Just wanted to say I've read most of this thread and have to agree with Chill on every aspect.

Nobody is making fun or talking shit on Desrow for going to Korea. I don't even think Major understands the logic here.

It's kind of a joke for LgN to be sending him to Korea. This is on par with the Spades move, IMO. These players aren't even top 20 in the NA "scene/server." I understood/agreed with the Drewbie to Korea, well because he was top 16 in most of the MLG's and actual won some series vs other top players. Has Desrow even been to any MLGs? I don't think so.

There is no way LgN is going to get a good ROI on this move or any ROI at all. That's what the discussion is here.

In addition, somewhat off topic but true... from what LS (lastshadow) says you need to be fairly attractive for the general people to be nice to you there. Not trying to personally insult desrow however Koreans will have no respect for an overweight NA foreigner. He probably won't like going outside much, however it looks like that's his lifestyle at the moment. Just being honest.


i love how u say u read everything yet u still think LgN is sending him


Oh they're not? I just assumed. I also saw multiple posts from other people make those claims as well. I'm certainly not the first in this thread to assume that then.

Then it's simply Desrow wasting his money. Sure go for fun, try to be a better player. However anyone that knows him knows his skill isn't up to par. It's really that simple.

If LgN isn't sending him, then its actually a win for them because they don't have to pay any money for the Korea exposure. (Even though I think they have a KR division anyways)



Please use ur head. desrow makes money from SC and streaming you dont think by him going to korea and fully commiting himsef wont g et him more of a followinG? and eventually more money? have you read how long he will be staying yet? Months. and months. watch him get drastically better and a succesful team want to have him be apart of there team. The only arguement i think you really have is if you know desrow pretty well and think hes better off doing something else with his time. But way i see it is hes still going to be streaming and more then likely still coaching. So if his following grows. WHAT DO U KNO, so does his wallet.


I actually know desrow way back from wc3 but I don't even want to talk about it because its a joke.

Go find the post a few pages back by "-_-" it explains a lot about his game. Months in korea? LMAO. Sure he might get better.

Thanks for the discussion Rocker.



I'm all ears, give me the goods from his wc3 days.

Because playing in one tournament over a weekend does not improve your skill as much as playing in korea around better players for months. Do you understand now?


But why spend so much money to be better, when he haven't even reached his max where he is now?

Read rockers post about WNBA and the NBA it was explained pretty well. The better the players you play the better you will HAVE to get to compete. It forces you to play outside your comfort zone and play faster and better.

I know. But how will you compete in a 100m dash, when you barely can stand on your feet?

pretty sure his mmr would be adjusted there that he would be just as much out of his comfort zone there as on NA, just a league or two lower

-stopsky- I don't think you understood desrow's dilemma, he can only mass game on ladder, he has no top notch practice partners he can use to mass game and improve. On ladder, blizzard made it so that he will be winning exactly 50% of the time. And Desrow is not good enough to reach the top end of NA ladder, where he wins more than 50% of the time and blizzard's ladder system can't match him up with someone better to keep him at 50%.

So when he gets to korea, he will be doing exactly what he's been doing in NA, winning 50% of his games on ladder, except he will be doing his in diamond league instead of Grandmaster league.

I think most of you are missing the point. He has to play people that are better aka the "big boys" and this is going to force him to play better or fail. Do you not understand this? And yea his MMR might balance out on ladder but Im sure inhouse gamers and other people will give him games.
Last post I dont care if you disagree with this you clearly dont get it and its derailing this thread.

My point was that there is major difference when watching two high ranked players. Some are poetry in motion and some are brute force. That's just the way it is. And there is such thing as talent. Talent itself means nothing but with hard work rapes all the fucking hard work alone in the ass.

i knew this thread would become a shithole when i saw it up this morning... lol

my opinions: you're attempting to better yourself - that's great and tons of respect to you for it. You're ignoring the haters, doubters, critics, etc. Which is awesome. I hope you get whatever you're looking for in the trip to Korea. If you are going their with expectation to make Code A, I am really not too confident you'll succeed. but if you're just going to purely grind out games and learn as much as you can to be a better rounded player, than nobody can say this trip is a waste of money... as long as you do get better, and from what i've read - you can't get worse by going to korea..

my expectation: you'll get homesick, get beatdown on ladder, and eventually say fuck this. but i hope im wrong...

Just good luck from my side, i think u have to potential to get a real good player.
There always will be hater, but mostly they are just jealous on somebody like on you in this case.
U just need to deal with it, this is a big step you need to get if u want to get one of the best.
