Can't see this being a April fools joke... and I don't want it to be one either!

Would love to see Suppy in Korea! Shame he wont be staying longer than 5 months though.

As a side note is Suppy Korean by descent like SeleCT? I know he is American passport etc. just curious if he will have the same language barrier issues as Stephano.

EG are really masters at communication. Nobody cares about what Suppy does, but they post that around April 1st so that we give this piece of news attention by just talking about April fools jokes.
Evil geniuses indeed.

It's 5 weeks not 5 months :O which begs the question, what is he actually going to get out of it from being there for such a short time?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

SeleCT is Korean and Suppy is of Chinese descent.

Ok cool thx for clarification. I knew SeleCT was Korean, now that you say it I remember reading about him being Chinese in his blogs about CSL.

Either way this is one guy Ithink the foreign scene has been sleeping on for a little while!

I know some players have said that you need a long time in Korea to really learn, but I doubt it will be in vain with a shorter period. Also it could be to give Suppy a taste of what full-time progaming is like, since he won't be in school forever and will have to make a choice at some point whether to pursue progaming or something else.

Yeah I think for someone of his nature it's more of a choice between "do i want to do the progaming now and put off my life, or jump right into a career".

Hopefully for us it's the first; you can always go get a job once you are done with progaming.

Not buying it


It's still march in the USA. Could probably ask Suppy for confirmation on twitter or something.

@Mistertea: Suppy is in college, so obviously he can't go for very long.

It's also still March in Canada, interesting huh? Many companies (Blizzard to name one) frequently makes their announcements on March 31st. The tweet says he's going during may, which is when school is off (assuming he isn't taking summer school, which he has been doing in the past), which makes it seem more real. If it is a joke, wouldn't you want it to seem real, and not blatantly obvious?

Even if I'm wrong, so what? Nothing. I'm not buying it.


o.O ok sorry, lol. My family lives in Canada, I happen to be in the US. I could have also said central, south america, and mexico, but I happened to go with the country I'm in. I'd also have been forgetting any number of islands like Cuba etc. I didn't look at where you live.

I'm not disputing your ability to not buy it. You're more than welcome to do so, I was simply stating evidence as to why I could see it being real.

Plus, this isn't cruel, funny, or otherwise interesting. I don't think it would make a very interesting april fool's joke. On april 2nd, EG is like "lol april fools," but who cares? XD

He's still in school.

Why does it seem like half the foreigners are trying to be progamers while in school? What is the point? They can't possibly be competitive with the koreans like this...


You know suppy beat polt towards the end of WoL in a showmatch? Before polt semi-retired to go study that is. He's pretty good. Obviously he isn't going to win GSL anytime soon, but he's also not a full time progamer.

I'm just saying that the foreigner scene will never keep up if they do not fully dedicate themselves. Sure, maybe they get the last laugh when they have good careers to transition into later in life but in the mean time they will be mediocre pro gamers. I'm fine with people wanting to transition in life I just want to see some more committed players.


Maybe we need less commitment from Koreans?

I'm sure I'm not most people, but I don't care about a league which features players who dropped out of high school to work for a professional gaming team dedicated to building brand recognition for a large corporation (basically Kespa style proleague teams). Similarly, I wouldn't care about a baseball league or baseball records where all of the players are taking steroids, and I don't care about the skill of athletes who graduate from East-Germany style athletic schools. I know that admiring the sacrifice of players in their passionate pursuit of progaming is a big thing on TL, but there are many things not worth sacrificing.

Kudos to Suppy for trying to have it all. I hope that he does great things when he can go full time after he graduates from school.
