yeah I agree he should atleast finish this season's GSL, or rather he can't because the GSL duration collides with the alleged NASL schedule?

Less foreigners means this might be a huge blow to the sc2 community in s.korea, seeing how BW is still the stronghold

Why would IdrA stay in Korea just to lose to VR/Coloss in GSL? I totally agree with his choice.


theres a thread for that, keep it there.

I think his choice must be more beneficial than to potentially win big big money.
I always though korea was overrated, the NA/EU scene is by far so much better (imo)

Goodluck in NA idra!

I seriously think IdrAs style is going to get completely and utterly crushed by aggressive American/European players, especially Terrans.


From what I understand it is the Koreans that are the most aggressive and with all the time Greg spent on the Korean ladder he's going to have more than enough experience with aggressive or cheesy builds. His mechanics are as good if not better than any EU/NA player so I don't think he's going to have any problems whatsoever.

As far as his choice to leave Korea goes I back him one hundred percent. I feel that Starcraft2 is going to be Globally HUGE and I don't feel that being caught up in the GSL is right for him. considering that EG will support him in whatever he wants to do.

Think he went back for the NASL(North American Star League). Hope he does well there!

idra has been a progamer in Korea for a very long time, I'm sure he misses his country and all his friends back home. And with the explosion of SC2 in NA/EU Korea is no longer the place to be for starcraft.

Nah, I think that would be impossible. Even if rumors about NASL turn out to be true, you can't have a really big tournament on such short notice. It would need several month between the announcement and the beginning.

I think its good news. He's a high profile players so him coming back to NA helps push the scene in the NA. He'll be on the NA ladder. Tournaments will probably get bigger in the NA. Why play in Korea when he can dominate the Western scene as the korean gsl is so competetive.

I'm sensing idrA just don't really want to admit that he's homesick as well. Being a progamer for all those years in a foreign country takes a huge toll. Even though Greg isn't my favorite player, I still have nothing but respect to his skills and professionalism. Here's to a brighter future Greg!

I'm sure this is true. He never learned Korean either, which makes living there kind of rough at times I'm sure, even if he spends a substantial amount of time training.

Wishing Idra all the best.

I wish his spot could be given to someone. If he's not replaced, we'll be missing out on not just his games from his group, but also the up/down matches. I'm guessing the 1st place winner of code A will get to pick Idra and hence get into code S for sure.

Well Korea has one tournament that's very competitive... Probably more practical to have US as your base as of right now... I feel sorry for the other guys in Korea who loses a good friend, I also assume the EG prohouse has been canceled?

Anyways, GSL will be great regardless and if the US scene gets stronger as well it will only be awesome
