most ppl who go to make it in korea breaks down quite fast under the living condition and longing for friends and family
im not shocked or disappointed, i think tlo made a good decision to go home and i think he will do well in the foreigner scene. it will be interesting to see how the other liquid players will do in korea now after seeing this happen to tlo

TLO leaving Korea isn't surprising to me after reading another recent interview. It sounded to me like he was trying to live a normal life on top of pro gamer life in the team house. He said he did a lot of things on his own because the other teammates weren't as social as he was. Kudos to him for having good social skills while still staying on top of his game. You can game anywhere, so why not be able to see your family as well?

Also, thanks for the replays.

Meh kinda disappointed. Wanted to see TLO in GSL. Maybe intense starcraft2 training got to him?

Adjusting to a different culture is really really hard. Can't say I blame TLO for wanting to leave.

Shame TLO is leaving, it's pretty obvious that his potential skill would have gotten much higher if he was to stay in Korea instead of leaving.

Lots of ppl believed that TLO was the next sc god but reality stroke.

Progamer environment was not for him it seems and I don't think he'll have much success/exposure if he doesn't compete in GSL.

I hope TL does well in MLG tho gogogo !

TLO is paid money to play Starcraft, accommodation provided in the mecca of Starcraft, able to practice with truly top flight players, and compete in THE Starcraft 2 tournament...

Yeah, his hearts not in it. Let's face it the GSL really is where it's at, and he had the opportunity to compete on a platter. Bye TLO!

I'd rather have the GSL (and Blizzards tourney money) try and branch out and better accommodate the international scene than have players all have to move to Korea and live in a completely different culture if they want to compete.
We want to be moving AWAY from the whole foreigner/korean thing.

Feel so sad for TLO. You can just sense that he's throwing the towel. That's too bad, he seems like such a nice guy.
