cArn should join a Korean pro-team like Torch (why not try StarTale?) just to have the practice environment and partners. If he can't join the team, perhaps just to stay there and practice with them? Pay some token rent to them, better than staying outside. fOu seem quite friendly to foreigners and Choya can speak English.

Weird that he can get that far in the qualifiers, apparently be quite good, but hasn't been picked up by any team, either foreigner or Korean.

He's on eSahara now.

What is that? :o

Edit: seems to be some random french esports organisation with the most useless website ever. After 10 minutes of browsing it, couldn't find a list of players or any information about the team whatsoever.

What? mediocre results?

1: MLG
2: TSL
2: Homestory
2: Road to korea

etc

....

Don't feed the troll, let the mods deal with it.

As for cArn, he earned his spot in the foreigner house, but a code A spot is a bit too much for a player that hasn't gone far in any major tournament.

People are player bashing without even seeing him play lol...
Carn is an amazing Terran, watch his stream sometime, he would absolutely wreck alot of top foreigners.
He is most certainly code a material
edit: Im sure he can play in alot of major tournaments in Korea to post results aside from GSL...oh wait

He's shown that he is at the level of Korean players. It'd be a shame if he came back, but really he'd be considered near the top of the foreigner scene if he came back imo.

A French esports team. (Thanks Google)

I have never heard this story but am honestly amazed by it. Really hope that he can make it into Code A someday.

He must be a pretty solid player to have gotten as far in qualifiers as he did.

Also, can anyone more familiar with Carns play speak as to how good you think he would do at a foreigner tournament such as MLG or Dreamhack?

I hadn't heard this before, but thats really quite impressive that he would drop everything to go to Korea and do this. I can't do much to support his efforts, but i will watch his stream when i get the chance

It was very nice from gom to offer him a spot in the foreigner house!

Asking for a code A slot is a bit too much, everyone seems to agree, but I definetely think we, as a comunitty, could lobby for a korean team to pick him up, so he can have acess to a practice enviroment and easier living conditions.

Telling his story, sharing his dreams, promoting his stream etc are all good ways to draw attention to him - that can make a team more likely want to pick him up.

I saw carn's stream and not saying ANY "gg" AT ALL won't help him join a korean team :s
Gl tho

I also don't think that he is good enough to earn a "free" code A spot. I think that kicking him from gom house is not fair tho.

I think it would be a bit mean to the Koreans who are trying just as hard to qualify for code A for gom to simply let him in because he was dedicated.

Indeed, I think a lot of them were a bit unpleased about how people from MLG get seeded into Code A. Not everyone has the equal opportunities to travel to MLGs anyway.

Nobody is "good enough" to earn a free code A spot since good enough means that you qualified by yourself.

Well GOM should realise that he's been living in Korea for the past 9~10 months and it's been nearly impossible for him to find a team let alone post any results in 'non-korean' events. I admire his amazing dedication and commitment and should there be any open Code A spots from MLG Anaheim, I think he should get it. Don't give up on your dream man!

Being able to move to Korea to play a video game for 10 months now and being able to survive without need for work is pretty much the definition of priveleged. I don't and won't feel bad because he just didn't reach a GSL level and people pay good money to watch GSL caliber players compete. Sheth was gifted a spot because hes a great player and a fan favorite. Carn is neither.

Wow, I had no idea he'd given up so much. I've been aware of him since Artosis' early GSL interview but never really followed him at all. I'm taken aback by just how dedicated he is and how much this means to him. He definitely deserves a spot in the GOM house, he's more than earned it.

Go cArn! I've always been a huge fan since I stumbled across your stream one late night on TL. Keep up the hard work and I'm sure you'll make it far, in either Korea or the "West."
