No surprise ret left cause he got his korean training which puts him over 9000 now and will have no trouble winning the easier money such as assembly. No shame in that and I give him props for going to korea not once, but twice in his career.

I respect anyone that goes to korea to give it a shot cause even if they're not successful, the training they get from playing so many good opponents on ladder or in practice is invaluable and can't really be replicated anywhere else in the world. Just look at moonglade, only 1 month korean training and 4th at IEM.

Team houses in the foreign scene could be a start, but the average skill level needs to rise if they want to reach the korean level. To use an extreme example, a bunch of bronze leaguers could start a team house, but they wouldn't get that much better playing each other all the time cause you need to play players better than you to improve. Just look at morrow, his zvz is good by euro standards but blows compared to top zergs as shown by his losses to ret, idra and moonglade and the main reason for that is he has no good zergs to practice with.
