Sounds like hes doing it purely out of sport/competitive spirit/interest for the game. I don't know how competitive he can be while still being a full-time (???) poker player. Then again, near the end of his career ElkY wasn't really practicing starcraft, but poker in his practice time.

Elky is just disorganised person. Actually his natural disorder allows all his other great qualities to shine even more !

Kiwikaki was a near fulltime poker player throughout most of the Beta until launch. It's possible

That's nice if he comes back, however i think he will be destroyed by Adel or SarenS.
I will cheer for him though :3

Hahaha I'm excited about this. I always wanted to see the poker guys like Rekrul and Elky come back and show us some of their SC2 skills, and it seems I may very well get my way given Rekrul's recent posts and now this. Someone better make the VOD's/stream available when this tournament hits.

Was about to post about this as I was just so happy to hear about and wanted to share my happiness with you guys.
I am actually loving the fact he is obviously not coming for money but insist on the fact that he is not here for the show, but to do his best.

Elky is sick, he can succeed in whatever he wants to do because he's such a hardworker.

His new face makes me think of the clubbing friend of Pegg in Spaced >.<
