Hope he will get a good impression of foreigners :D On July 05 2011 19:13 SolidMustard wrote: If this guy does top 4 at MLG it's really bad news for the level of foreigners... Being raped by guyz like Bomber, Losira, MMA or July no problem they're the best in Korea but if the average players like Choya get to dominate foreigners in the same way, it's just gonna be sad... What about Moon ? He's not considered one of the best but he had a nice run in Dreamhack ? Is that sad to ? | ||

 I guess since I have some claim to #1 fanboy for FXOpen at the moment, I have to admit I'm a bit of a Choya Anti-Fan. Now, let's do a quick reminder why this is: - In TV matches, he tends to do a lot of 1-base rushes that are either succeed or lose. This normally isn't a fan winner a lot of the time unless it's always at new timings/new versions. - He made it big during GSL Open Season 3 and met Jinro in Ro8. This was a not insignificant match for all of TL. As a budding SC2 fan at this point, it was a really big moment. Choya was on the other side of that. Also, he played Game 5 against Jinro on Desert Sands, and Jinro eked out a win in a razor's edge 20+ minute game. (Jinro got the only TvP win on that map in the entire GSL Season 3 there) So, there's a lot of antagonism there. - Then Choya stood between Huk and Code S. Inca has probably the world's best PvP, so we all knew it was going to be Huk vs Choya for the Code S spot. So, Choya got more unlucky, running into another TL player in GSL. So, there's a solid reason for some antagonism around these parts. It's not BitByBit hatefulness, but we spent two separate GSLs rooting against him. Still, what you're doing is really awesome. From what everyone has said about him, he's a really awesome guy. I wish him well @ MLG Anaheim. Choya actually seems like a strong LAN tournament player, given he qualified for 2 GSL Opens & Code A qualifier. So he might actually be stronger at MLG than in the GSL. It's not unheard of. Make sure to say Hi from everyone at TL for us! | ||

When he was in code S, he was not that impressive do you remember? The code A qualifier way more than "quite impressive." It's basically every Korean GM player that isn't in code A or code S, and is so much harder than open bracket. There's no chance of facing any platinum or diamond players at their first event. The open bracket is long but in no way is it considered hard. There isn't really a deep pool of talent in it. That's why you rarely see a no name player make it out, and you see new code A players all the time. | ||

He won't. He's good, but getting out of the Open brackets could be really rough for him, it's going to depend who he draws in rounds 5 & 6. Then if he makes it to the group stages, I don't think he's winning any of the groups. He'll likely place above 15th, but MLG can be brutal if you don't make it to the Pool play. P.S. Does FXO_Slog know *everyone* in Korea? Seems like when any progamer in question comes up, Slog knows them. He's like a Human Contacts List or something, lol. | ||
