Whoa, hang on, I'm not claiming anything. I was giving a possible reason based on past Foreigner/Korea interactions and by no means claimed it to be true.
The reason I posited was the same reason Sheth didn't return to Korea: because his flight was booked for a different time and NASL/FXO/GOM wouldn't give him a new flight back from Korea on his preferred date, so if he wanted to return at different time, he would have to pay it himself. I'm saying that it's possible that's what this is. If that were true, ThorZaIN wouldn't be forced to stay the extra month under penalty of death, only under penalty of having to pay for his own plane flight if he wanted to return early.
Seriously, there's nothing to 'believe' about my post. I was positing a possibility that I deemed plausible.

Not digging this Spoon Terran nickname. It doesn't sound terrible but it doesn't get its point across if you really think about it.
Killing with a spoon implies slow and ineffective kills, while Thorzain is slow but effective. The only effective ways of killing with a spoon would be quick kills, such as using the spoon to push the bone in your nose into the brain, but the palm is better for that.
I feel a better nickname would be the Scalpel Terran. If one were to kill with a scalpel it would be a slow, effective, and methodical kill, just like what Thorzain does to his opponents.
Same here, i like Boa Constrictor Terran and will always picture him as that, the temporary nickname he was given by day9 when he beat Frutdealer in first round of TSL.
Shame you have to stay if you don't like it, i know the feeling man

I didn't think you were claiming anything and it is a good theory.
I just want people to be aware its only a theory before they start bashing on sponsors in a fan thread u know?

While I do want Thorzain to stay around to practice and improve in Korea. I wouldn't want it so that it's forced upon him  .
Seeing as you'll be stuck there for another month, hopefully you can make it work out for the best and come back home in October. Best of luck and keep fighting Thorzain!

Looks like Thorzain will be coming home in September as originally planned. I'm conflicted since I wanted him to train in Korea some more, but at least he's happy to be coming home. So why not?
I do hope his training in Korea will help him dominate in future events though.

It looks like as if I will be going home in September as first intended, phew.

Is Thorzain going to play in the MLG championships this year? I know he didn't want to play in MLG again unless he was seeded because he didn't like the way the tournament was run, but would he play in the open bracket when there's a huge prize pool?
I'd love to see him in MLG again, he's my favorite player to watch.

Something Chill said during the TSL.
I'd love to see Thorzain stream again too :D

I figure he'd resume streaming when he gets back from Korea. Would love to see him stream some EU/NA ladder after training/practicing in Korea, maybe we can see some more awesome Sky Terran games.
