My heart goes out to Artosis and the loss of his best buddy

STILL, this is monumental. Throwing away S class salary and status for the development of western e-sports? I'm getting geek chills.
Artosis:  "It's like Detroit in there."   Tasteless:  "Lots of shootings and damaged buildings."

Look, theres just more top tier consistent talent in Korea, with new and innovative builds practicing in houses daily. I just can't see the NA scene booming for another 2+ years. One 50k NA weekend tourney once a year *shrug*.

I'm all for a great NA scene, but I don't see their being enough sponsorship to tip the scales to the foreign scene.


What? Do you actually mean Dimaga or DeMusliM?

Financially its a sound move. Much easier to win in the foreigner scene than in Korea, so he'll make much more money in the US.

But I think we are fast approaching a scene where once again foreigners lag behind the Koreans unless the team system that makes the Koreans better appears stateside

this may come off sounding bad (im not, im a huge IdrA fan), but i think hes doing it because he isn't making enough/significant amount of money in korea. i think he knows his chance of winning mlg national finals is alot higher than winning gsl finals espeically due to the fact he has so much more experience and skill from korea which a lot of the NA players don't have atm, so he's using this opportunity to earn more money (bcuz in the end, the proscene of sc is a business)
with that said however, i do think he wants esports in foreign countries to boom as well

IdrA hwaiting~

I'm actually sad about this... idra was the man in Korean, everybody either feared him wanted to beat him up. I know e-sports is growing world wide and that soon GSL-sized tournaments will pop-up outside of Korea *caugh*NASL*caugh* but I still believe GSL is and will be the "shit". Yes, I watched MLG and Dreamhack but in my heart I always felt like they were just a warm-up for the next GSL season (sorry if I insulted anyone with this statement)

damn ... I'm gone miss the leather gracket.

so no Idra vs Clide match? then who's gonna get the spot in code S
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

I never really was a huge fan of IdrA, but I'm really dissapointed with this decision. GSL was the right place for him as he wanted to compete with the best. If he had dropped down to Code A I could understand it, but he just had his strongest season so far. Sure he will most likely get better results in US and even make more money, even though if you really want money you wouldn't become a progamer.

Also his skill level may drop in US as his competition will be weaker, but in the other hand he will have easier time to find people to practice with so maybe not.

That's the clear reason he's doing it. Its the same reason White-Ra stays in Europe.

I think we're going to see most of the foreigners disappear from the GSL though =\
