In Korea, #20 Hurricane and #22 KeeN have declined their spots, which allows #23 herO to compete in the RO36 play-in stage. #6 Zest, whose participation has been questionable for months, is included in the official list of RO24 players. In his most recent interview at DHM: Last Chance, Zest said he was still not entirely certain about his ability to participate due to military service. ![[image loading]](/staff/Waxangel/EPT/Katowice2022/katowicero24esl.jpg) ![[image loading]](/staff/Waxangel/EPT/Katowice2022/katowicero36esl.jpg)

 He said in his stream like one year ago, that he doesn t think, he ll ever Play at Lan, seems like he didn t change his mind (yet) On January 19 2022 05:34 dysenterymd wrote: Anyone know why Keen declined his spot? He's not the most storied of the military returnees but he was doing decently, I hope he's still playing. Probably because he doesn t want to travel for 350$.. He would realistically only beat 1-2 opponents Max before getting eliminated and he would probably have to spent the entire week. I Don t know, if he s actually a Pro or Amateur at this point, so it could be possible he simple doesn t want to take days of from whatever else he s doing when not playing.. | ||

In all seriousness, maybe he'll retire before we find out who he is. That would be an interesting arc, but probably an understandable one, however disappointing | ||

But man, you gotta have some pride in what you do, calling it quit to stay private when you have a shot a being the world champion and live changing money is a hard pill to swallow. With that said, hopefully he rip that band-aid off at some point The Starcraft 2 scene would be dearly missing if every weird loner would have stayed at home. (And I say that dearly as a fellow weird loner) (And if you readying, no one seriously care about what you look like Max Pax, like not at all) On the plus side, Zest is best and will live forever! | ||

Also giving the benefit of the doubt to MaxyPaxy for trying not to catch covid, but I guess he's still kind of shy on showing his face. Hopefully he can be bold and come at his own pace and comfort. We would love to support him more often and compete at a high level. Really cool that Zest can stay around the scene for a little bit longer. It's going to be a great competition overall. | ||

It's probably more a matter of social anxiety than the face's reveal itself - hood and shades would only bring more attention in a sense. Still, that's a quite sad turn of event, makes you wonder what Maxpax's plans are for the coming months with - hopefully - more and more events getting back offline. | ||

As Wax said, it doesn't HELP to speculate....but as a huge MaxPax fanboy I just can't help but feel so sad that he won't get a chance to shine on the biggest and brightest stage. I really believe in his potential. With a good bracket, round of 8 is conceivable and I want him to show the world what he's capable of. I totally respect his wishes. but selflishly FeelsBadMan | ||

Judging from the number, Liquidpedia showing higher amount, so I guess they counted events that Aligulac missed or did not consider (like Team League)? I am asking this because depending on which database is being used, someone might make or miss the milestone. I think ESL has been using Aligulac number so far. | ||

Yes he doesn't owe it to us and he has a right for privacy but when a professional competitor who has a lot of fans cheering for him doesn't attend the biggest event of the year for unknown reasons it's completely understandable that people wonder and speculate about his reasons. Without the fans he wouldn't earn any money | ||

So while the first part of your post is right (everybody can wonder why, myself included because I was initially surprised too), the second part of it is wrong. How infrequently he streams compared to how much he plays is a good show of how he treats subs and donations as a nice bonus, but absolutely not central to his living. | ||

However, the more likely theory is that he's autistic or something and being around too much sensory input or crowds would just be debilitating and he wouldn't be able to perform at his regular level. In the coaching video he did with Harstem, it was apparent that MaxPax was a little confused on how to handle social conversations. Now that's probably not super uncommon for a lot of 17-year olds who spents the majority of the time in their own room gaming. However, the thing that seemed unusual to me was that he didn't seem to understand the concept of "trash talking". Not in the sense that it was BM to trash talk but rather just seemed genuinely confused as to why Harstem joked about doing that. | ||

Really bad for MaxPax if he really has social anxiety or anything else. Reminds me of Satiini in WC3. Great player, but if I remember correctly he was afraid of flying and couldn't attend most events, right? I assumed MlorD would drop out, especially with N4C qualifiers being in that time-frame. I guess he has a good shot not only to qualify, but actually win N4C for some big money. Much better chances than in Poland. | ||

This kind of comment always appear when somebody acts against their expectations. Forgetting by the way there's individuals and not drones. He does what he wants, not what Mariano wants. And even if he could qualify as a jerk, compared to other active players he wouldn't be the worst of the lot. Interesting to see that, on the other hand, Nerchio throwing the usual lazy anti-Protoss ball doesn't draw that kind of comments. | ||

Armani got replaced by Ryung and details about the replacement process. 签证通过了，但是不知道17号能不能拿到，如果17号拿不到esl会算我弃权，如果能拿到，18号下午飞上海，凌晨会从上海飞往波兰参加此次iem katowice https://www.scboy.cc/?thread-308485.htm TIME's visa got granted but he doesn't know if he'll receive by the 17th which is the esl deadline. 首先好消息是签证中心收了文件。 坏消息就是这边审核比较严格，首先成都使馆和北京使馆不是一个部门 ，这边签证中心没有收到使馆新的通知 说我要办理文体签 他们收到的还是之前的通知是我要办商务签，所以在这方面他们重新和使馆沟通了很久。 然后是资料问题，我们都忙于回程机票等等杂七杂八的事情，忘记了另一个重要的资料 28号之后到回程航班期间的额外住宿预定单，现场仓促又无法提供 第二就是没有工作证明 这东西我们开不出来也不能造假 所以就空着 。但是理论上是不能没有的，“星际争霸职业选手”也不是一个有确切证明和依据的“职业” 。只靠银行流水是不够的。 第三就是esl草台班子在新的邀请函上 活动时间写错了 不知道是印刷问题还是粗心 比赛时间应该是21-28他写成了21-23，我们自己大意了也没仔细检查，签证中心发现了这个问题……好在之前的原件帮大忙 总而言之，签证中心就这些问题和使馆沟通，按照规则资料不齐全是不可以收的，但是特殊情况他们允许我出具一封正式的解释信，来说明这些问题。这个时间点esl的人没有上班，时间又很紧，我只好死马当活马医自己写然后付费翻译 拼一枪了。 另外因为最近回山西照顾病重的姥姥姥爷，电脑也带回去了没法在成都练习，所以只能选择邮寄 希望来得及吧。 gggl https://www.scboy.cc/?thread-308518-1.htm Cyan still isn't sure, the visa centre has received the necessary documents but there were couple issues so he was allowed to submit a formal letter of explanation (not sure about translation) to explain them. All we can do now is hope he gets approved. | ||

Here is the replacement info just released by ESL. TLDR: Armani can't go to IEM, his spot was replaced by Ryung. Classic was supposed to be the replacement but he does not have a passport ready (probably did not make one after his military service and not enough time to make a new one within such short notice) so Ryung got the spot instead. TIME and Cyan are still waiting for the visa application result. If Time fail to get his visa, Ro36 will generate an additional spot into Ro24. If Cyan fail to get his visa, his spot will be replaced by uThermal. | ||

Pretty unfortunate if that's the case. Since there is an outbreak in Korea, I hope the KR players are being really careful atm to be able to participate | ||

(In Korean though) Using google translate, here is what we get: The reason I didn't go to IEM Katowice this time wasn't because I didn't get a vaccine or to retire or something like that, but they said that Omicron is very serious overseas. In fact, recently, there was also a brother around me who went abroad and suffered from Omicron, and of course IEM persuaded me to proceed as safely as possible. My mother's opposition was so strong that I had to abstain. As a gamer, it's a pity that I can't participate in the most important tournament of the year, but I'll take a good rest and prepare well for GSL. Some gamer colleagues also contacted me, and I think there are people who are curious, so I am writing this. | ||
