The pieces are slowly falling into place now. I'm starting to think EG actually is a giant corporation of secret underground evil geniuses plotting to dominate and "westernize" the Korean-esque Starcraft Esports scene. | ||

South korea realy needs more small/medium sized tournaments. The "only one, but huge tournament"-situation wont work for long. | ||

So I feel that Idra will lose some of the spotlight he currently is in. But then again, if playing in the US will grant him more money, coupled with the fact that he is back home and not among strangers I can see why he made that decision. | ||

If Ret, Huk and Haypro cant make in into code S, it will be a tough time for GOM in terms of non korean viewership. South korea realy needs more small/medium sized tournaments. The "only one, but huge tournament"-situation wont work for long. I dunno about other people, but the GSTL was the most entertaining starcraft 2 i have ever watched and that had exactly 0 foreigners. Jinro is the fucking man but i dont really care for IdrA one way or the other. | ||

He will undoubtly be one of the big favorites to win tournaments, but he wont simply go undefeated and steamroll everyone. Especially not at a EU event where competition is stiff. He looked far happier being at MLG with his team, talking to them and just being himself than he does in Korea, at least just by looking at his face. When he plays in GSL he looks like someone killed his puppy dog. So i am sure the social aspect + chances at winning money = good reason to go back home for a while. I'll just go out on a limb and assume the last MLG was several patches ago, and i presume he lost matches primarily against stuff like 5 rax reaper. Having seen QXC win online tournaments with 0 losses and then get 3-0'ed by idra, demuslim in IEM europe finals, recent dimaga vs namaa matches etc - i stand by my statment, GSL is miles ahead of anything the other scenes have to offer (except now that idra returns). | ||

That's why he picked Clide for group B, to fuck him over in the Ro16 for some epic trolling. The fact clide picked Zenio made it 5x better. Idra - "MVP / MC vs Zenio/Clide, HAVE FUN KOREAN BROS, IM OUT OF HERE." | ||
