I heard about carn and knew he was in korea, and i've always wondered how he was doing. I didn't realise he was one bo3 away from code A! He's a true inspiration of someone genuinely trying to improve and putting the hard yards in.

On top of that, he plays terran

Carn fighting!!!

dream doesn't always comes true. I think cArn can start participating in Europe tournament, since he has gotten good

does carn consistently do well every qualifier? he may have gotten "one best of three" away one time but inca (lol) was one best of seven away from winning a GSL final.

Hopefully cArn will deliver!! Hoping you the best!! Does suck that GOM kicked him out for FXO to join but if hes been there that long and hes been in the hosue for quite a few months what more can GOM do? Give him a free house to stay while he hasnt qualified forCode A? Taking a apsace off other foreiengers who want to give Korea a chance.

I would love to support cArn in any way I can but it is my belief that no one should be given a free Code A spot, MMA, BoxeR and DRG all have to fight their way in and don't tell me they don't work hard. Maybe cArn will follow their lead and participate in MLG and show us how much he's improved in Korea.

People must be forgetting that foreigner get seeds in to code a through mlg and gom sometimes invites people from korea. I think that carn deserves a shot at code A, maybe he can take sheths spot?

I'd definitely support the idea of giving him a Code A spot. Like others have said, they've given those spots away before.

Damn reading this made me depressed. I don't think Carn will be getting that code A seed but he has my eternal respect for being willing to pursue his dreams. I don't know how much longer Carn can sustain this type of living without even having a team but good luck and I will be rooting for you in all future code A qualifiers.

This thread, although heartwarming is a bit irritating.

I believe cArn was 2 bo3's away from qualification. The same event that moonglade lost to violet first round. I don't remember him making it to the final round.

Although cArn is good, he still has alot of work to make it to the GSL level. Unfortunately, he is still losing in some SEA events. There is pretty much no latency to SEA from Korea.

FXO did not kick him out of the GOM house. Nor is it our house to kick him out. Everything/anything that happens in the GOM house, is GOM's decision.

If it were my team house, and I had space, I would let cArn stay. Providing that he obey the rules etc of the house theres no reason to say no.

I would like someone to help Carn to get into a team. If he had training partners and a training schedule like Koreans I am sure he would have qualified by now. Getting that far into Code A qualifier without all that speaks volumes about his talent and dedications.
Remember people Haypro didn't qualify once by himself and never won when he got a free spot into Code A. And Haypro had a team and a place

Well you can ask GOM to let him stay now that some of your guys left (Sheth)?

I can't believe you are saying this. Effort is not the biggest factor - never. You can put your life on the line (like giving up your previous life etc) but if you are just not good enough, thats how it is. You should not be favored over someone who doesn't train as much, but is simply gifted and naturally good for whatever reason.

Its nice to put a lot of effort into something and its something I personally highly respect, but its certainly not a reason to get picked for something like Code A.

As Nani said, there are 10000 Koreans playing their hearts out literally grinding Starcraft 2 and they don't get to be picked just because of their efforts.

Edit: I'm not saying he doesn't deserve or spot or shouldn't be granted one, I'm just saying that effort is not the biggest factor in eSports. I haven't followed him all that much, but I wish him best of luck.

I hope he can make it through the next qualifier on his own so his sacrifices pay off

I really envy him of his sick dedication to pursue his dreams.

I have had much respect for cArn ever since I saw his first interview with Artosis. It would be nice if he got given a spot but either way, judging by how much effort and dedication he puts in I have no doubt that the story of cArn will have a happy ending. fighting!

In my opinion, i really think that the end result of a SC2 career needs to be weened away from GSL.

Right not comparatively MLG/national lans are rewarding players more then Code A is. One weekend, top 8 pays out double what the Rnd(32) Code A does.

Idk, personally if cArn is as good as people are saying he is, i'd love to see him come back to the states/europe and try his hand at the tournaments where he isnt sacrificing living in another country with no team support.

Wish him the best of luck with qualifying if thats what he chooses. Always like to see more foreigners.

If you want to be the best, you go to Korea that is how it is currently and how it will be until the Foreign scene steps up it's practice / raises the skill bar.

cArn has spent a year in Korea now (close to it I think). Just playing ladder on the Korean Server for as year will make you better than a lot of people. And to reach the Semi final or Final(?) of the Code A qualifiers is quite a feat. There are so many beasts qualifying for Code A.

@ the guy saying cArn should go to MLG to show us how much he's improved. I doubt he really has the money to fly to America get accomadation still pay money on his living in Korea battle through the Open bracket (with a few top Koreans in it) for a chance of getting nothing then fly back to Korea.
