1) Not adjusting to the culture and/or not willing to make an effort. 2) Financial decisions. If you are sure you're not gonna make enough money according to your personal goals, leaving Korea for "easier" money seems like the only way to go. 3) Extra-gaming concerns, like family, health, whatever. | ||

I'd liked for him to stay there simply because he'd obviously improve but he knows whats best for himself. | ||

So to sum it up, I don't really mind that he left Korea, I just feel sorry about him leaving the GSL. Seeing another foreigner in Code A would've been nice, but alas, gl hf Sjow. | ||

He got a few months of practice, that's probably enough to make him a better player, so he can perform better in tournaments elsewhere. You know, it's pretty hard to justify staying in korea to play code A when you could be making a lot more money elsewhere. | ||

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. To be honest with the exception of Naniwa and Fenix every single foreigner who took the GSL Code A invite did that to practice for a month in Korea with the GSL Match being just a bonus. Don't for a second think they actually go there for the money: the amount of money in the Korean scene is just pathetic when compared to the European scene where SjoW can make more money in a week with online cups then if he would win Code A. What is actually the difference between taking a GSL Code A seed from GOM that they pay for instead of being sent by your team if the target is the same?

If anything he should be barred from the Qualifiers next season again to make room for a player that actually plays to win instead of one that plays to shit on his opponent. On October 11 2011 03:13 Cyro wrote: How does the code A system work with people qualifiying but leaving every season? Do they just draft in extras from preliminaries or whatever the system is? They change the format of the Qualifiers a bit to provide another spot. Can also happen that they give another foreigner an invite who is based in Korea but outside the MLG Exchange system, for example Sase's invite this season. | ||

I also don't understand why he'd go and tease us for just a season then go home. Foreigners need a diff attitude if they're going to win anything. | ||

Sjow is the man he will do fine in whatever he does. Doesn't have to do with learning the language, has to do with the giant transition from western to eastern society. the shock of it all, of not being near his parents and friends and so on. Sleeping in a new bed in a new country, eating new food, so on. stupidity. | ||

It's not cheap to fly out to all these tournaments from and to Korea all the time. He will be back in Korea, it's just that he has a lot of tournaments coming up. http://www.team-dignitas.net/articles/news/Starcraft-II/431/Sweden-win-IesF-2011-World-Championships/ | ||

If you want to get by and no one speaks english in the country you are moving to you sort of do. I think people underestimate what it takes to adjust to live in a country where you can't communicate with anyone when you're used to at least being able to have some form of, however basic, communication with everyone in english. | ||
