As for Fenix - I haven't been a huge fan of his play style but I really have to respect anyone who is willing to drop everything to move to Korea just for a shot to improve his game. He had a nice showing at MLG so I hope he continues the good results. | ||

GL all! Huk has shown that it's the nurture not the nature that gets the impressive korean results, I believe we can have more strong non-koreans on the korean scene! | ||

All depends who they play and how they handle the pressure on the booth. There's some very scary players lurking around Code A/B, if Dreamhack and MLG taught us anything it's never bet on a foreigner to beat a Korean. | ||

And isn't injecting invites into a qualification tourney a bit odd? On the other hand - foreigners in GSL squeeeeee It might make some players mad but the Western market for SC2 is looking bigger then Korea at the moment. I think because of this they don't really care if it upsets the players. | ||

IE should we add him to Fantasy GSTL? edit: yes he will ok adding now do you know if Huk and jinro are competing for oGs, because gom's list did not have them and i need to know if it was a waste putting huk as my captain. But since fenix is going to be on FU, i think this team will do even better than I thought. It is going to be epic watching that team  | ||

Fenix ranked 11th at MLG Columbus afaik... most of the Koreans in the code A qualifier can probably rank higher than that. How is this fair to people like Donraegu, Ganzi, Line, TheSTC, etc etc, whom all are deserving of at least a Code A spot, but because of the brutal qualifier, didn't get through? Because GOM is doing this from a marketing standpoint rather than a "let's get the best players" view. They want foreigners. By your argument, Huk shouldn't have ever made it to GSL in his Code A debut. He was an invite. He got knocked out of the qualifiers when he tried during the open seasons. GOM wants to expand to the foreign scene cause its about money, not about talent EDIT--- not saying a player like Fenix or Huk don't deserve it, because as we see, Huk made it to code S, but this isn't the first time GOM has seeded foreign players who probably wouldn't have made it through the qualifiers. Moonglade, ret, and haypro never won a code A match and didn't have to qualify. In a perfect world where GSL and GOM had infinite money and didn't have to worry about an audience they could have the best players always with epic finals and such, but this is real life :/ On a lighter note, GL to Fenix, Sheth, Nani, and Thorzain in the upcoming GSLs :D! | ||
