![[image loading]](http://i55.tinypic.com/1zqr59c.jpg) The scene of the announcement! From left to right: djWHEAT, iNcontrol, Inka, Sir Scoots the owner of EG (?) I love iNcontrol to death, both as a player and person, but does he really stand a chance at even qualifying? Or perhaps is he just going there for kicks? Or maybe, just maybe he is trolling us all very hard. Alternatively, he may be very drunk. + Show Spoiler + On a serious note, iNcontrol fighting! I'll wake up at 4 AM just for you <3 | ||

On a more serious note he might make the Ro64, there's been some pretty poor play in that round in the 1st 2 GSLs and inc isn't TERRIBLE. | ||

ROFL I posted this in the SOTG thread. I remember that one podcast where iNcontroL commented that if he does qualify and performs well in a GSL, he wants to break the stereotypical Korean/Asian answers to interviews. If they ask him what he will do with the money he responded "airplanes and cars". And if the interviewer ask what about his parents, iNcontroL replied, "Oh, they have their own money". LOOOL Kiwikaki at GSL 3 qualifiers? Sick. I'm guessing he must have saved up a good amount of money since Root-Gaming doesn't have big name sponsors like other teams. | ||

TLO will leave for Germany after returning to Korea from MLG Dallas and from his home town of Leipzig will represent Liquid at both continental and international events. Although a move that may come as a surprise to many, TLO's change of residence is a personal decision and one that the team stands behind. | ||

As I said before the korean scene isn't very forgiving to PROTOSS, they tend to struggle in GSL, and have had diminishing representation in the later rounds. If Tester, Genius, Sangho, oGsInca have trouble, how do you think it's going to be for a player like incontrol? | ||

The top three had really tough brackets( Tester, ogsMC, and that guy who won Blizzcon who's name I forgot), all lost relatively quickly with Tester not eve qualifying. | ||

People can look for any type of argument they want, but the bottom line is in s1 there were 3 protoss in the ro8, zero advanced. In s2 there were 3 protoss in the ro16, 1 advanced to the ro8, and then did not advance any further. It's ok to see if people got unlucky or had bad showings or what not, but you shouldn't disregard the fact that the koreans may just be better at dealing with protoss and exploiting whatever weaknesses it may have. | ||

Totally. But I think Protoss is also one of the most closed off races. You rarely see deviance from gateway units>Robo units> Templar units. So dealing with them becomes significantly easier as you can effectively blind counter them. | ||

And Fruitdealer, Foxer, Clide, Rainbow, and Tester could all end up in the same bracket, giving a lot of other people 'free' tickets into the tournament. Stop predicting who will and won't make GSL. | ||

Didn't you understand from that interview, sounds like Geoff is going out of his own pocket this time. If EG wanted to send the team, they'd probably send Axslav, Machine, LZ as well. And by the way that scoots seemed to be responding to geoff it seemed like they were obviously going to help him have a place to stay (tasteless/idra) but I don't think this is out of EG's money. Not to mention EG is insanely rich, they're like the 2nd richest foreign esports team, if sponsors are willing to drop the bucks why not expand. My opinion is iNcontroL will have a tough time making it out of his GSL qualifier bracket if he gets anyone average or good. EG players have had tough times making it out of 128, 256, 512 man tournaments that are mostly full of average to bad players, and if he's thrown into GSL where he doesn't know ANY opponents, let alone if they're good or bad, or what their playstyles are or builds, I just find it very hard to see him in RO64 without a cake bracket.

I agree, Lz's macro hits more road bumps than any other EG player, that said he is smart about creative builds and smart adapting, and his 3rd place finish at the vT open is more than any other EG player can put their hands on except Axslav who got 1st place in that same open (Socke got 2nd place), or Machine who got 6th plcae at MLG today and got top 4 at one of the ESL qualifiers obviously. iNcontroL hasn't really done any tournaments at all, which is probably out of his own option, but just from watching in-house practices, Axslav and Lz are definitely the two strongest, prior to the most recent patch. Where Strifecro and Machine started doing better (albeit they don't play as many in-houses as they used to). | ||

I think to do decently in GSL 3, you're going to need to be either extremely, extremely lucky, or be something special of a player. iNcontrol is a pro, and a very good player...but as far as elite SC2 goes, I don't think he's strong enough. | ||

Just take a look at Jinro who didnt qualify 2 times. Hes said to be a monster in practice with a remarkable variety in his gameplay. Or Tester, who is one of the most solid macro Protosses and did exceptional in gsl 1, but didnt qualify for gsl 2. There is actually a huge list of very good players (TOP etc etc) that didnt qualify. But I think he has a good chance if he can adapt to the korean style progaming environment. | ||

But still nice that we have so many known players trying to qualify for the GSL. But even if they qualify it'll be very hard for them to get ro8 and get S code. Only Idra if he manages to qualify again would have the highest chance of obtaining S code. Anyone else that qualifies is probably going to be A code. | ||

However, I feel that the best hopes for foreigners lie in the people consistently coming top 8 in our tornaments - and he isnt quite there yet based on his actual results. Still, if he puts in the practice and obviously has great experience of LAN environments I see no reason he cannot become good enough to at least qualify. He does need to improve a fair bit, I feel, having watched the replays of MLg events I dont think you can say he was unlucky or cheated to not finish higher there. But regardless of that, so what..... All props to him and EG for getting players out there...it is their money and his time/life, and they already have IdrA out there, so its not like he is depriving any better players the chance of entering - therefore all the best luck! | ||

Making GSL stand for its name and make it as "Global" as possible will make it spread its horizons towards different types of viewers. Having more North American players showing up there reeforcing the group that already tried GSL 1 and GSL 2 will be good for us all, non-Koreans, aswell as for the Korean fans that always had a thing for those so called "exoctic" players playing there. Goos luck for iNcontrol and all the others attempting to get into the RO64 for GSL 3 | ||

I like iNcontroL as much as the next guy, but without a top 10 in any MLG, I don't know how successful he's going to be over in Korea. IdrA said it best I think when he mentioned how the practice mentality is different for Koreans and foreigners. The Koreans can afford to practice 10 hours a day because Starcraft is literally all they do for a living. The foreigners on the other hand have to work jobs to support themselves meaning that they can only practice for 4-5 hours a day. That's a big disadvantage. | ||

Every qualifier has gotten harder so far according to Rekul and I think artosis. So getting into #1 was alot easier then getting into #2 and #3 is probably going to be pretty hard. There will still be some bad games in the RO64 but not as bad as before. | ||

The qualifying process seems to involve a fair bit of luck. Any solid player has a chance | ||

now, im sure it's harder to qualify now than it was then but I think it's entirely possible he will make it. I give him 33% odds. With serious practice, 50-75% odds. Anyways I am happy to see this many foreigners going anyways. | ||

Then after a while IdrA neither. Actually, I'm going to disagree with that. The only real advantage Koreans had in BW was their training houses where the entire team lives, talks, and breathes SC all day every day. Now that Foreign pro's are starting to gather over in Korea, they'll have the same environment where everyone can grow together. In BW, foreign pro's more or less practiced alone and didn't have much discussion off line. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 think it's pretty commendable that he's going for it. And it gives him a chance to play on the Korean ladder and experience their style of tournament play. They're tournaments seem to favour more mindgames, all-in's and high-risk, high-reward play in general. Part of the reason why I think Koreans have a slight edge is that they're not afraid to muck-up the game and win ugly. | ||

The thing I don't like about this argument is that it ignores the fact that no one over there has come up against his play-style either, and while he may be a big enough name stateside that you can prepare something special for him in a clanwar, I doubt any koreans will be downloading incontrol replays. I think it's far more likely that a foreigner will study the korean play-styles before the tournament than it is that koreans will be preparing in case they run across a notable foreigner. I wouldn't say that this dynamic is a big enough advantage that he can ride it to a qualifying spot, but I don't think it will work against him. | ||

We should all probably try to encourage him if anything. It isn't really difficult to go through this chain of thoughts: 1) do I have something nasty and snarky to say about Incontrol? --Yes --> walk away from keyboard --No --> write something nice! Seriously. What is saying something negative really doing for you. Do you want everyone to know that you have been "following" the SC2 competitive scene, and that you're a super smart SC2 fan who realizes Inc will have a tough time in Korea? Well everyone has a tough time in Korea so you're not really enlightening anyone at all. Go post somewhere where you aren't tearing someone down who has a love for SC2. What happened to this being a 'community'? | ||

Clearly koreans are the best in the world and they can aquire way bigger sponsorship there then anywhere else. It would be stupid for the GSL to be anywhere but in Korea. I guess its cool that he is going over, but I doubt he will even qualify. The skill level between this GSL and season 1 was huge. I imagine for GSL3 it will be even larger.

Plus you have to expect a bunch of 2k diamond koreans to join since its local for them. 2k diamonds, korean or not, are not easy by any means. They can micro and macro just as well.

Will train for a few days (qualifier is on monday) with idra/artosis/korean ladder. If I qualify I will stay until I am eliminated. If I don't qualify I will spend a day or two with my brothers and hang out in SC2 paradise train up a bit and maybe root idra on or w/e. I am excited to be in a place in my life where this is feasible. I have the means, I have the ability and I am motivated. Whether you think I am skilled enough or not should be irrelevant. A foreigner traveling to korea to try and qualify for a tourney should be a time of celebration and excitement. I could lose or I could win but none of you know any better. So why be negative? Wish me luck or don't But I am going to have fun and work hard. When EG moves to korea I will have this under my belt to be that much more prepared to turn the Korea experience into something amazing. | ||

Are you actually gonna go over there and practice with certain people? Or are you just staying in a hotel/practing on ladder in a pc-bang or so untill you actually have to play the qualifiers? And if I have to be honest, I think a lot of it is gonna come down to the brackets, if you get a easier bracket I can see you qualifying, but if you get unlucky and get a bracket with some very good players (like people that have played in the gsl in the past and gotten far) I see it very hard. Anyway, I really do hope that you qualify, so I wish you best of luck ^^ | ||

I'm sad that the firebear did not make it pass qualifiers ='[, it woulda been so hilarious to see if the koreans would get intimidated by his hulk-like appearance. | ||

He didn't qualify, but no one can really hold it against him as he had to face Moon last round and even then took it to 2-1. | ||
