Jeffrey "SjoW" Brusi, the Swedish Terran who recently won the IEM European Championships in Kiev, has written an application for the GSL foreigner house in Seoul, Korea.
Several hours ago on IRC, Sjow noted that he wrote the application. He later confirmed this privately. It is important to note that there is no guarantee that he will actually make the move to Korea because he wishes to play in IEM tournaments as well. It seems that his immediate StarCraft future may be determined by the scheduling of these two tournaments. Should they clash in a significant way, he will have to make a difficult choice.
The prospect of a Terran like SjoW in Korea must excite not just foreign fans but even the GSL itself. The league has seen increased exposure and a large viewership thanks to recent foreign success.
Hope he goes! I have no idea as to how well he'll do but with his current achievements I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to give it a serious shot in Korea.
So who else fills out the foreigner house?

The more Swedes in GSL the better! :D

I have a hard time seeing anyone who would get a spot ahead of him.

Why, Sjow, whyyy? Application for next season ended on the 22nd ... 
|
i cant imagine him not being chosen really, good luck to him!
|
SjoW has great success in the foreigner scene, he should be able to do decently in the GSL.
|
so i wonder if it's worth it, with all the big tournaments outside of Korea, obviously you can travel to those, but not all of them, so that's a very tough decision. i'm sure sjow would benefit a LOT by playing in a practise house though since he wants to work on his mechanics and that's the best way to do that.
gl no matter what your choice is dude
|
sjows got it, JEEE JEEEEEE
|
GL to SjoW ^_^ we need more code S foreigners :D
|
this is great news! 
if they don't give him a spot in the house, i'll be quite shocked... he definitely deserves it and I'm sure he could put up a good fight in the korean scene.

 SjoW
Most tourney/cup wins, highest ELO/peak ELO, best record. He'll be there ezpz.
|
Easily the best terran in Europe (okay besides Jinro), he should be guranteed!
|
Sjow. is. awesome. Love watching this guy play, and I hope his schedule allows him to increase the competitive foreigner presence in Korea!
His low-apm (relative to pros), no-scouting, consistent 1-1-1 focused playstyle is distinctive and really fun to see.

With the viewers he'd bring and the level of skill he is at. I doubt GOM will ignore him. Winning IEM Kiev is a good chance for him to get an auto invite for code A spot since after all major tournament = auto invite for code A.

didn't Sjow had an interview recently were he said that he will not go to Korea unless he can get into code S straightaway?
Confusing.
Maybe he just testing if he could get a spot if needed ?

yeah he did give an interview saying just that!

Certainly one of the best European Terrans we have at the moment.
Best of luck if you decide to go to Korea sjow! We'll be rooting for you.

I hope he gets in, he has some amazing skills. Where better to show them off at then the GSL.
