EPTProof? I understand they are sponsored, but that is not the same as having a salary.

Yup 1 netizen comment clearly shows the public opinion of kespa. You don't read comments often do you? | ||

Certainly not any Korean team. Why wouldn't any Korean team take him? He's been playing with 2 different Korean pro teams for several years. If anything, he is the most likely foreign candidate to be picked up by a Korean team. No one gives a shit about BM. Idra doesn't even speak the language. | ||

Having a reputation for raging and being ill-mannered really doesn't help when looking for someone that's willing to give you money to represent them. It's a PR issue and liability. This isn't to say that nobody will overlook this, but to say that it doesn't factor in or matter at all, is probably inaccurate. | ||

However, to say a Korean team won't take him because he is BM, when he has in fact been playing on one for several years, is just ridiculous. | ||

Because Korean teams in general prefer Korean players? Because Idra seems to have no interest in learning Korean or having extended interaction with Korean teammates and would probably prefer English speaking teammates/team? Because we know how much of a good predictor you are (ex. Google Wave)? | ||

It'll be like when Goku went to go train with King Kai and came back and knew the Kaioken and owned everybody. But then there will be someone like Vegeta that will own him back. And he will need help from his friends to beat him and then since Goku gets stronger when he loses he will be better. Then he will go to another planet training in 100x gravity so then he comes and is super ownage like Goku was and then there will be someone like Frieza that owns him untill he rages and turns into a super saiyan. Then cell comes and then he gets owned and asks his kid to help him out to kill cell so the person that IdrA trained will kill Cell. Then Buu will come and seem to be unstoppable and will make Vegeta super ownage but Goku will hide SS3 from him and then will fuse with him to kill Buu. Then will use a spirit bomb to own Buu. And then some shit happens where he becomes a kid again but he's in the future. I don't even understad that shit. Do you mean practicing with pros as in SC2 pros? Because he has been practicing with pros for 5+ years. | ||

Because we know how much of a good predictor you are (ex. Google Wave)? You do know he was on a Korean team right? Maybe they do prefer Korean players, that may or may not be true. It is still a silly argument given his history there. You change your argument on the second point. You said that a Korean team "certainly" won't take him, context suggests rejection by team, not what is or isn't Idra's preference. I don't know what you're talking about with the google wave thing. I would've liked to see it get used because it was great program and I probably said something on here about it at some point I guess. Either way, my thoughts on networking trends shouldn't matter here. Try and stay on topic. | ||

Pretty sure he's tried to learn korean and practicing 10 hours a day while learning a whole new language isnt easy or very feasible. | ||

It's good for their image if Korean teams take in a foreigner (white people are loved in Korea) and Idra IS learning Korean. And I'm Korean, hence my word > yours. | ||
