I did an informal interview with him at WCS Grand Finals. We were just hanging out at the hotel, and I didn't have my camera on me. Basically, he started having wrist issues around February, so he could only practice 2 hours a day instead what everyone else at the IM house was doing, which was 10 hours a day. He didn't feel like he could keep up, so he went back to hims home country. IM has actually asked him to come back, but again, he didn't feel like he could compete. He see what he can do when HotS comes out and possible return back to full activity.
Thanks a lot for clearing that up, I was so curious for the longest time, I follow him on twitter/facebook but I can't read spanish.

That sucks about his wrist, but he really should be trying to get back to team IM if he can. I mean, how many foreigners get to sit on that team? Waiting on HOTS seems foolish he should be doing something for the wrist.

He's probably trying to do something about his wrist, hence the not being in the IM house. Waiting on HotS to see if his wrist is well enough by then is foolish, how exactly?

How many foreigners are on team IM? Will they let one back in when HOTS releases and one who hasn't played in months? This team seems to like him too.

He's the only foreigner on a Korean team, KeSPA or eSF (not counting FXO.eu and FXO.na). And IIRC the IM coach sees a lot of potential in Fenix.

No. Not Code A or S level actually. Considering the only games he's played in the last month included beating Parting (albeit in a Bo1) I don't know how you could definitively say that. He participated in BWC and went 0-4 against Illusion and 2-0 against Socke. Illussion isn't code A! Especially when nobody apparently saw how he won against Parting and on what map. what does no one watching it have to do with that it happened? that seems like a stupid point to bring up to me. also i'm pretty sure Illusion would be code a level if he competed in GSL. That's all speculation though which does nothing to disprove the point at hand which says that "Fenix is still pretty good albeit only practicing arround 2 hours a day".
Sorry that was a poor wording. What I meant was just that since nobody had actually watched the game, I'd be reluctant about taking too much meaning from it. It could just have been some form of marine scv allin - or that he played perfectly and delivered some asskicking to Parting.
He does seem to be doing fairly well with just 2 hours of pracc a day, but how much would increasing it from 2 to 10 benefit him? Or how good would other players be with just 2 hours of pracc? It's useless asking those questions.
