I don't think it was an easy decision for him but he made a choice. Rmember, he's the only one concerned in fine.

Why would you not take such a great change of proving yourself among the best. Also, Code A starts after WCS EU

I think it is the punishment from GomTV for not showing up when sick..

Nah I think its just Thorzain, he can play in foreign tournements and live the life he wants rather than be miserable in korea (from what I remember he didn't have a good time) and play just in one season of code A. if he wins foreign tournaments maybe he can get code S invite anyway? ^^
I dont believe gom would underhandedly punish him just for being sick on the other side of the world and missing a qualifier.

I would wait for an official statement from GOM or Thorzain before making judgment on the Code A absent.

Some of the comments in this thread...

Quite embarrassing how people are quick to draw conclusions based on their own stupidity and lack of checking up facts.

Well even if it isn't that much hate it's still really weird considering how insanely mannered ThorZaIN is. He doesn't deserve any kind of hate ever tbh.

Probably the fact he got a bug and he rather focus on WCS for whatever personal reason. Should be much easier to get a better result there though.

GOM's response is nothing strange either. If the player gives up his spot then he doesn't deserve to comeback in a similar position. They would have to re-earn it just like the other guys who forfeited.

Sigh, another foreigner afraid to compete in Korea. I don't get it. Korea is best place to improve.

Suck it up.

im glad, id rather see players do this and play better in one tournament, instead of doing a HuK and trying to go to every single one and just failing in them all

Yeah we as fans know better than Thorzain what's best for him. After all maximum player skill is most entertaining for the fans, therefore Thorzain must practice in Korean. Also, very few foreigners have commented how miserable, depressing and lonely it is to live in a team house and practice for 10 hours a day with people who don't speak English. Fans' judgment of player passion outweighs players' personal judgment of their own emotional health.

I'm pretty impressed with my logic there.

Alright then, next month move to country for an entire year where the language and culture is alien to you, for minimal pay. Oh yes, you might not have a stable place to stay either (now that the Slayers-EG partnership is over).

It's easy to forget how much commitment and a challenge traveling across the world long-term is.

Smart move for him. Doubt he would get far anyway. Better to play where you think/know you can dominate. Must be the EG influence on him.

Moving abroad is overrated. All pro gamers have to travel a lot and I bet the majority of them are used to it. Sounds like a comment from someone who has never left their back yard. I've lived in 4 different countries. Adjusting is easy and fun.

Many players don't know what's best for them. They follow the easy money, but should also think long term. I remember when Sheth left Korea and his results have been lacking ever since + I have no respect for someone who throws away an opportunity like that.
