Is that a confirmation that Blizzcon 2017 will be foreigner only?

A better way to think about it is that he was the best non-Korean player for a while, during a pretty competitive time (IdrA, SEn, Jian Fei, Mondragon etc).

Why should I leave this topic? It's just funny that he achieved/did nothing in sc2 and yet u all behave like some kind of god is coming back.

I guess if fe Naama returns there is gonna be a topic also? After all he won the first dh, so he is entitled to it following tl logic.

I don't see it happening, he hasn't particularly impressed me at any point in his SC2 career. Too many young dedicated kids that are far more competitive than him. Best of luck tho.

I see some of you take some questions and a bit of sarcasm, a little bit to yourself.

To straight things out.

I've heard of Nony as I watch the scene since wol. My point wasn't to attack anybody. I checked tl bw/sc2 sites, 5 noticable places in bw tournaments, some ro's in sc2, googled to find out he was once suspended while being in teamliquid, and was just surprised. What's the big deal about that he's coming back.

Now I know a bit more, thanks to some who actually cared to response in a normal manner instead of dropping link to bw tournament that happened 7 years ago.

And I'm happy as usual that some people still come to this game and try, with it's current state as we all know it. I would LOVE for Naama to comeback, finals vs mana on that first dh were awesome! Comparison was just to point out my point of view.

Cheers

Rumour has it that any time naama's name is spoken anywhere in the world, luolis sits with his notebook waiting to once again learn ladder hero builds

If people want to be a public figure then they should recognize that they are putting themselves out there for public scrutiny. Not saying this in a hateful way, just being realistic and fair.

Even if I had a chance to be progamer, there is no way I would choose SC2. I love it, but not enough to risk my career. I'd probably play Hearthstone or OW.

Given an opportunity to pursue any career I wanted for one year, I would not choose SC2 as my career path.

Uh what does this have to do with anyone's specific financial situation? Its not a good move financially to be pro at sc2. There are no viewers, which means no individual sponsors, and which means the few remaining teams (which are pretty much all disbanded) have low salaries. Not a good move. How is this not clear from my post?

You're saying returning to SC2 is a bad decision purely because it's a bad financial one, which everyone including Nony knows. You said you can't reach top-level if it's 'just a hobby' which I interpreted 'you have to play full-time to reach top-level', even though Nony may have enough money to play full-time for a year without making a dollar from SC2. It's pretty silly for you to assume Nony didn't use his brain when deciding to return, and rude to be so dismissive of somebody obviously following their passion.

lol i was going to stop responding because people apparently don't like to acknowledge reality.

so i'll just say this, remember your snide holier than though responses to this post months from now, as team X,Y,Z announces disbanding and player A,B,C announce the switch to coaching a LoL team. Although I guess with EG disbanding their sc2 squad there really aren't any big teams to disband anymore. Team liquid is still around, but i'm not sure how many players on their roster are actually still active.

Even if it were naniwa or stephano who had way more success in sc2 than nony did announcing a return, i'd have the same response. it makes way more sense for nony to either go back to BW like many pros are, where he actually had legit success, or move on to LoL or DOTA where there's actual money

Did you actually read what the responses were? Did anybody, as a response to you, state that they thought SC2 was in a great state, or that they thought it was the best game to enter from a financial perspective?

You're just doom and glooming for no reason. Everyone here, as best I can tell, agrees with you that SC2 could be in a better state. But there's no point bringing it up here, because it's completely irrelevant to the topic. Had Nony said "I am returning to SC2 because I want to make a million dollars", then maybe your comments would actually have some merit.
