i mean i could not see him stay there for a very long time. to bad he was one of the few players who could be able to be top code S but nice to have him back  GSL would be way more international if koreans would speak at least a bit english, as it is its so unbelievable hard living in a country and nearly no one can understand you its not even like you cant speak an europe language you cant learn it fast etc .. | ||

Atleast in Drewbie's case he's only there for a "bootcamp" as far as I know, so he's expected to return home. I'm sure its a fantastic experience for a player to attend for a single season, get a taste of Korea and the pro gaming life over there, but I'm not sure how its financially worth it for the team. | ||

What has been the best, and worst of your stay in Korea? [...] Worst is probably because I got tired of the food. so the reason he left is because he didn't like the food lol. jk. i can totally understand his decision. | ||

I wish more people would take NaNiwa and SaSe's approach and just try to become beasts that can actually compete at the top level. That's because gold falls from heaven, right ? TL-netizens aren't really aware of the real world >> | ||

Looking ahead to IEM I am not sure if this has given me a boost as the opponents here were weak but having practised in Korea for a while now I think that I am in good shape. After IEM I will attend ESWC and then return home for Dreamhack Winter but after that I think that I will go back to Korea." Maybe he just doesn't wont to fly around the world every second week. Everyone can see how this affects your play if you look at Huk. As far as I know Code A was just a bonus, as he went to Korea to improve and not to play in the GSL. | ||

And if he never fell in love with the culture during the "honeymoon" phase then it would only get worse. | ||
