 ) putting everything up on the line and just go for it. I know I am to scared to do so myself. Maybe one day ill do something like that who knows =) But I don't believe that he should be given the spot. But I would rather see is that he finds a place to live and is able to keep on going after he's dream. | ||

GL carn hope you make it Seriously, when have any of you gotten off of your asses and actually pursued your dreams and passions. What carn is doing is incredible and the fact that he has come so far in such a short time is nothing to be scoffed at by anyone. However, I don't understand the reason for the op. Sure, it brings attention to him, but really, what's the point? Why not wait until he succeeds rather than write an article now bitching about how unjust the system is? I don't see carn whining, he's probably practicing right now trying to overcome the adversity. | ||

(Hail the Emperor, we who are about to die salute you! - words of the ancient gladiators of the Colosseum) Why is this even relevant? Because cArn follows the same code of honor. I remember the hype video about him moving to korea and what i thought back then "this guy doesn't stand a chance". I always though he was an unknowing westerner that had heard that korea was the best place to pracc and doesn't know the real level of competition. I still follow that sentiment, but what has transpired has shown me differently. Not in my initial judgement, but my judgement of character. I remember Wolf recently "dissed" him (about one or two months ago) saying he had the lowest mouse speed he had ever seen. Which is pivotal to making it as a pro-gamer, and he still hasn't improved that part of the game. But this post isn't about cArn's skill, its about his attitude. He has kept with it. He has continuously tried to improve his game (even though he has no "special talent"). He has kept on playing without an auto-berth into code-A. He has continued to fight against his fate, against the odds and without any backup organization (which is more than any failed non-koreans in the GSL so far). Huk and Jinro have the right attitude (they keep on training hard and going against the best - the only remedy to prevent an all-korean onslaught a year from now). Without any official recognition or "great tour results" (even though i think he placed 4th in a "best of the best" of france tour") he has kept at it. So my final words will be: cArn, I salute you! I hope your mentality and perseverance will succeed in the long run. When every non-korean pro will lose due to laziness and lack of practice - you will have done everything within your power to improve. Even though you don't truly succeed there can be no blame on your part. In a philosophical way you are the greatest pro-westerner. You will always have my deep rooted respect Cheers from Norway | ||

But on a serious note, I'm shocked no korean team has picked him up if he's getting that far through code A quals. Why doesn't he just talk to some of the korean teams and get himself recruited instead of just begging for a Code A spot? I'm sure he's learned at least some of the language in a year, and if not he could probably have the deal brokered by a translator.The korean teams are taking players who've done far worse in code A qualifiers, I'm sure they'd be glad to have him, especially with how far he's come under horrible circumstances. I think in a more stable training environment he can do this. | ||

I used to be a FXO fanboy, but if its because of them cArn has no place to train, fuck them. | ||

Rather than the OP and others begging for Carn to just be granted Code A spot, the community (and Carn himself) should try to campaign for him to get recruited by a korean team. With a better practice environment, I'm quite sure he could qualify. | ||
