I agree with nirvAnA on that count that glade's probably the best chap in SEA to head to GSL, i believe glade also mentioned that his sponsors are trying to send him there so we're here cheering him on. I'm cheering him on as a fan along with many others! /o/
But I'm sure others will be cheering him on to go to GSL so they have a chance to win 25 bucks on sunday, lol.
Anyhow, there's already a huge gulf in difference between the Korean scene and the US/European scene for sc2, I mean the caucasians/TLers in Korea just aren't doing well at all. Maybe we'll have to wait for Huk next season to see if his Protoss can make any headway in Korea.
And then there's a gulf in difference between our top 200 in ladder and the US top 200. No offence to our top 200, I'm sure we've got some rock solid players who would make the top 200 in NA but it'll be much harder because the NA/European/Korean scene have a much livelier pro-gaming scene in SEA, and as for Singaporean pro-gamers, ours is next to non-existent.
And with ice enlisting in the army soon, and nirvAnA being married and all, and basically the rest of the Singaporeans playing after hours and not for a job, its like sending the Vanuatu football team which comprises of weekend warriors, teachers and plumbers to Brazil to play their national team. So yeah, I don't wanna quench someone's dream to go to Korea and make a name for himself, because honestly there's nothing I'd like better than to see a Singaporean right up there at the world stage laying the smackdown on the likes of TLO or Idra or NEXGenius or any progamers, but as a country, we're just way far behind at the moment.
