Was gonna post this but Wolf said it better. I met cArn in Seoul before, and I've seen him practice in some of the most non ideal conditions ever. Bash him for not having results sure, but anyone who talks about his dedication is retarded.

And at least when I say non-ideal, I don't mean he didn't have a nice chair, it means shitty internet (yes, it happens even in Korea), no structured area, possibly moving around, horrible sleeping areas, etc

I appreciate both eSahara and cArn for speaking their mind. We know more about the situation now than we would have otherwise, when the usual happens with teams coming out with blanket statements and ignoring all questions and relevant comments.

How stupid is that? Why would cArn deserve to be in pro house? He is propably average grandmaster/top master level in eu/na. And you know what, 99.99% of foreigner progamers arent in pro house, still they train and dont cry "I CANNOT TRAIN IN IDEAL CONDITIONS" trollol.

Where the hell did he say that cArn "deserved" to be in a pro house? Are you just making shit up to argue with a well known community member? Trololol indeed.

I think we will and should see more teams removing players that havent posted any results, its a natural evolution of the sport and always should be

So basically this guy needs a team that will support him all the way until he finally feels ready to go into GSL?
I mean, cmon, he didn't even try to qualify this time. Yea, chances are low for that but will there really be time when someone can be comfortable that he can just go into those code A qualifiers and really qualify?

He's been in korea for a year and hasn't really done anything to promote himself. Ok, he didn't qualify for GSL because that's freakishly hard, but how many daily/weekly tournaments did he even attend?

If you wan't to become a pro nowadays you can't just sit at home and play sc2, you need to make a name out of yourself. That means you need to play in bunch of different tournaments, stream, arrange some showmatch etc.etc. so that you can create some fanbase and become marketable.
GSL isn't everything. There are couple players who didn't win any real major tournament but they won over 40!!! daily/weekly/etc tournaments. Now everyone knows them and would like them in their roster. That's how it's done.

because having attitude like "I wan't a team that will give me great conditions to practice so I can just sit and play and then some day try to qualify for GSL" just doesn't cut it. No team can afford that.

He didnt say that, but if carns mindset is that he can only train in prohouse, then its kinda retarded. My post was towards carn and his "i cannot train without prohouse"

+1 for Millenium, they didn't picked MoMaN, they let ToD go because he wanted to go for a very long time in Korea, no chance they pick cArn.

For the other french teams...aAa maybe (very small chance imhp), or the belgium team BLAST, Acer has a french manager Frederick "Kaoru" Gau, he might be interested (Even if cArn + Nerchio in the same team would be a bit...weird to me).

However, a big problem remains : He's in Korea and is invisible in tournaments, even online. It doesn't help to get a team.

I think it's the point cArn has to think about if he wants to join a new team.

But you don't know what types of conditions he had. No offense but you've probably never been to Korea, or spent any amount of time here to know what it's like as a foreigner. It's not that he can only train in a prohouse, it's that while a Prohouse might be the best environment to improve your skills, it's not like PC Bang's or where he was living is a good environment. His mindset isn't a prohouse = must, his mindset is a good environment, which while he's in Korea, he never really had consistently.

You're not understanding wolfs statement, an ideal condition doesn't mean "progaming house" in this scenario it only means a place where he would be able to practice. Now you imagine, he's in a foreign country with no financial support. PCbangs will cost him money and I don't really think he had the money for an apartment + internet. You do understand you can't practice without internet do you?

Well he basically was brought to korea to train and then is like nahh i dont wanna do gsl i think il get raped. Like it never hurts to try right? From what they tell us it sounds like he just obviously doesn't care or feels he actually will just get raped and not want to embarass himself. Sad though

You should read some of cArn's backstory before you embarrass yourself. I dont' think anything of what you said is actually true.

eSahara runs a business, if they think a player doesn't do what they require - be it results, public relationship or whatever - they have every right to close the partnership.
If anything, they had been kind enough to let us know what they really think.

Carn's post explains everything else we may need.

gl to both, that's all.
