IdrA has said a few times EG are gonna get a house out in korea so people on the team can go there and practice together maybe he just wants the experience, he doesnt need to break ro64 on his first time | ||

If nothing else, increasing foreigner presence in korea is going to help greatly with the overall foreigner skill level - more communication about strategy, more practice, and more cohesion. | ||

Then after a while IdrA neither. NonKorean full time pros can, like Loner, Sen, and all those Chinese WC3 pros that are switching over. They live and breathe SC. | ||

his mechanics are not as good as he might want but he has the potential I think to come out of nowhere and do really good. If he does make it into the ro64 I think he has a good chance of going to even top 8. It's kind of weird but I think he juggled a lot of activities besides just playing a shit load of SC2 and if he really focuses down on the game (same with a lot of other EG players) he could do really good. EG could really be a powerhouse if they put in more hours and do settup a pro house. Inka, Machine, Incontrol in particular. | ||

How about you go watch some of his games before you judge how good he is by results. He's clearly a very good player right now, judging by his mechanics, gamesense, and build-orders from the last few tourneys, he's played very well, with some minor mistakes, and some bad luck like anyone can get. Better than a lot of the players who showed up in the last two GSL's RO32 I guarantee you. | ||

If you think he has any chance of making it to the top 8 in GSL 3, you haven't been following competitive SC2. EDIT: If Incontrol makes it to the top 8, Jibba can permanent ban me. | ||

He's underperformed tremendously in the lesser American tourneys and when put up with players like Tester, Nada, Fruitdealer, etc. he simply cannot compete. Good thing the chances of him running into all of those guys in one qualifying bracket are pretty slim! Seriously, it's well within his abilities as a player to qualify for this thing. Do you think every single Ro64 player in each season was flat out better than him? As long as he doesn't get a ridiculous bracket he'll have a decent shot at it. It's not like he's some random guy from the Ro128 at MLG Dallas, he went fairly deep in the tournament, has a lot of LAN experience, and is capable of knocking down top players. Is it likely that he'll qualify? Not really, but the brackets will play a much larger part than anything else. If he gets matched up against some monster like MVP then what is he gonna do? You can't really say with confidence that any foreign protoss would qualify in a situation like that. | ||

Fairly optimistic if you think there are only ~10 players better than him in all of Korea. He'd need a pretty good bracket since he will not have played against any of the players he'll face in qualifiers, if theres one player who he doesn't know their playstyle then thats goodbye for the whole situation. Look at the EG clan wars that have been going on recently. Face someone that you don't recognize their playstyle, even if they're "only" 2100 diamond and they will always have a chance at beating you, multiply that by the 6-7 opponents he will have to face, including potentially one previous RO16 or so player and he'd need to really get lucky. But believe it or not, Fruitdealer is NOT the only person in korea better than incontrol. He has a chance, but things will have to go his way, look at Jinro for example. He didn't even face the top top players, but with just an average bracket he ran into one bad series with a mothership rush that he didn't expect and know how to prepare for. Everyone will have a chance to qualify but the odds aren't in his favor. | ||

I wish him the best of luck, but people should never be overly optimistic. | ||

Best of luck to geoff, and even if he doesn't qualify I'm sure the practice environment will help him out in the long run! | ||
