His aim is to be in code A, notice how different that is from saying "I will be in code A next season" ? Everybody with big ambitions knows you need to have a semi-reachable goal, and Code A for Desrow is definitely reachable with enough practice and dedication. Its kind of frustrating to read posts like this, the guy is so dedicated to the game and tries hard to improve himself but then people come and go..... well you're no Michael Jordan, might as well not even try. He's paying for most of the trip himself in order to improve, don't see why people are being so pessimistic about it. Its his money. to be honest, you make it sound like nobody even has the right to comment in a "negative" way...I mean, as long as you don't get insulting, it surely is ok to be of - and express - the opinion that you don't think that's such a good idea? Because I for myself got to agree with Chill - the thing is, desrow ALREADY practices really hard and isn't even on top of NA. This makes me think he has reached his "skill-ceiling" that mere practice in Korea isn't likely to break. Just think about the huge amount of (arguably) more skilled players that moved to Korea and failed most terribly. | ||

Has nobody looked into this yet?  Wow I just noticed that too and looked at their profiles. Pretty much every single one of them has only posted pro-Desrow comments on threads relating to him. I highly doubt it's him making those, but he seems to have some rabid fans who made multiple accounts. Nice... | ||

I'm pretty certain they have already done IP checks and would of banned him if he was doing the self-promoting himself. Not to mention, he's been streaming for the past 2-4hours when this thread was posted. Kind of hard to make multiple accounts and play at the same time...... Yeah, I thought about that after posting. It's clear that it's not him, but it's still suspicious to me. I figure R1CH would wizard all over their asses if there was something wrong. | ||

Seems kinda pointless to train like that. It's not like Korean food and air = higher SC skill. Good luck though. | ||

Maybe if he had a big name team (cough EG) to throw tons of sponsorship and advertising money at him, he would have more support, but people resent the idea that he is trying to promote himself. I see that as entrepreneurship. Why the fuck not. Good luck Desrow. <3 | ||

When someone actually takes the plunge he should get positive replies not abunch guys shooting him down. | ||

Your post for example contradicts Chill's. He said its a great opportunity for Desrow to go, but a bad investment from his team (which I agree with IF it was true, which it isn't). Anyone serious about starcraft needs to live in korea and clearly desrow is serious about it. | ||

I see that as entrepreneurship. Why the fuck not. Good luck Desrow. Huk already had several titles including an MLG before he went to Korea... And the other guys either went to Korea for a short period of time or they came from teams with comparatively large budgets. EG paying for a player to go to Korea is not even close to the same as Legion doing the same. EG has a LOT more money so it doesn't hurt nearly as much. If Desrow's paying it's perfectly fine, but it would be a terrible move on his team's part if they covered his expenses. By the way, what Gosu players went to Korea other than actual Koreans? | ||

Korea server practice is often more interesting and attractive to stream viewers, and accompanied with his (hopefully) increased skill level will definitely draw attention. He can play the Korean server from home. Korea is 17-14 hours ahead of us. So you're telling me he's going to modify his streaming schedule to only play at night, thereby removing all the benefit of playing on the Korean server? Makes zero sense. If he's paying for this he should have paid for a vacation, not this. | ||
