he deserves respect, for following his dream that hard, but i think he may commit to much to something he will never be on top at.

Hope he will get very good soon, i like him so much, but i really doubt that he has big chances as a progamer which makes me kinda sad.

FXO is kind of a top tier organisation and players joining should either have a big name or shown A LOT of potential during the latest weeks, if you want to invest in potential. Desrow doesnt fit any of these criteria and therefore FXO loses something that I would describe as prestige.

GL though.

Have you been keeping track of FXO.NA? Desrow is more prestigious than most of their players, it's a team of up and comers. Not quite the same mentality as the FXO.KR squad, just helping to grow the little guys.

The difference in the clantag is only a minor one and most people will still aknowledge that desrow is playing for the same organisation as Leenock and Gumiho do. It sure lifts Desrows status, but lowers it for the organisation itself.

I addressed this to my fans in a video blog but you probably didn't see it. My weight has been an issue all my life. For 4 months out of 6 in Korea and 2 months out of 3 in Poland I was heavily depressed and ate a lot and barely played 20hours a week. As of right now, I am on a diet and have never been happier in my life. I've been playing 12hours a day for the past 2weeks in hopes to make a big splash near the end of 2013. I want people to change their perception of me through hard work and hopefully results.

Thanks a lot for the nice comments guys!, I expected and deserved worst <3

Wish you all a good 2013

Gratz to that Des, with that in mind, keep it up and GL.

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully he does well and fits in with FXO.NA. Best of luck to desRow there.

I agree. I have to question why FXO.NA decided to pick him up.

Edit: After reading Seeker's post I still question why FXO.NA decided to pick Desrow up, but best of luck to both.

FXO.NA has and always be a development team think complexity academy ect, they get access to our kr players for practice/replays and our training structure with the chance to move over to KR if they can prove they are worth it, until they prove themselves they stay there.

Desrow has good streaming numbers/volume the more he streams the less pressure it puts on my korean players to stream when they can be practising to hit quotas. its a pretty simple concept

As I told desrow, if his streaming numbers weren't what they are I would never consider him but ironically, that's one thing that we currently wouldn't mind more of, ofc he will be held to the same standards as everyone else and is on probation with 0 tolerance for quite some time.

fantastic for DesRow.... he's always been a nice guy, but his skills have been somewhat lacking compared to the top foreigners. Hopefully being on a stable team with fantastic practice partners in FXO EU and FXO KR will help him advance


Are you kidding me? When i watched his stream (long ago) he had one of the most detestable personality i had ever had a chance to observe... From calling his opponent a noob and calling himself good when floatin 1,2k minerals on 3 base to nasty talk and what not...

everyone can get nasty every now and then but overall he IS a nice guy. Especially when comparing desrow to other progamers that generally don't get the heat but are more popular.

I'm a nice guy too, but sometimes I talk shit when I play games. Sounds familiar anyone?

The difference is that desrow is kind of a personality on the scene, you are not. People will watch desrow and like him depending on what he does.

See the response from FXO

If you still don't understand why we picked up desRow even after reading my post on page three then I really don't know what else more to say :/
Just trust us when I say that we are fully aware of what we are doing by investing in desRow.

Well thanks Seeker for clearing things up. Takes a grounded man to be able to put that kind of asterisk.

Cheers and good luck to Desrow and FOX.NA.
