Hopefully e-sports will eventually become as big in the US and Europe as popular conventional sports are, such as baseball and American football (in the US) and soccer (in europe). Then there would be more of a market to support more of the great players that we have. | ||

EGTL doesn't need to sign any more marginal players, they've got more than enough of those as it is. They need players who can win games vs KeSPA players... + they wont sign anymore foreigners thats for sure | ||

As for the players on T8.. there's just not enough there and as far as support goes when it comes to the rest of the world. There are only a handful of teams that are doing well. ;/ On June 21 2013 02:15 Corsica wrote: + they wont sign anymore foreigners thats for sure The team is preparing to disband like many people predicted. KeSPA won't keep them on life-support much longer. | ||

If you look at a time spane that inclused people like majors as active players, sure it won't happen. But long-term esports will definetly get on that level, if not bigger. | ||

His last success was DH Stockholm which was about a year ago - He didn't even get in any top16 since then aside from WCS Sweden. DeMuslim is on an even longer dry spell. That said, it's sad Major had to leave. He never even got the chance to play except in that one 'joke' round of PL. Demuslim is probably the best foreigner at the moment. However, he isn't participating in any major tournaments really so had had not have a lot of opportunities to demonstrate his skills. Thorzain though is something completely else, I would argue that Major is a level above him, and Major is probably the second best foreign terran (next to Demuslim). EDIT: Forgot about lucifron. He is probably up there with Major and Demuslim. | ||

I don't think that E-Sports can mess with Soccer in like 20 years, probably 40-50 years, but until then, no way imho | ||

Demuslim better than Sjow, better than TLO, the guy who beat Squirtle, Lucifron, Life, Stephano (the guy who got 2nd in WCS EU and took a game off MVP). He isn't participating in big tournaments because he sucks too much to get in them lol | ||
