Yes but Naniwa isn't exactly playing much gsl for that week/month. I agree that actual GSL players should skip it for that matter. | ||

What if HuK stayed in Korea (back when he was at Liquid) and didn't attend Dreamhack Summer 2011, HSC 3, MLG Orlando and Providance... Would he won any of the GSL's in 2011? Becasue he traveled a lot he earned like 30k+ from these tournamnets, and if you do ok'ish in GSL code S you get like 2k per month. So can we really say traveling for HuK was bad idea? Lets take Idra. He played in GSL from start, he did very well, he left Korea and joined EG for a simple reason that he said many times in interviews. In Korea there is only GSL, and in US/EU there is MLG/IPL/DH/ESL/Asembly/Blizzcon/NASL (overall like 12 events, in 2012 it will be even more with 4x IPL's). If you fail in your 1st games of GSL season your out of money for a month, and competition is the hardest in the world. So would Idra do more money staying in Korea and play GSL's instead of going to almost every tournament in US/EU? Its hard to say what is really better right now, with only 1 big event in Korea that is hosted monthly or travel a lot sacrifice your training and earn money that way. Thats why I said at beginning 2012 will be very interesting because we will see how players will adapt, after experiences of 2011. | ||

Although I'd love to have naniwa in HSC, i would much rather see naniwa win a future GSL. He'd be the highest paid foreigner in a millisecond if he won it just because of all the publicity he'd get. So i support his decision to continue training. | ||

Good point about the GSL and Idra. Forgot how many events US has compared to the be-all and end-all GSL. I even find Artosis and Tasteless are gone a lot of the time for these "other" US events and the substitute casting is less than par. | ||

The list according to Blizzard is: Tarson, GoOdy, Naama, ThorZaIN, DemusliM, ClouD, KawaiiRice, Sounds, MarineKing, White-Ra, iNcontroL, HerO, Grubby, MC, HasuObs, NightEnD, ReaL, BlinG, Adelscott, Attero, Socke, NaNiwa, DIMAGA, DarkFoRcE, HayprO, Stephano, Ret, MoMaN, Destiny, Nerchio, viOLet plus a "mystery protoss player" who is JYP. This is the latest information which has been given. However White-Ra stated he is only 50% sure he is going. Also the Koreans might be playing GSL. NaNiwa has stated he will not go. No one really knows the official player list - not even Blizzard. Also EG announced on their website that JYP will be at HSC IV so he is the mystery protoss player. Only TaKe knows and he is MIA at the moment it seems like  | ||

I want someone well known like Idra, DRG, MVP There's no hoping. EG announced it on their website - it's pretty much confirmed. Also NO ONE in Code S is just average... From EG's website: "A former teammate of current EG member Lee “PuMa” Ho Joon at Team SCV Life, JYP recently secured a spot in Code-S for Season 1 of GSL 2012. Next week, he will suit up in the EG blue as he departs for Germany to compete at HomeStoryCup IV against some of toughest competition outside of Korea." http://myeg.net/team/team-eg-welcomes-jyp/ | ||

You can consider him great if you want, everyone is entitled to an opinion. | ||

Well, step one might be realizing he's a Korean player and looking in the Korean TLPD  SmartOther than his abysmal vT, he's pretty good, and he just made Code S. So, in my opinion, your TLPD skills are below average in regards to other TLers. | ||

You can consider him great if you want, everyone is entitled to an opinion. If you compare him to top8 professional players then of course he isnt even average.... but if you compare him to all sc2 progamers he is definitely better than the average sc2 pro | ||
