I'm guessing it's a Chinese player.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Did Losira have any background in other games?

I think the popularity of SC2 is going to churn out some "new talent" that will be able to hang with the BW and WC3 alums. I'll admit that we haven't seen hardly anyone like that yet, certainly in the next year or two.

I'm pretty sure that Flash didn't have background in any other RTS before he started stomping face.


Losira is from pro BW.

It is extremely hard for foreign new talent to rise to the pro level because there is no system for it. In Korea the story is entirely different. Lets talk about Flash and BW. When he was completely unknown he entered Courage tournament and won which granted him semi-programing license. There, he was scouted by WemadeFOX as a B team. Courage tournament is exactly what you do when you are new and unknown. There are no restrictions and happens very frequently. A lot of times, scouts from various teams are watching you play as well. I've also heard cases where a player was scouted even though he did not win the tournament (eventually he had to win one to gain the semi-progaming license but he got a lot of help from the team, i assume).

SC2 in Korea may not have this system yet. However, Korean sc2 teams still benefit from this by simply hiring B teamers who are proven potentials.

In Korea every good player has a clan they play and practice with too. Every BW progamer was part of a clan before they got their progamer license (most of the players are still in the clans they were with before going pro, playing clan leagues etc) and I guess Sc2 in Korea has some pretty good clans too. The foreigner scene has nothing like that. You either play for a team or you pretty much are a ladder hero spending your time on the ladder, while playing some daily cups where you lose in the first couple of rounds. We would gain so much for having clans and clan leagues for amateur players. The skill level and new talents would be better in the long run. Maybe this will pop up more if we have clan support on bnet.

I'm part of one of those amateur clans you talk about. We have several high masters looking for GM, mostly diamonds/plats though. It's real fun but because of the difference in culture we end up just talking on skype more then playing a game :D

btw, i'm surprised noone pointed out the "pro-gramming" mistake in the post you quoted.

Im thinking it might be Coca... hes a part of slayers, but hasnt been in the best standing there after his byun incident, so it could be a way for them of getting him back on track, and giving him a new chance... also, it would suit with EGs style of picking upcoming players with immense talent and an attitude to match

that's actually a good idea. He banned himself from GSL (i think it was his decision) but he can still attend foreigner tournaments with EG.
And it's not like what he did was super bad, it was more like an example had to be made.

He isn't joining EG. Please post in OP so the DRG speculation can stop.

it will be probably one of these:
JYP (Puma practise partner; code S and Teamless)
Moonglade (Teamless and not from around here)
Moon (not from around here -> moon; SOTG/ITG said that he is unbeatable in practise games; but probably to big for EG)


How is moon too big for EG? They signed Puma and Huk who were also both really big. It's not like they don't have enough money for him plus like 50 other players.


I really don't know why people say Moon is too expensive, isn't he team less right now so that must mean that he has no salary(?) and joining a team would be generally good wouldn't it? Or is there something I'm not getting here.


Moon is the progamer which has won the more money in prize money in esport . Yes , more than Boxer , Nada , Flash , etc ...
It's good to be back

it's JYP. imo "not from around here" is a reference to the bar fight scene from the wolverine movie; puma is wolverine, and JYP is sabretooth, puma's practice partner. reasoning: moon is way too expensive for the results he'll be getting in the near future, and the reference would be too obvious in that case anyway. i don't think it's killer because it seems to be well known that TSL and JYP are particularly close, killer's results lately have been somewhat lackluster compared to JYP, and given that he was the captain of TSL, he's probably holding out for a bit more salary.

otherwise, i think the coca speculation is quite good too, and i suspect that as soon as coca gets the OK to play again, he will be transferred to EG, but now is too soon. if i were sirscoots, i would look at my lineup as such:

a-team:

p z t
Huk Idra Puma
JYP (Coca?) DeMuslim

this way, everyone has a practice partner for each MU that speaks their language, and/or matches their skill level and most importantly, that they mesh pretty well with. most importantly, i know that idra's worst MU is zvp, but he doesn't seem to practice well with huk, my only s-class toss. so, my _next_ pickup should be a z, but my first pickup should be an s-class p.

oh man, i'm forever bronze, but i would kick ASS at fantasy sc2...
