What are some things he can do to compensate? Could he start playing more games on Korea? If Scoots paid enough money would there be some way to magically make the lag better? Honestly, it's depressing to watch IdrA waste 5 solid hours of practice time on such garbage T_____T | ||

Honestly, it's depressing to watch IdrA waste 5 solid hours of practice time on such garbage T_____T I'm pretty sure that the pros ladder not for actual practice (like the kind to get better) but to simply expose themselves to situations that do not arise in team practice. Korean ladder is just so saturated with pros that it is essentially a diversified team practice group, so that is why Korean ladder is legit practice, while all the other ones are not. | ||

Yes his results have been poor, but watching him play sure is entertaining and energising compared to lets say 2 months ago. | ||

Actually Greg said the koreans use ladder primarily as a source of practicer over custom games. | ||

If they still aren't good enough i'm sure his friends list can provide someone. Ladder isn't great practice, Even if the matchmaking was the same. | ||

I believe that his schedule (may be permanent?) is to stay international during the spring/summer/probably fall and then move back to Korea for the winter. It is the best schedule for being able to attend foreign tournaments. | ||

Likely May or June. | ||
