Unlike cArn, sadly for him, Drewbie has an active team backing him up. Plus, he practises with a team, that was way better than cArn's practise on the Korean ladder. He has team mates and coaches telling him what he does right, what he can improve etc. I think this is a unique opportunity for him and I am glad that he took it, considering how many "professionals" would decline because of the living conditions.

This is such a silly comment. Drewbie plays on the Korean ladder, he has over a 50% winrate, is high masters, and is going over to improve. Sure he may not be as skilled as DRG or Genius but there are others in MVP who could be at a level of sc2 similar to his which he can grow and learn. For any foreigner trying to get to that next level of play, the only place to rapidly improve their game is Korea. Please start supporting our foreigners who want to improve and stop being a piece of shit.

What don't you understand? "Do kids get better at basketball by trying to play in the NBA?" What do you mean with that?_? He's stating that SC2 is analogous to basketball on the amateur and pro levels. The NBA would be the SC2 scene in Korea and NA is apparently the playground. He is asking if simply putting a non-professional player in a professional environment will make him better. The flaw in his analogy is that Drewbie has been playing on the KR server and keeping pace with those players. The difference in skill is not the same as that between an NBA basketball player and a child. A more apt analogy might be asking "Do kids get better at Go (or Chess) by playing professional Go players?"
The thing is tho, he isn't going there for being the next GSL champion. He is there for practice and by playing better players and being able to interact with each other you will be better. And you can't use basketball and compare it to Starcraft because in basketball it's not only skill that matters, you have to be physically fit for it too. So it doesn't matter if this highschool kid with the sickest skill would be thrown into a NBA game, he would stand no chance physically. ,_,
But if he had the chance to train with the Lakers he would obviously improve alot more than he would with the local amateur team.

I don't have high hopes for him because I don't think he'll ever be good enough to place very highly in international tournaments. But having said that I hope he proves me wrong and I wish him the best of luck. He will certainly improve in Korea.

I'm assuming you were too lazy to edit out my comment and are replying to the original quote because I said essentially what you are saying.

Since some months, cArn is part of eSahara – a professional team from France.

What don't you understand? "Do kids get better at basketball by trying to play in the NBA?" What do you mean with that?_? He's saying that if you're at like high school level basketball, will your performance improve if you're suddenly thrown into the NBA? Or is that how it should be approached, at the very least? No, clearly not, you'll gain very little by being thrown into the NBA if you're at high school level, you'll get completely trounced and not even notice any improvement even if you're improving.
A far better analogy would be what makes you get better faster, being trained by a high school coach, or by an NBA coach? These players are going over there for the best coaching and training programmes and, as such, can only benefit. qxc's play has massively improved thanks to his stay in Korea and, going off his twitter account, Naniwa feels much the same way.

Nice good job andrew best of luck in Korea

Good luck Drewbie, big fan of your stream. I'm hoping for you to get amazing, come back, and soundly beat InControl and Idra.

lol @ the carn talk. i dont mean to be hatin or anything but the guy has been failing time and time again. you would think that much time in korea would actually help improve.. sadly with no actual practice partners and a dying sense of motivation, things will be much harder.
Drewbie has the stuff to become rly rly rly good. Lookin forward to an awesome MLG for drewbie.
