IdrA to return to U.S.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Feb. 16, 2011. – Today, Evil Geniuses (EG), one of the world’s leading professional gaming brands, has announced that EG’s StarCraft II player Greg “IdrA” Fields will be moving back to the U.S. from Korea indefinitely to represent the organization domestically in various upcoming tournaments and team leagues.

Fields will temporarily put his goals in Korea on hold to return to the U.S. as the North American StarCraft II scene continues its rapid growth. The amount of valuable experience he gained in Korea over the years will be a huge asset as he furthers his career in North America.

His focus while training in the U.S. will be on several leagues and tournaments, including Major League Gaming’s 2011 circuit. He will also actively participate in online events with EG.

“This is going to be a great year for American eSports, and I've said all along that I'd like nothing more for eSports to boom outside of Korea and for myself to be at the forefront of that,” Fields states. “There are a bunch of big leagues and tournaments coming up outside of Korea and I want to be able to focus on those, as well as being able to play in more team leagues for EG. We're also planning a number of other projects that will be announced soon.”

그렉필즈 선수는 국내에서 GSL에 지속적으로 참가 하였습니다.

한국에서 GSL에서 해외 선수로서는 최고의 성적을 지속적으로 거두었지만 , 오랜 한국 생활과 최근에 잦아진 해외 대회로 인해
팀과 그렉필즈 개인은 해외 대회의 집중과 미국내의 스타크래프트II 대회의 저변 확대를 위해 미국으로 돌아가기로 결정했습니다.

곰티비는 그렉필즈 선수의 결정을 존중하며, 그가 한국에서 했던 프로게이머 활동이 고향으로 돌아가서 좋은 결실을 맺길 바라며
해외 선수들의 지속적인 실력 향상에 기여하여 다음 GSL혹은 내년 GSL에서 더 많은 해외 선수들과 함께 GSL에 참가하길 바랍니다.

Greg Fields has participated in GSL consistently.

He has performed admirably in GSL as a non Korean player.
However, due to his long stay in Korea and many foreign tournaments coming up, EG and Greg have decided that Greg should return to US so he can better concentrate on growing non Korean tournaments.

GOMTV respects Greg’s decision and hope his experience in Korea will be used as an asset to him back home.
GOMTV also wishes that Greg can contribute greatly to foreign Starcraft scene and will look forward to see him again in future GSL
