He can't stay a few more weeks? Whats the big hurry to make it to the US? Hell, why couldn't he just can't fly to Korea to play in the GSL. The only thing I can think of is that he's homesick/sick of Korea, and this is a really good chance for him to come home. | ||

I don't think he has too many quality practice partners with whom to practice those maps. On the other hand the players on Korean teams / Liquid do. I don't know how much that factored into his decision, but to me it has always been a mystery why he would join EG *and* stay in Korea. I guess he expected a team house there at some point, and now it seems that wont happen. | ||

Seriously though, as I said in the other thread - best of luck to Idra! This NASL.tv thing must be big, because I don't doubt that it's partly responsible for pulling Idra back to the USA. | ||

He's not the type to abandon because of homesickness all of the sudden. He stuck it out in Korea this long, and it's become his home. I believe the only explanation is that something big is about to go down over here. | ||

He has not made more money, nor gotten further in GSL than Jinro, and he has lost to Jinro in their head to heads. I'd say there are plenty of other contenders to the "most successful foreign player" as well, SjoW and White-Ra, among others, that have placed well in/won lots of tournaments. | ||

 IdrA, or EG as a whole would know a bunch load of shit that you and I wouldn't.Prize pool for NASL is going to be "comparable" to MLG masters and the GSL. IdrA will.....1. Be able to play in more clan games, to support EG more 2. Be able to cuddle his mummy goodnight. 3. Be able to be HOME. 4. Be able to compete in MORE competitions. Theres a decent sized tourney on each week. There is practically no "down time." 5. Have less competition for the big bucks. IdrA has contenders in NA. TO say otherwise is plain stupid, however I think the pool is less shallow in NA right now.6. Have team mates to practice with. 7. Bid time until zerg gets buffed....?? Makes Sense to me.  FXOmOOnGLaDe Is my only foreign zerg now, with or without IdrA.... TL is trolling me. I realize IdrA is zerg now.... :S | ||

Based on waht? Jinro had better placement in GSL two times in a row. And he prolly won more money aswell. People like SjoW and White-Ra and MorroW also had some success. 3. What does that have to do with anything. You stop following a particular sports league because some of the players dont play like you want them too? Or even the manager for your team doesnt do waht YOU wnat? | ||
