i can understand the benefits of having someone like tlo playing in european events instead of just leaving that stage for the others to take, and it is a good thing if that coincides with his own personal decision to withdraw from korea. i am still very disappointed every time i see a foreign player leaving korea though. i know there are many difficulties and more information about the reasons might lift that disappointment, but we lack presence there, a proud, enduring bastion of guys holding up our flags so to not be drowned out by the enormous dedication and skill koreans are putting up.
so far only idra has managed to stay there (i discard previous, 'real' progamers because the game was a lot different and less competitive then), but im confident in the rest of the team. haypro and jinro dont seem to want to leave yet and ret and huk certainly are an experienced force.

what can i say. tl must prevail! gl, guys!

Best of luck TLO! It must be tough having never been away from home and adjusting to a new culture. I bet TLO's play will improve alot when he's back at home.

Also what a cute cheerful by Tyler's wife!

I'm kind of surprise by tlo's decision. I was really looking forward of he qualifying as zerg in GSL 3.

Sad that TLO is coming home. I loved cheering for him and seeing him on TV. But it wasn't meant to be.

well, i dont think people flaming each other on the internet happens rarely enough to be worth mentioning. even a more actively moderated tl doesnt get rid of it completely. :/

I'm looking forward to a dominating performance form our boys in blue in Dallas. I think there is a good chance of a Liquid member walking away with gold.

Sad that TLO won't be in korea for a while, but i can understand. In sports often a player will go play in a foreign league for a while and then come back and be much better than they ever were before. I think playing in games that aren't as high pressure will help him out more in the long run and hope to see TLO back in gsl action in the future.

The TLO thing really sucks. Hopefully it will turn out for the best, but I somehow doubt that.

GL to you back here, and good luck to all Liquid at MLG.

I thought TLO has new motivation with zerg?

Wtf? Why is he leaving his TL members at korea?

Honestly, I think the return to Germany is favourable form him and TL/Tlaf. For some reasons the korean scene can just be reduced to the GSL which means that if you don`t go to far you will not make a lot of money and you will eventually be forced to do nothing else but practice inhouse as there are no other cups to compete. Besides as everyone knows if there are no concrete tourneys to prepare for, your motivation might also struggle. In NA/Europe there are a lot more opportunities to prove himself and we tend to pay more attention to those events anyway. I mean seeing TLO facing Bratok, Kiwikaki, Socke, Sjow or WhiteRa surely will be very exciting.
I think the three months were still helpful for TLO as he prolly has learnt a lot about training mechanisms and improved his knowledge about the game.

s.a.y
