Grats to State! He did well at SHOUTcraft America awhile back.

He has the potential to be one of the best American protosses. Right now Minigun and Puck still have an edge on him though.

Take a look at why Naniwa is the only foreigner at Blizzcon. The answer is: yes.

Congratulations to State, I know he's been wanting to go and train in Korea for a while, I think he has the talent and the discipline to make it work.

Look at other sports, a good training environment is the biggest difference. All you do is eat, breathe, and sleep training for your sport. It definitely can't hurt.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Depends on the person - some guys like TaeJa and Polt can play from home and still be championship caliber players, others seem to really prefer living in a team house.

Without making it too complicated, let's just put it this way: State was in Korean house before (Startale), and says that he always wanted to go back again. Clearly, he thinks it's better for himself, personally.

Take a look at why Naniwa is the only foreigner at Blizzcon. The answer is: yes.

Nope, he just have the talent, like Stephano had.
Many foreigners went to play there and it didn't helped them at all. Can't remember all, but some TL players like TLO and Snute. Major. Idra lived there for a long time. Maybe they improved their skills, but...

My opinion about that: it can help some players to reach their peak form. But that peak form may and will vary from player to player.
And I think it may even hurt some players' skills. Some people don't adapt that good as the other do and this is a big move. Especially if someone were playing from his place and now he suddenly have to live with 6-7 other people, eat different food, don't have a chance to see friends even once a week; etc

I dont think so. You can become really good without it.

SortOf went to korea, came back and played worse than before. It didnt help Stephano. Seems like it doesnt matter for HuK where he trains coz he isnt doing any better. Did it really help Desrow? I dont think so. List goes on...
