He finished something like 30th at the last IPL, he barely even managed to qualify for this IEM, he was 22nd on the rankings list with no top place finishes. | ||

You guys realize he's played only about 120 HotS games, and done fairly badly at that, hasn't even made GM? Wasn't he saying that he started playing WC3 so he could win some games to get his confidence back up? You think other players have much more exp in the HotS??! | ||

Personally, I think it's a slap in the face to GOM, considering he was given a seed and he's just throwing it away (and it's peripherally hurting how even the groups were in size, and viewership), but it's still his decision at the end of the day. I'm not going to kidnap him and force him to play GSL (and possibly lose again, anyway). He has his reasons, even if they might be selfish. | ||

Guaranteed in the context that the level of competition and skill are lower at foreign tournaments than in the GSL. Just roll with us (most responders in this thread) on this one. :D | ||

They are complete Korean slayers that put fear into their Korean counterparts. If they decided to grace the Korean scene with their presence they would totally crush some Korean faces. They have incredible micro/macro and unmatched creativity. Koreans with their mechanical play can't handle their game sense. The only reason GSL hasn't had a foreigner champion is because who wants to waste their time in Korea? I hope you get the sarcasm. | ||

Life hint – if you achieve the first the later almost always follows. But in most cases, you can't achieve the first, and also you missed the chance to get the second. | ||
