Anyhow i love to see NA and Europe growing day by day in Esports. The first real confrontation between the 3 continents will be at TSL3. Best from all over the world. The winner will be some non korean, you`ll see. There is a lot of potential in EU-NA, a lot of good players. Anyhow, MLG, dreamhack any many other will be more exciting now with Idra back.

Many who can play at such a high level? Yes, there are quite a few who are up at that skill tier. Many who can easily compete against IdrA? No, that's ridiculous. At such a high level you just can't use "easily compete" since it's an oxymoron. So, minus your disingenuous interpretation, I'd have to agree with the other gentleman. You can't really determine skill on the proscene without results to back it up. Besides Jinro it is pretty hard to find any other western player that can claim to be around the same level. | ||

Lots of it. So not placing at least in the ro8 every GSL it's gonna get hard to keep yourself under a roof. | ||

He did very well in GSL's, he kept on improving on every single GSL after the first. That is an achievement by itself. By the way, will he continue to ladder in Korean servers? | ||

The biggest hurdle I see right now for non korean sc2 is that the ladders are so much worse. EU/US players need to start copying builds and developing standards of games based on trial and error rather than off beat wierd stuff. | ||

Gonna miss seing Idra in the GSL but it's gonna be fun to see if his presence can elevate the US server (and possibly EU). The biggest hurdle I see right now for non korean sc2 is that the ladders are so much worse. EU/US players need to start copying builds and developing standards of games based on trial and error rather than off beat wierd stuff. Furthermore, US and EU players would need to start living in team houses. I don't see this happening any time soon. | ||

Korean pro teams have a much more effective training system. At this point, korean teams (with the addition of team liquid) will continue to improve more rapidly than the west because their team houses being such a better training environment. | ||

I think that if American teams set up American houses, it could be massively advantageous, and I think that it may be the next big step. After this of course. This is huge ^_^. | ||

Unbelievable close spawn locations on Metalo and gay maps like Jungle Basin and Shakuras just made him lose. We have proof that Idra can beat the best player in the world MVP and how? By annihilating him on a disadvantaged map. He went to Korea to do one thing: win money but first and foremost improve his skill and we can certainly say he achieved that. He will now go back to the US competing in tournaments with similar and maybe greater prize pools than the GSL but having less skill level in them overall. Is this a great decision? Yes. All the top players will be travelling to the GSL for what? having less chacne to win the same amount of money offered in US/ EUROPE. Idra isnt scared of playing koreans or Jinro, its just that its not logical to do it anymore for the reasons stated above. Thats my opinion hope i didndt offend ne1 >< Yeah cause Shakuras TvZ is disadvantaged for the Zerg. lmao Sounds like a jilted fanboy imo | ||
