This is amazing! Finally, the manner man we all love is getting to go to Korea again! He will compete in the GSL like everyone hopes, so let's all cheer him on!

Hopefully this isn't an april fools joke...

Seems like a joke.. whitera has a wife and a full time job and those have been his biggest reasons for not going to Korea long-term. now hes going to sign a 2 year contract?

If true, then I'm obviously overfilled with joy but not going to hold my breathe on this one.

Well, I doubt that he'd move to korea initialy because he has his wife and she'd also have to come with him.
However, In England atleast, the april fool's jokes stop after 12 noon so...yknow?
I'm clueless.

1) expecting April fools joke but will be happy if it isn't.

2) I love white RA, but I dunno if he's ready for gsl. Maybe living in a team house will help though. I can't see this actually happening though unless his wife comes with him.

I feel that TLO has a good chance of making it. I mean boxer and TLO, doesn't get more innovative. However he needs to work a bit on solid "standard" play to really make it.
The truth is, Yagami-kun, I suspect that you may in fact be Kira.

His play style is much more solid than naniwas. all naniwa does is 2 base all in every game. Write-ra is actually capable of playing long macro games vs the same opponents naniwa just all ins vs. I think for a while now white-ra has been the best foreign protoss, just doesn't get enough attention. I honestly think if he went to GSL he would do much much better than naniwa and at least as well as huk.

Any update on whether or not this was actually an April Fools?

Also, I personally think WhiteRa would be up for the GSL, WhiteRa is very much a showman for the fans and does all these crazy builds because they're entertaining, it speaks for itself as even though he doesn't have the greatest results he has the biggest fan following.
He also can do all these crazy builds with a degree of success and his wins are always convincing and so if you take his level of skill and the intensity of skill and practice potential that is the SlayerS team we will see WhiteRas performance sky rocket.

Wouldn't the point be, that he could improve at a faster pace than if he didn't go korea? It's a shame, I kind of feel Whitera is standing still in skill level, so I think korea would do him a lot of good. So many broken dreams today, things I wish would be true

His play style is much more solid than naniwas. all naniwa does is 2 base all in every game. Write-ra is actually capable of playing long macro games vs the same opponents naniwa just all ins vs. I think for a while now white-ra has been the best foreign protoss, just doesn't get enough attention. I honestly think if he went to GSL he would do much much better than naniwa and at least as well as huk.


now this guys, this is how you do an april fools

Just got confirmation from someone at the Toronto White-Ra event. The slayers thing is NOT an April Fool's joke. He will not be joining Slayers, but there will be some sort of partnership between him and Slayers that allows him to live in Korea and train with the team. He also will be competing in the GSL. As far as I know this does not mean he will be seeded, so will still have to go through qualification process and the Code A prelims.

So get excited!

Edit: OP please update, let everyone know.

is he going to just train with slayers and try and enter the qualies (which is in like 2 months)? I know the season already started, so I'm guessing he's just going there to train since there is no GSTL for slayers and he very well can't play this season. looks like his only option is to stay with slayers for a few months then enter the qualifications.

I wonder how Wife-Ra feels about her husband's on-the-road job. Can't imagine it to be easy with your partner away a lot of the time. You never know, he might pop back and forth in between tournaments to spend some time with them.

Slayers is partnered with EG. If a Slayers guy needs a place to stay while in the states for like a tournament, he's welcomed at the Lair. Incontrol talked about this on SotG when the partnership was first announced (last year before Idra went over to Korea).

White Ra is too comfortable to do anything for 2 years. Why go live with 12 guys in a small appartment in Korea when you have your own house, wife, and can make plenty of money just laddering like 6 hours a day and get plenty of days off?

I'd love to see it, but he's already earned his spot. Grinding it out in a Korean-proteam-sweatshop is more for up and commers trying to prove something, or people in their prime trying to perfect their game.

White Ra needs no team!!

My problem with this is how would you describe someone as being good enough? He's 7-10 against Naniwa, someone that is good enough. 10-7 against TLO, someone whom most would say isn't good enough, but still think could make some headway in Code A at least. He's 5-10 against Stephano, the god of ZvP. He's 2-1 on MMA. 4-7 on MC (pretty darn good to do that well against MC in a PvP). He's 6-1 against Jinro. Jinro being the furthest a foreigner has ever gone in Code S. He may not be the best foreigner, but he's not some horrible long shot in the GSL that you make him out to be.

My problem with this is how would you describe someone as being good enough? He's 7-10 against Naniwa, someone that is good enough. 10-7 against TLO, someone whom most would say isn't good enough, but still think could make some headway in Code A at least. He's 5-10 against Stephano, the god of ZvP. He's 2-1 on MMA. 4-7 on MC (pretty darn good to do that well against MC in a PvP). He's 6-1 against Jinro. Jinro being the furthest a foreigner has ever gone in Code S. He may not be the best foreigner, but he's not some horrible long shot in the GSL that you make him out to be.

Nice to see some statistics.

Given Special Tactics, it would be interesting to see how he would perform in the GSL format where players have time to prepare specific builds for their opponents. I wouldn't expect him to do well necessarily, but he might be able to come up with a new build or so.

Ignoring the joke, his current talent'd be irrelevant.
The man has awesome attitude and incredible work ethic. He's also married, though, so Korea for any prolonged period is unlikely.

The worst april fool's joke this year was when Jessica tweeted that the entire team had died

Wait, she did?

OT: This is great and all but how is White-Ra going to keep up with his job and his wife?


Yeah it was pretty tasteless, although this year there seemed to be a lot of poor SC2-related april fools jokes. (Some of the ones that seemed to be convincing somehow were Bomber going to military and the Toronto Gaming House)

It's not just sc2, it's just the entire day in general. People seem to confuse making a joke/prank with trolling people. Sooo much unfunny stuff.

But...it is April Fools day...you're supposed to make a fool of people by tricking them with false info. These stunts are as true to the purpose of the day as anything I can think of.

But he did beat him in the IEM world championship as well so that is even irrelevant. He can take out boss toss at any time.

Its just a matter of practice. White-Ra has an enormus potential which makes him smash the best from time to time. He lacks consistency and training with pro players. If he practiced in Korea gaming house, i believe he could become at least a code-A material.

Beating 1 player is completely different to play in code A tough.

White-Ra's a practice machine; it's hard to come up with a foreigner who practices as much. Give him top koreans for practice, and he'll get very good. Except that he is married and unlikely to move to korea for a long period of time.

His current skill level doesn't matter much, since we're talking about a guy who can eat\sleep\starcraft every day for months; while keeping his mental state positive.

That's the thing though, it isn't really an April fools unless its been set up on the day and then revealed later that day or early during the day on the 2nd, its now the 3rd so its no longer an April fool, it just becomes a lie.

It's still here and WhiteRa didn't say "fooled you all", so it must be true. April Fools day is over since a few days.

Got to agree with the other guy. April fool joke is either obvious, or you yell APRIL FOOL JOKE when the joke is done.
In this case, I just want it to be true.

From what I know (-.-'), Europe, hence Easter Europe, is at the east of american.

As far as the whole time-zone thing goes, I'd like to point out that Ra has been in Canada since before April fools day. That's the same time zone as my location, and that means that it's April 3rd in WhiteRa time. Would love for someone reputable to confirm or deny this though...
