북미지역 1위 타일러, 이스트로 입단


[이스트로 제공]프로리그 무대에 서는 것을 1차 목표로 삼겠다


[image loading]


WCG 북미지역 1위를 차지했던 타일러(22, 프로토스)가 이스트로 프로게임단에 입단했다.

타일러 (ID : Liquid’NonY)는 지난 9월 IEG가 개최한 Scforall Spirit Tournament 에서 1위를 차지하며 이스트로 입단의 기회를 잡게 되었고 이후 WCG USA 2008 1위 , WCG Grand Final 에서 8강에 들며 실력을 인정받았다.

WCG 대회 종료 후 이스트로 입단을 위해 지난 11월에 입국한 타일러는 2주간 이스트로 2군 선수들을 상대로 입단 테스트를 거쳤으며, 가능성을 확인한 코칭 스태프의 결정에 따라 입단이 확정되었다.

1986년생인 타일러는 플로리다 출생으로서 미국내 명문대인 Duke대에서 철학을 전공했을 정도로 명석한 두뇌의 소유자. scforall.com에서 진행했던 이벤트 매치에서 STX의 박성준 선수와의 경기 VOD가 큰 화제가 될 정도로 독특한 경기 스타일을 선보이며 눈길을 끌었다.

이스트로에 입단이 확정된 타일러는 "이스트로에 입단하게 되어 매우 기쁘다. 코칭스탭과 선수들이 잘 대해줘서 적응하는데 큰 어려움이 없을 것 같다. 빨리 실력을 향상시켜 프로리그 무대에 서는 것을 1차 목표로 삼겠다"라고 입단 소감을 밝혔다.

2주간 타일러를 지켜본 김현진 감독은 "아직 보완해야 할 점이 많다. 하지만 기존의 잘못된 습관 등 몇 가지 부분만 보완한다면 충분히 국내무대에서 활약할 수 있는 가능성을 엿보았다"말했다.

그렉 필즈(CJ , 테란)에 이어 타일러까지. 외국인 선수들의 한국 무대에 대한 도전이 이어지는 가운데 앞으로 이들의 큰 활약을 기대해본다.

North America’s 1st place player Tyler `NonY` Wasieleski has joined e-STRO

After winning WCG USA 1st place, Tyler was chosen for the e-STRO team in Korea.

Tyler (NonY) has proven himself by winning the SCForAll Spirit Tournament as well as winning the 2008 WCG USA National qualifier.

After the WCG Grand Final event when he came to Korea, Tyler had to prove himself to the team by playing against the e-STRO B team. After 30 games with the e-STRO B team players, NonY had shown his ability and skills to the e-STRO coaching staff, and they were very impressed.

Tyler is from Florida, born in 1986. He majored in Philosophy at Duke University so there was no doubt about his cleverness. His game at SCForAll against JulyZerg (click here for the VOD) in a showcase match became a really hot issue with his firm and macro style of play.

At the interview he said `I’m really happy to join e-STRO, I do not really have any problems that I worried about before I came here. Everyone has been so kind to me. My first goal is to play a Pro League match in Korea`.

After watching Tyler’s (Nony) games for 2 weeks, e-STRO head coach Kim Hyun Jin aka kOs, made a statement saying `NonY is really skilled and has a good playing style for foreigner, but he stills has many things to fix, there are many bad habits that I see. I personally think he should work on new skills and learn it as quick as he can in order to play in Korea`.

After bringing Greg (Idra) from the foreign scene, we are looking forward to the new foreign players who will eventually end up here in Korea on a pro team.

some people are writing
"GIYOMM"
"Hes got some balls to do progaming instead of going to duke"
"Wow he must be really good"
"Can't wait to see him"

To be honest, Nony is getting ALOOOOT more praise than Idra. I mean seriously, nobody in the shithole community of Fomos is actually saying anything bad to him

"he likes bisu kekekekekekekekeke he gotta watch his ass (??? is bisu gay?)"

one guy is skeptical about Nony actually a student of Duke and wrote stuff like
Faggot: "The Duke university we know is probably not the one he goes to. Look at New York, there are 60 different colleges under the name of NYU, does that mean people from New York all go to the NYU we know? Nony probably goes to some community college under the name of Duke"
Netizen: This is the biggest pile of shit I've ever read in my life
Netizen: You are a faggot
Netizen: words cannot describe how stupid you are
Netizen: Why can't you do some research you faggot?
Netizen: LOL JEALOUS MUCH?
Netizen: AHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Netizen: KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKKEKE
Netizen: You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Do you like talking shit about stuff you don't know? Are you fucking trolling? Honestly I don't think you're trolling you're just fucking stupid

Haha. But how come it's such a big deal for the koreans that he attended duke university?
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL
