Cause that'd be the natural thought process if this was BW. Then I remembered, this isn't BW. And we actually should be really happy about this. The aim of all this is to make the foreign e-sport scene so big that.. well.. that we'd stop refereing to it as the "foreign scene". Great! The first great step towards creating something comparable to the GSL over here. Who knows, with big tournaments like the TSL coming up, maybe we'll have your own GSL soon. | ||

Zenio vs Byun -> winner advances Loser will have to beat Clide twice (with Clide having to win once) to advance. I'm also a bit sad with this announcement, although the NASL is something to look forward to. Maybe one day there can be a Champions League type format with the best from the leagues competing. | ||

For myself, I'm sad. He was "our guy" in Korea since the start. Now he's another NA progamer. Still a great one. Of course. And I hope he tears through the tournament scene. But it's the end of an era. glgl, IdrA! | ||

Outside of korea he will win a lot of tourneys and make much more money. Sure all the other leagues will not be considered as difficult or competitive as GSL but at the end of the day Idra is a professional player looking for making money. I expect the other non koreans to follow his footstep. | ||

for all the matches which Greg is supposed to play, the opponents will get a free win. So how is this different from when Idra was in korea? Just kidding- can't wait to see Idra demolish some nerds in the US. | ||

Tastosis is our English-speaking bridge to the entire Korean scene, and it would be infinitely more difficult for the Korean scene to get more recognition in the West without them. | ||

My question: If he returns to Korea in order to participate in the GSL, he has to go through the entire qualification process, right? | ||

My question: If he returns to Korea in order to participate in the GSL, he has to go through the entire qualification process, right? It would be a bit odd if any player could just "freeze" their status, take a year break and then just go "hey Im back, can I just have my spot again in the main code s tourney?". | ||

I think this is sort of sad, idra will dominate the western scene That is not true at all, you give way too little credit to the western scene, last MLG Idra lost plenty of games and did not go far in the tournament. 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. | ||
