Im curious as to what their best performances at big-ish LANs have been? Have they had any real success? Im not trying to be antagonistic but im struggling to understand this HwangSin guys move unless he hopes to be a big fish in a little pond and get an access route to money beyond the gsl He probably wants to go to foreigner tournaments because the prize pools are pretty good, the competition is weaker, and who doesn't want to be flown around the world on someone else's dime? I'm not saying HwangSin is a bad player, I am saying he is a smart person for being able to capitalize on these opportunities that few of the Korean players can get. There aren't a whole lot of tournaments in Korea at the moment either. | ||

This is really the trend right now, will be very interesting to see what players Sk gaming will pick up in Korea, now when they kicked their whole old team. | ||

There are no "foreigner tournaments" any more though. Wherever he goes, he's still going to run into Code S players in MC, July, Bomber, MMA, HuK or the ZeNeX online cup army, Moon etc. The odd tournament here and there with a four digit prize money and no Korean players (last one I can remember was TB's invitational) doesn't seem like a really strong incentive to me. I don't know, I'm personally not a big fan of people who sort of pick the "easy road" (which doesn't even exist anymore anyway), but to each his own. I can't see them accomplishing much in the long run or competing at the highest levels. | ||
