Why are so many foreigners so eager to become progamers without showing any specific talent what so ever? I mean, you see threads about master/gm players looking for teams because they wanna be progamers all the time even if they are ladder heroes with 51% win ratio. The same goes for people like desrow going to Korea without showing off any sort of talent in this game.

Shouldn't people be able to at least beast it up on ladder or tournaments before thinking of going pro? If you would play 8-10 hours every day and have the talent for the game to become a progamer you would be noticed. Is it really that bad playing this game on a amateur level?

And who was huk before Korea? Who made fun of incontrol when he went over? Or the dozens of other unknown players playing for example for itsgosu (or gosu gamers or gosu whatthefuckever)? Here is a guy who is fronting his own money for the chance to improve, which he will, 100% (code A? probably not yet...) All because it is his dream to be a pro gamer. Isn't that what we would call "love for Esports" in a different context? 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.

Agreed. If you play full time and still don't have any noticeable results I don't see how Korea is going to help.

What a great opportunity for Desrow and a stupid move by LgN. I think Starcraft teams don't understand the purpose of an investment.

Edit: Desrow has a lot of fans because of his personality, not his skill level. By sending him to Korea you are isolating the majority of viewers from his stream. He obviously won't make it into Code A. This move just doesn't make sense. I hope Desrow views this as a vacation and doesn't train too hard in Korea.

I was going to korea regardless of if I had a team or not. Blame me not them. I'll be streaming around the same hours when I'll be going into the gom house. If I manage to get in a team/clan house my schedule will obviously change but I don't see myself as a personality/entertainer. I know I have success because of my personality/ and that I entertain on stream but ultimately I want to be a top foreigner Protoss. I already play 8-10hours at home, why not do it on the best ladder and get a shot at a clan/pro house at the same time?

Oh and I'm paying for most of the trip and maxfrag is helpîng me as well.
