No, Line actually is terrible (from what we've seen). He's the team captain of ZeNEX, but he lost to Hyperdub last GSL so Jinro should have no trouble dispatching him. | ||

The bigger reason is gom shuts them down for anything else for a month to compete. they dont need to stay for a month though if they lose in the r64 or r32, nothing stopping them from packing their bag and leave | ||

They are talking about all the other tournaments they will miss and saying it is better to play in those. It is they same reason Idra left and everyone on SOTG said they would refuse a code A or S spot with expenses paid and thought not many others would accept either. didnt Tyler said that he will consider to go if it was the Code S spot ? I mean there's nothing to lose since you already got about $1400 just being in the round of 32 plus all flights and expenses are paid by GOM | ||

there are so few of them, and yet: Alicia vs MC Huk vs San Ace vs FD Squirtle vs MKP Killer vs Bomber wish they had a better system of seeding....MVP and Nestea have to take out super low point players but MC has to take out Alicia??!? (not saying i don't think he will win but I don't understand how they seeded them in a way that lands MVP and Nestea with two players from the bottom 15 players while MC gets paired with Code S Alicia =/). | ||

can see why the foreigners are not going, so long away where you may not win anything, no other tournaments to particapte over there when you can be at home and enter a number of different showmatches/weekly tournaments along with big tournaments like DH, MLG and many others... Not to mention if they are in NASL then they will be playing games with delay whichc an be fixed by rpacticing but when you can play at home and play with pretty much none. | ||

I've heard the rumor but I couldn't believe it, why won't you go, why won't you try. I guess there are numerous reasons and some are actually legit in my eyes, but it's still a bit stupid it's only the GSL players. Maybe we should just see this as the equivalent to the MLG National Championship I guess? If it will run in paralel with GSL would be good but probably gonna replace temporarily. Look, Jinro is 10th and HuK is 30th. That's amazing considering how stacked the field is. Every round grants a lot of money, if you don't believe in yourself you will never win shit anyway. There is a handful of foreigners that I could see going and doing more than ok to justify the time spent. It's a hot topic currently and I really think it's stupid not more foreigners jump on a plane, even if it's only for the experience and personal growth. See it as an investment in yourself. Then we have ballers like NaNiwa who openly admit to actually wanting to be the best and doesn't give a fuck about cash prizes (he does but it takes a second or later place). If it's gonna be like this, lets send people like NaNiwa over. I wanna watch him play, I wanna watch him dominate. I wanna watch him laugh when he does great in tournaments like this. | ||

I've heard MLG and Dreamhack as examples, but it just seems puzzling how GSL Koreans have no problem (or rather eager) to go abroad to attend these MLG's and Dreamhack's of world, yet foreigners can't if they are to stay in Korea? Because deciding on living in a country on the other end of the world is an easy decision to make, right? The koreans live there anyway, then go aborad to MLG for a weekend and come back home. As a foreigner it's a huge commitmend to go there and additionally you pretty much give up playing in foreign (especially European) online tournaments. Also plane tickets aren't handed out for free at the airport. Haven't read it yet but I guess this sums it up: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=224111 | ||

Haven't read it yet but I guess this sums it up: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=224111 How does living in Korea equal to giving up on playing online tournaments? lol I think the one thing most of people are forgetting is that GSL is not run by someone with a lot of money for his own pleasure or enjoyment, but rather it's a 100% business-oriented operation. If you are not a dedicated programmer, then you really don't belong in the GSL, period. Secondly, you don't just come into Korea (for GSL) planning on only living for one month and take off. You have to invest yourself for the long term, like Jinro, Huk, and Haypro did, and work hard to get that goal you desire. Sometimes it pays off (see Huk), sometimes it's still on-going (Jinro) while other times it just doesn't work out (Haypro). Investing yourself in the long term will allow you to enjoy other online tournaments while your main focus is on the GSL. | ||
