Haven't heard anything of him either since. pretty sure i heard hes not in IM anymore but might be confusing him with Major | ||

Yeah, Losira Mvp and Nestea also all went to the MLG Winter Arena, and + Show Spoiler + Nestea is going to Paris for the iron squid finals I don't think they are giving up foreign tournaments. | ||

Fenix looked so sharp after a month in korea in the GSTL, I hope he goes back there soon. Here's a photo on his facebook from 10th April. So he is still very active in IM! awesome ![[image loading]](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/562957_10150803675796908_141073471907_11935521_1973823117_n.jpg) | ||

He was wearing the new IM uniform that came out after he left Korea last year. I'm not really sure though because none of his facebook pictures, not even the IM page's photos actually show him with anyone from IM as of yet. | ||

He's still on the Incredible Miracles roster, so maybe he is just practicing hardcore for an event, sort of like Polt before he won IPL3. | ||

I think it was this one, then. I only remember that people didn't expect Polt to return because he was someone who was forgotten from the GSL. | ||

I'm a pretty avid follower of IM and all of their players and I don't remember any scam. Will you please explain what you are talking about? | ||

Wow that's really fucking awesome He better keep doing this well in the rest of the tournament then lol it would be so amazing if he got to the finals and I would probably run out into the street screaming "HELL YEAH" if he won it lol | ||

Will you please explain what you are talking about? I'd guess it's the fnatic drama that I heard about a while back. I can't remember all the details so I'm not even gonna try for fear I get something wrong and speak unfairly. But TT1 was angry at Fenix for something when they were both on Fnatic. You could probably dig it up somewhere if you really care. Also huge thanks to Monk for giving some insight as to what's up with Fenix! | ||

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. | ||

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". | ||

There was only 3 terrans in the whole event that he could potentially play, so he heavily focused his practice vs Zerg and Protoss, then he ended up playing 2/3 of his matches vs Terran. | ||

No source, 99% sure it wasn't a forfeit. I missed the opening but there were bunkers in parting's natural so he took his 2nd base at his 3rd location at entombed he managed to clear out Fenix's forces but Fenix held the counterattack with like 3 or 4 bunkers. Fenix got 2-2 to just +1 armor of Parting. Parting went up to 3 base vs 3 base. Fenix went for a mid game scv pull timing attack with 2-2 and Parting didnt have enough to hold on. the game was played | ||

It's all about the potential, let's gauge someone's potential. This guy has potential, that guy has potential. If he practices enough and sets his mind to it; he has the potential to go far. He is definitely GSL material, look at all that potential. He has the potential to potentially achieve a potential notable tournament and potentially set himself apart from other foreign Terrans who may have potential too. Potentially. + Show Spoiler + Let him practice, play, participate in tournament and let's just see how well he does | ||

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. | ||

I mean, how many foreigners get to sit on that team? Waiting on HOTS seems foolish he should be doing something for the wrist. | ||

Waiting on HotS to see if his wrist is well enough by then is foolish, how exactly? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
