of these seeds so he doesn't have to qualify for Code A? I asked this before in this thread but noone responds =P

He will need to learn how to scout though... Those Koreans would tear him apart if they realized he never scouts.

There are a lot of beasts not in GSL so far though judging from the Zotac invitational. Well known players like MVP or MKP or MC are killed by unknowns like NEX Puzzle and many other players.

Good luck to those foreigners not getting seeded. It's always exciting to see you guys try to qualify by waiting for Artosis' tweets. The GSL 3 qualifier thread was in fact the most awesome gsl experience for me.

I wish Nerchio would apply, then get to the finals to meet Gumiho. Hope Sjow gets in.
