(without cheesing)" Thank you for your measured, logical explanation of why you believe mOOnGLaDe will be successful in the GSL. Seriously, if your main argument is a vague and baseless attack on the analytical skills of others, find something else to say. Show some goddamn reasoning, don't just call the other side idiots and call it a day. Most people aren't doubting mOOnGLaDe because they think he's a bad player. They're doubting him because other excellent players like HayprO, TorcH, KiWiKaKi iNcontrol, and arguably even Ret, have failed to achieve any significant success in the GSL. It's a really tough competition, and while Glade dominates SEA, he's had little direct competition with players from the rest of the world. He did defeat Loner and hold his own in a series against HuK, so I'm hopeful. Still, there's definitely cause to be unsure about how successful he'll be, so please don't just insult us all and assume we'll change our minds immediately. I mean, your only point (other than calling your opponents idiots) is that we only judge players based on how much they win, and not how well they play. mOONGLaDe has been overwhelmingly successful in most of the tournaments he's entered, so that's exactly the opposite of an accurate criticism. People know that he's won a lot at home, they're just unsure of how he'll do against tougher competition in Korea. | ||

I think the idea is to make sure they have passports and perhaps sign a contract to agree to show up. I thought actually that the whole point of the invitations was to make it less risky to participate in GSL as a foreigner, not just to inject foreigners into Code A. I feel that their picks are fine since they are all good foreign players, but in the future I'd prefer it if they extended the invitation to people who wouldn't necessarily risk trying to qualify for Code A, but would come if they could guaranteed participate. | ||

It's been months since John announced there would be invites, that's a lot of time for a talks with the players. Give them on or two weeks to give a definite answer, if things look uncertain at the preliminaries day, give the spot to the highest ranked foreigner(like they did now). It can't be that hard. GOM/John never said anything(afaik) about that the players need to live in Korea before getting an invite, it's of course silly. edit: Just think what would have happened today if say Haypro hadn't been there. Honestly, Artosis would probably be next in line for an invite. Do you realize how stupid that would have been? | ||

And what is the point also, with that people can choose who they can fight against? And this whole concept of code A and code S? What the hell kind of tournament GSL is? this is just ridicilous Real tournament would not be about club of elitists who dont need to play their way to up. Real tournament would be tournament, where people need to actually PLAY their all the way from bottom to up. Various sports use the same concepts....it ain't just a korean starcraft thing. | ||

I think if top level players want a seed, they should go to Korea and commit. <EDIT: Even the best players need time to adapt to the culture/system there> Also, moonglade should change his ID to a non-warcraft name. | ||

While this may be fine to some people, for many it is not an option. Maybe you will see good players go for a month or two as a vacation/experience type thing, but very few will pull an Idra, dedicating their lives to playing Starcraft and living in korea. The very definition of being a PROfessional starcraft player is dedicating full time to playing starcraft. If you're not willing to do it, then don't turn pro. Just do it as a hobbie. | ||

Yea but i doubt he'll cast like he did back in the day when he was solo. But if we're gonna bring up GOM, then Tasteless and SDM would be the best combo. Too bad hes retired though | ||

Just do it as a hobbie. they just dont want to do it in korea sjow for example i think would like to go to korea but he wants to play europe tournaments too (IEM being often mentioned on his stream). so unless his team is willing to pay for his ticket/hotel/whatever back and forth from europe/korea, he has to pick one. there was a discussion on LO3 today about why would u want to go to korea and possibly never win and have no income because the talent pool there is so high and there really isn't any weekly tournaments running. NA/europe always have tournaments running every weekend, you can stay in europe/NA, be comfortable and probably make more than u would moving to korea. if money isn't an issue to the players, im sure they'd like to go to korea. | ||
