The only problem is, this is somewhat perpetual. For me, I can simply say, "We'll see how he does at MLG, hopefully he shows us he's still got it". But then, if he bombs out, he may just say he got lazy and stopped practicing, then everyone else would say he could be amazing if he practiced. I want to see him do well, but I'm not really on board with this whole He could still be the best foreigner if he wanted deal, it's fine to be skeptical and doubting that he can become the best foreigner doesn't mean you're ignorant.

My take on Tyler's situation is this: The man obviously has a deep passion for Starcraft, or he wouldn't be playing it professionally and engaging in the community. And he's made clear that something IRL is getting between him and the kind of practice regimen that would allow him to shine. Because he's so obviously passionate about his craft, and because TL's leadership presumably knows what's going on and has continued to be supportive of him, we can only deduce that whatever is going on behind the scenes must be a pretty huge deal.

Given that I respect Tyler's decision to keep his private life private and have no reason to doubt the judgement of TL leadership, I'm content to remain in the dark and just have faith that (1) whatever is going on will not last forever and (2) when Tyler is able to return to top form, he'll likely have what it takes to be a major player in the SC2 scene.

Seriously, we have so little information about what the situation is that all of the criticism and praise that are heaped on Tyler seem a little silly.
