Likewise. Checked up on it though and yeah Haypro did qualify for open season 3 with 3/4 other foreigners. The open season qualifiers isn't exactly comparable to the Code A ones though, considering a foreigner has yet to qualify into that. | ||

He qualified while HuK didn't that season. | ||

How should this be deserving of a code a spot? Maybe if he lived and played from a cardboard box he would deserve a pity spot, but not with these circumstances. its obvious he is not good enough. if being a nice and dedicated guy was enough to get into Code A than there would be even tougher competition to get in I don't get why you guys don't read the thread, He has posted he rather qualify than take a free code a spot... and that's what he plans to do unless something surprises him. He will continue his goal, and that is to win. | ||

He's on a team, he HAS beaten code a, code s and grandmaster players and he has only played in 3 qualifiers... I'd say that's pretty talented and/or pretty lucky.A lot of your post is opinion based off of your own experiences and you have no clue what cArn has done besides what you read in the OP. If you read the whole thread you would have realized you were talking out of your ass... because I did. That's all I am saying. | ||

And to echo someone else in this thread, I would bribe the shit out of GOMtv to have them give free code A spots to actual sc2 beasts such as DRG or MMA instead of other random foreigners. | ||

I am writing this post for a fellow player and friend cArn cArn is a player who has put everything on the line, moving to Korea last September, alone and without the support of a team, with one goal in mind: participate in the GSL. I met cArn last October at the GSL. Being the only 2 francophone there we started talking. I learnt about his ambition to participate in the GSL. This came as a shock to me as Starcraft 2 was the first RTS game he ever played, and coming to Korea meant he was to compete against players that have been playing e-sports for several years. For the first few months cArn was living in a boarding house, his only place to train was in a PC room, with no Korean account and no practice partners, getting ready for the GSL qualification was not an easy task. cArn didn’t give up and was eventually offered a room at the GOM house. He now had a place to stay, a Korean account of his own, and a few training partners. This is when his skill level started to increase rapidly, making it further and further in the code A qualifiers until last qualifications where he was 1 best of 3 away from code A, he had made it further than any other foreigner for those qualifiers. With the arrival of team FXO, cArn lost his place in the GOM house and is once again living in a boarding house. This does not only dramatically increase his cost of living, but also takes away his training atmosphere. Once again, despite all of this cArn remains faithful to his goal of participation in the GSL. After all cArn has been through GOM is still hesitant in offering him the “foreigner spot” in code A. GOM is offering this spot to non-Korean players who have proven themselves in tournaments outside of Korea. I do not judge GOM in their way of choosing who will play in code A, I am just hoping this will help people realise what a player like cArn had to sacrifice (family, friends, job and even a stable place to live) so that he could have a chance of playing in the biggest Starcraft 2 tournament in the world. This letter is in no way to pressure GOM into offering a spot to cArn in code A, because I think that it would be more rewarding for him to finally make it through the qualifications. But if luck is not on cArn’s side for the qualifications, I am asking GOM to consider offering this dedicated and deserving foreign player a spot in code A, before he must return to France. I know not everyone will share the same view as me, but I believe that players that put this much effort into the game deserve support from the community. I am a man who is about to put everything on the line, i plan on moving to America this September, alone and without the support of sponsers or a team, with one gole in mind: Participate in the NBA. I'm here to tell you about my ambition to play in the NBA. This might come as a shock to you considering Basketball will be the first ever ball-sport I've ever played, and going to america will mean I'll be competing with people who have played basketball all their lives. For the first few months I imagine i'll be living in a boarding house, with my only place to train being the local high school basketball rings, with nobody to practice with at all, getting ready to impress the NBA talent scouts will not be an easy task. However I plan on not giving up. Apparantly one of the basketball stadiums needs a janitor and i'll be able to live out of the stadium and even train in a stadium environment, perhaps the other janitors will even play with me there! This is when my skill level will hopefully increase rapidly, and ill be able to start to be seen a bit by the NBA talent scouts. I'm just hoping a real basketball team doesn't end up needing the room in the stadium i'm currently using to sleep in overnight, or i might get kicked out, leaving me to return to my previous, bad, practice environment... How unfair!. However dispite this, i plan on remaining faithful to my goal of becoming a player in the NBA. After all I'll be going through, I'm hoping to get a charity spot on one of the teams i hear they sometimes give out to people. Whilst they might still be hesitant to give it to me, I will not judge them for their decision, im just hoping they realize the sacrifices im going to be making (family, friends, job and even a stable place to live) so that i could have a chance of playing in the best basketball league in the world. Should luck not be on my side when i train infront of talent scouts, I'll ask the NBA to consider offering me a spot anyway, because hey, i tried hard right. I know not everyone will share the same view as me, but I believe that having put in this much effort to follow my ridiculously near-unattainable dream in probably the dumbest fashion possible, i deserve the support from the community. | ||
