up and down (probably into code a as i honestly dont think hes at code s level), and hopefully he doesnt go 0-2 in code a and drop out like most foreigners.

I am talking about ToD and hope he will get a better mindset laddering/training in Europe which seems quite crucial in his case.

But that's beside the point here

Go Mana!

What foreigner did that happen to? lol


Jinro , Huk ? They are burn now. Idra in some time was playing better before Kr trip.. , same for Naniwa.
Morrow ? He was or is in KR also yes?. ToD is another example..

Some write fenix.. he is in good shape now ? lol..
Where are the results of players that was in KR ? , all of them was wining more before they go to KR.

KR is not for everyone.

The only player i have seen gotten worst was Select. Other than that everyone else has performed better than before. Huk won two championships of living in Korea. Jinro became super famous because of his play IN Korea. Fenix just left korea and he has been laying low not trying to show off his skills so we dont know about him.

Idra success in early SCII was because of all his TRAINING in Korea!!

Naniwa has made GSL RO8 i dont think this is worst than before because he hasnt really been going to other tourneys.

I think you need to rethink your ppl doing worst.

I have a feeling there will be more foreigners in Code A and/or Up and Downs next season.

So can anyone just go to Korea and stay in the GOMTV house? I wouldn't mind going there. I'll even train in SC2 as well if that's all it takes.

You need X points in masters, and you have to pay afaik. Other than that, no special conditions like being a pro are required.

GL to Mana in Korea, hope he tears shit up.

Sure Jinro is famous but he is not that good like in begining of SC2 same for TLO and IDRA they are stars from early Sc2 days.
IDRA was got success in early days , because he plays from begining of beta , he was way ahead compered when other players starts play more sc2 .

Naniwa GSL is nothing special.. its just oportunity , he was wining vs koreans before he goes to KR , and in GSL plays the same players that Naniwa already beat in other tournaments , before going to KR.

Im happy for Mana really , but like i write Kr is not for everyone.

Guess he got a Code S seed right? I think he's pretty out of his depth in Code S, he'll have to work very, very hard between now and then if he doesn't want to be another Thorzain, Sase, Idra or Sen.


Although I do agree with most of what you're saying, Thorzain by no means had a disappointing showing in code S. In fact he just might be headed back there as he has JYPvT followed by a TvT. He had what one day or so to prepare (as he had been traveling) and he still went 3rd in his group


He did alright but he still didn't make it out of his group.

Cool, but I doubt he will be able to qualify for Code A conventionally. And I'm against seeding.

Tod's always been bad in Sc2 both before and after he lived in Korea.

ToD's always been reasonably good but not enough to qualify for Code A or win a foreign tournament, yet anyways. I'd put him in the same category as Ret.

Are you insane?

Ret's won 2 big tournaments, he's made the Ro4 of a Dreamhack and he's beaten a lot of legit players.

Tod's never placed well in anything that matters and as far as I remember never beaten anyone good on LAN either.
