I'm not really a big fan of choyafou but he has made it though the code a qualifiers so I'm sure he will do well in the open brackets of MLG. If not, it will definitely give him an idea of how the foreign scene run things and a good experience overall.

This is probably the only move from FXO that i have completely not understood. Calling Choya a top class player just seems wrong. Yes he is a good coach. But he will get absolutely stomped @ mlg and he should. If korea's worst beats our best then were doing a lot of things wrong. gl to him and FXO.

My other thought is that FXO did want another coach for the Mental part of the game. If they brought a long choya for coaching and expertise then this would make complete sense too me.

You are totally misinterpreting the reasons behind FXO sending Choya despite it being clearly states. Also, while I am sure FXO wants Choya to do well, how he performs is in some ways irrelevant to the spirit behind the move.

Sad thing is, there will only be a couple foreigners better than him.

Virtuoso of the Void Ray and some decent 2 base allins. He's super predictable, yet still manages to make it through code a qualifiers.

That's pretty cool. Much respect to FXO for everything they're doing. It's really hard not to like you guys by now. You make all the right moves.

While I'm not familiar with Choya (I tend to focus more on foreign players/tournaments), I think this is pretty awesome, and I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for him in the open bracket now. Will be interesting to see how he does.

Wow that's a classy move, almost every player in Korea seems to be thanking Choya for helping them with their preparation. Remember that Choya is a playing coach , who helps numerous team and yet he still manages to get some decent results ( qualyfying through the code A qualifiers is already a good results in itself).

I foresee these events.

- FXOboss brings choya to US
- Choya feels grateful
- 1 week later, Choya orders his entire FOU team to practice with FXO

- ????

- 1 month passed. FXO TOTAL BALLERS.

Say whatever you want about Choya, what Boss is doing here is awesome. It's helping the scene in general, having Koreans at foreign tournaments is a good thing, this is also good for fOu as a whole as their coach is going to be exposed to the foreign world and hopefully learn something cool while he's here.

Not only that, but he is building a bridge between foreigners and Koreans and even more so he is repaying a friend for his effort.

Boss FTW!!!!

he had pretty uninspiring play last time i saw him but that was like back in season 3. apparently a good guy in person though, I think he will make it through the open bracket and be a really tough match up for any top pros he runs into.
