These extended trips to the "mecca of ESPORTS" help teach forgeiners why and how the Koreans stay so far ahead. I just hope that more and more forgeiners take the korean method to their own team houses and practice schedules. If you correlate length of time on TL with anything related to life wisdom, even if you call it "starcraft life wisdom," whatever that means, then you're proving you don't have much of it either. edit: If I had to guess, I would say that Grubby would see real, appreciable results if he spent 6 months in Korea. And by that I mean, the ability to make it deep into Code A Qualifiers, possibly qualify, and to be very competitive at all foreign tournaments, probably a top foreigner. So to hear that he'll be there for only 1 month, well it's positive, but I don't know if we'll see much of a difference or if he has a shot to qualify for code A. Also it's possible that I don't have an accurate idea of his current skill level, because I hear he got better. Best of luck to him though. | ||

I never claimed anything that would require an extensive knowledge of Grubby, Pro SC2 or the SC community. c. I am simply claiming that the opinions lizzard were so matter-of-factly stated that only one with an extensive knowledge of pro-gaming could say accurately | ||

Source: http://twitter.com/#!/followgrubby/status/109623416293834752 PS; Sorry if this was posted earlier, couldn't find it when searching for it! It's actually IM Fenix, not eg fenix. trololol Anyway, I think anyone who plays dedicatedly would improve in Korea. Its only a month though, so I don't know how lagre the improvement is gonna be in that time. | ||

Anyway, we've seen what this time has done for SaSe (watch his stream, he's a beast) Fenix and everybody else in the world who ever went to korea for any reason (yes, they all became gosu). Also, Grubby is known around those parts somewhat I'd imagine from his WC3 days, even though WC3 is more of a china thing. I know that there will be people who say "well he's not already the best player EVAR, why would he botherlol??" (amended version). And it's obviously that he wants to get better. He wants to go SC2 full-time (at least it looks like it) and this is an excellent start. Grubby fightiiing! Bladmaster imba. | ||
