This is huge for the US, but it's making me nervous about the GOM/foreign relations a bit.

And Artosis. :/

Damn, IdrA was one of the main reasons I kept buying the premium GSL tickets, enjoyed his matches a lot, my favorite player. He knows himself best of course. He's been doing good in GSL, now I'll be following him on the NA/EU tournaments. I'll still follow GSL, but maybe we'll get a bigger foreign scene soon where IdrA will dominate more (incontrol announcement?). :D

bout time code A pays piss poor so they are probably just losing money keeping him there. i think overall that this change for idra will be the best, it will give him some room to grow as a player. I am looking forward to seeing him return to the GSL in a year or so.

This is actually a smart move, he will be able to participate in the NASL, MLG, UG and DH/DH Winter now.

I hope a lot of Europeans come to the US for the nasl or whatever the secret team league is. Who knows, maybe even some Koreans in Code A or great players not in gsl, like Bomber, will come to the US.

I blame Artosis.

I'm sure it will be nice for him to see his family and personal friends. With so many big tourneys coming up can't say I blame him. I gotta admit, I'd love to see him go back to Terran (like he was in BW) and dominate sc2!

Nice classy post Junkka.

It'll be interesting to see how the foreign sc2 scene developes - i wonder if this will be worthwhile.

damn, really sucks that he's leaving where the 99th percentile in terms of sc2 skill is, but hopefully this nasl shit is big enough for him to justify it

he's going to absolutely dominate everyone over here tho, should be fun to watch

My question about the decision is with GSL starting next week...are there really any tournaments in the next 2-3 weeks that are worthy of leaving GSL for? I mean, wouldn't it in theory be more financially sound to finish this GSL, win some money, THEN return to NA instead of waiting another month for GSL 5?


I have the same question.

Btw, if Idra withdraw from GSL this month(i.e. GSL5), theoretically, he will be code A in GSL 6. And if he doesn't show up again in GSL6 he will be completely out of GSL.


GSL has 4 reserved slots in Code A for foreigners

if Idra ever decides to come back to Korea for GSL, he is very likely going to be given one of those slots. it doesn't matter what GSL number it is as long as Idra is still a top foreigner.



yeah. you are right.

The key point is that, even if there are some, ASL(American Starcraft League..) for example, with similar amount of prize money as GSL, I still think GSL is way better since there are more top players in Korea than any other place (or more than the rest of the world combined).
We are dusts in the vast cosmic arena. Need to make the most out of life when we still have it.

This may really be a bad signal for the future of SC2 in Korea, on Sotg IdrA admitted that Star2 hasn't taken off much in Korea and having one of the 2 most successful foreigners leave is a step backwards. With TL, Torch, Spades, etc the trend was for foreigners to move East and to me having IdrA leave almost completely reverses this. If other foreigners such as TL and the foreigner house players leave, foreigner interest will wane and I'm pretty unsure about the future of Starcraft 2 in Korea.

Of course I'm just being chicken little here and forecasting impending doom, I'm sure that even without Korea Starcraft 2 will do fine.

Wow this is huge. Idra probably gonna be the favorite here unless Jinro follows suit. Hopefully we get some really good games and not idra just rolling over the competition.

This is actually sad, I was hoping the GSL would consolidate into being the top league of all players around the world... Idra leaving means and the soon to be announced big tournament means that a lot of top players are going to be split around the world.... meaning less overall high level games.

Surely it is in the best interest of the game's competitive scene for all of these competitions to talk to each other (GSL,MLG,IEM, Dreamhack, NASL), rather than run things completely separately from each other.

Whats with all the doomsayers? Wtf...one guy left the GSL to make more money (hopefully) elswhere.We have shitloads of foreigners to root for!
Also Idra coming to the US and a possible NA sc league is fkin awesome for e-sports! More people watching NASL = more people watching GSL. They are not mutually exclusive. I actually like that pro players are splitting across the world. If all the pros would go to GSL that would suck major ballz imo. You cant have 50 pros fighting for the same 80k ... Maybe get them all together once a year in a tournament but not every month in the same tournament, same place, same prize money, same format.
60 bucks? But it has Kerrigans Boobs in three god damn dimensions. Do you know how long i have waited for this?

Damn was hoping for another tournament to fill Idra's place. Was hoping Leenock would make it back in his place.

Have a feeling he might die to slayers Yughio, given hes still in school he might have trouble getting back in if hes knocked out of Code A.
