in fact he threw away the prize money by giving it to someone who said he will not give any of it out

Am I the only one who thinks it's bullshit that Legion gets to put a whole big thread about this on TL when they aren't even paying for him? It's so fucking misleading. They make it seem like they're sending one of their top players to Korea when really they're just announcing that he's making a move. It's such a scumbag way for a subpar team to grab rep off of one of their players decisions to improve.

It's such a scumbag way for a subpar team to grab rep off of one of their players decisions to improve. Why is that bullshit? It's relevant information, to their player, their reputation, and their team. And considering the fact that Des has posted about seven or eight times in this thread, I would venture to say that he agrees with me...
So what are you really worried about here?

Sounds cool, good for Desrow~! Hopefully he gets into CodeA soon, or competes in GSL. His stream is quite informative, I should watch it more often

I see Desrow do 4 gate about 65% of the time his games(I watch about 2-3 hours of his stream a day) of course most of his games end early. He has too learn some new builds and practice on his late game and a trip to Korea would help that.
We all have dreams and this is his dream he's been talking about this for awhile, who cares if he isn't a top tier Forean or even a mid tier why should anyone say he isn't good enough to go to Korea or he's wasting his time and money. Hope he becomes a better player and person in this trip GL Desrow!!!

imo unless desrow makes drastic improvements in his gameplay, I can't see him getting too far. However, best of luck in your stay in korea.

Best of luck desRow. I will be rootin for ya

No. But I see what you trying to say here. If I'm interpreting you correctly, you think that LGN shouldn't be involved at all in this story besides the fact that desRow is on that team. And since it was a personal decision for desRow to go, rather than a collaborative effort with his team they shouldn't be trying to get extra positive PR.
I suppose you kinda have a point, but they are paying to fly him there, so I don't know if I agree entirely. And even then, they are just doing what they can to get their name on the map. You'd do the same.

Wish good luck to Desrow even though I don't know much about this guy. Tough odds over there.

From my understanding they aren't even paying to fly him there. That is a separate individual that has nothing to do with the team. I didn't really give it much thought but I agree with Venom. Especially since they originally left out the fact that he was paying his own way, when the opposite would have been implied by their OP.

GL to desrow! His manners aside, have to give him props for going out there, reaching for his dream!
On the lighter note, does he have to pay for 2 seats?

Whoa hold on there.
Team Legion [LgN] is thrilled to announce that our very own Canadian protoss player Marc-Olivier "desRow" Proulx will be going to Seoul, South Korea for an indefinite amount of time in order to train and improve as a player. desRow will be paying for all his expenses and maxfrag, the personal sponsor of desRow will be helping him with the plane ticket fees.
I don't think they edited that in? At least the OP doesn't say it was edited :O

What a coincidence, I do the same thing every time you play in a tournament im glad u do laugh at me when i play in a tournament i must be really terrible at the game  god damnit i guess i should quit the game cause i dont have the talent to become a good player OR i can practice more? hmmmmm what seems like a better idea..lets quit i dont have the talent to be good man i didnt born with it T.T
what a coincidence, I do the same thing every time you.... no wait, what am I doing I'm not 13 years old no more, fuck this, it's not even funny xD
well talent is nothing compared to hard work, talent is one of the most overrated and wasted things in earth, but yeah when u see a guy who has both of them, it just gets insane

we did edit the last sentence of the paragraph. mistake on my part when I read the press release and agreed to it. I can see how it looks bad for them that wasn't our goal and I'm smarter than to give 100% credit while paying for the entire thing XD
