good news. During the last weeks we heard way too many "progamers" talk about how it is not "worth" to go to korea. Glad to see that at least some think different. Nani and Thorre, I hope you enjoy your trip to Korea and learn something for your game and for life. Play with the best, learn from the best, aim for the best! GL~~

Awesome! 2 players with great work ethic. I'm super interested to see how much they can improve in a Korean Style Training environment. (I'm expecting/hoping they will be training in/with the WeMadeFox house/crew and not exclusively with the GOM foreigner house residents only).

This is mostly for experience... I mean playing 1 month tournament for $1500. Priceless.

It is just my opinion, but I think that prize range in CODE S is just ridiculous... 40$k difference between 1st and 2nd?

It should be:
Code A:
1st: $10.000
2nd: $5.000
3rd: $2.500

Code S:
1st: $40.000
2nd: $20.000
3rd: $10.000

Simple.

Code A isn't a month long anymore. When will people learn this?

Great idea! Can't finish in the Code S top 3? Just drop down to Code A and win $10,000! Justice and logic shall reign supreme. Godspeed. Faram.

EDIT: To actually contribute to the thread, it's definitely awesome to see Naniwa and Thorzain trying out the Code A. Let's hope they have some time to acclimate themselves to Korean playing style.

YEA MAN!!!! Because winning Code A is so EASY! FREE 10K GODSPEED!!!!!!

Really good news....cant help but wonder who's going to be the third player and if he also is going to play for WMF (probably if its not sheth) but so far FOX has a good line up and I didnt even know they were going to play in the GSTL tho its somewhat expected since having FXO there would mean that there were uneven numbers in teams.

Glad to see this deal from MLG and GSL doing good and Im now unsure about who to root for...WMF or SlayerS? Hum hope they end up in different groups or something so I can cheer for both

(yeah I havent read the format and schedule yet, read this one first

)

GL to both in both codeA and TL

can't wait for GSL august now!!! i thought the league exchange program sounded like a good idea, but now actually hearing that (those two particular) players are going to be in code A... SICK!

Good luck to Thorzain and naniwa. I hope they do well. Although I think they will, they're both crazy talented.
