SaSe and Drewbie is going there. I have a feeling that Select will join up with Naniwa and Sjow!


Not anytime soon, he has mentioned that he has some visa problems.

Won't the S.Korean government force him to do the army or some shit if he goes?

Nice! :D Only swedes going to korea, i guess the other countries just ain't that good :D


nope its simply because they have the most freetime and dont have jobs.
im not trolling but its the truth that almost all swedish players give up their lives
all ukraines dont go and almost all german and polish players go to school/college and have jobs.
so dont pose like a kid to feel better
sjow goes because he wants and not because he qualified through an european tournament or so.



Maybe one day little bro Denmark will send ONE guy to Korea. Until then, stay jelly brah, real classy.


its simply the truth.i mean it IS the truth:D im not jealous at all.
of course some swedes try to protect it but lets be honest please;)

Just stop it before we get another shitstorm of Swedish fans vs world going.


Rationalising is cool

Why are you speaking of things you know nothing about. Thorzain was in university when he won TSL3 for example SjoW and Naniwa doesn't have "jobs" because Stacraft2 is their job, they make their living out of it. Are you saying they should apply for Uni just for the fuck of it when they can live off something they love doing and are passionate about?

How is "giving up your life" = Do something you love and get paid for it? Doesn't make sense to me. Just wreaks of jealousness and you're very uninformed.

Sjow goes because he EARNED a Code-A spot by placing top4 foreigner in MLG. What are you talking about :/

EDIT: Claash in every post I read on teamliquid you are thrashing Swedes all over the place, what's your real problem really?


Great to see your posting here Merz, always cheering for you! And regarding Claash, who can blame him? I mean living right next to a country where not everyone smokes, people pwn at SC2(and games/sport in general actually!) and there are more beautiful women then you can imagine can't be that easy

And oh, best of luck to Sjow!!!
Sweden/foreigners fighting!!

The more players i see going to Korea regardless of what Team they are part off, the more i feel happy. This only means slowly but steadily foreigners are going to kick KR ass!

Gl Sjaw, Drewbie, Idra, huk and other teams who manage to send their players there for training!

That is like saying "I'm white, why won't Russia give me Visa"

Hint: Just because you look Korean or your parents are Korean, doesn't mean you "are" Korean. Citizenship is what decides that.

Good job on being (another) annoying nationalistic arrogant swede O_O

On topic: Yea I agree Merz, it's just like real sports. And on top of that, a lot of current progamers have at least a basic education so that they can continue university or w/e and I really dont know what claash has against sweden :S

Yeah if he still has his Korean citizenship and if he's 20 years or older and never been in the Korean military... he most likely would get red flagged for going into the military.

Then again I don't know his personal situation....

Stop the arguing and be happy please. Danish people seem jealous and Swedes keep trolling...

Best of luck to Sjow, and I really hope he stays for a while so he can improve as a player, and not just give a quick stab at GSL to see how far he can go and then go home.. Especially as none's made it far on their first go (atleast not since the quality bump in 2011).
Sjow fighting!
