hey guys just asking. has anyone here registered for this compt? cos my fren has registered and asked whether anyone form singapore has registered.

**Apth** · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 4:31 PM

You mean GSL? Like fly to Korea and compete with people like Fruitdealer GSL?

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 4:43 PM

yup. i think so. u can go gomtv.net to see.

**Apth** · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 5:11 PM

Yeah GSL usually trumps studying at the moment. Who's your friend? Anyone we might have heard of?

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 5:14 PM

i dont think so. just asking whether anyone from sg has entered so maybe they can go together?

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 7:40 PM

anyone from singapore going to korea?

**DFM** · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 7:45 PM

I doubt anyone else will be going. As awesome as it would be, SG players aren't up to standards yet IMO and the top players know it. We can definitely compete if our top players could train full time, but IIRC that isn't the case. Right now chance of qualifying are next to none and that's definitely not worth the plane ticket, unless you're going on holiday there too lol

**nirvAnA** · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 7:54 PM

what is ur friends ID?

i think the only person who has a realisitc chance qualifying for GSL is moonglade

everyone else either doesnt play that much to get good or does but isnt talented enough

moonglade = lots of hard work + lots of talent which is like ultimate combo

Not to mention dashing good looks!

BTW GLaDe will be in Japan while GSL is on most likely, otherwise he may have been competing or so I heard. Leg will be in Korea in December.

I think you are underestimating some SEA players - they rig the qualifier brackets for foreigners and with the right bracket I am sure a dozen or so players would have a chance at the top64!

Couldn't agree more with this. Really hoping glade makes the trip over tho

edit: actually i think a few of us could have more than a 'realistic' chance of qualifying, i mean, there are some seriously horrible players in the Ro64 and even Ro32 from what I've seen, but it'd all depend on brackets etc. But Glade's the only person that I think could have a decent shot at a placing worth traveling over for.

But then again, you get people who are extremely good like tester who didn't even qualify.

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 8:01 PM

hmmmm. true...but he really wants to go. haha. should i stop him? co she told me when he asked that person who emailed him about the compt, he said there were ppl from sg goin.

Your friends a guy-girl? AWESOME

NVM

FatHuntresS · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 8:06 PM

yea only moonglade can compete now.. glade should go. would like to see that =P

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 8:33 PM

yeah. i agree. haha

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 8:34 PM

but shouldnt all of us give a try? haha as in the diamond players here tht r in top 200

**Mezza** · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 9:11 PM

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.

lmao i love this analogy, hahaha

FatHuntresS · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 10:35 PM

Tl;dr conclusion = glade

MrNayNay · Thu, 4th-Nov-2010, 11:40 PM

hmmm. so my friend shouldnt go for the monent huh. haha!

**Mezza** · Fri, 5th-Nov-2010, 1:58 AM

by all means if he's got the monetary ability to do it, and he's in it for the life experience, go! it is after all kickass. and most of the diamond league players would kill for the oppurtunity to go

but just bear in mind that at the end of the day, you need to get real, and alot of hard work needs to be put in, and top 200 of SEA server isn't the end of the road.

MrNayNay · Fri, 5th-Nov-2010, 2:11 AM

hmmm. i agrre mezza. i wish him all the best!. XD

FatHuntresS · Fri, 5th-Nov-2010, 11:54 AM

why dont u invite glade to go with you & your friend and if he wins u can split the prize money and if not then go eat kimchi .

Zaurus · Fri, 5th-Nov-2010, 12:35 PM

Progaming licenses are only for SC1, when it says GSL Open, it means Open.

MrNayNay · Fri, 5th-Nov-2010, 1:00 PM

hmmm. but does he want to go? and is glade even reading this thread?

MrNayNay · Fri, 5th-Nov-2010, 3:48 PM

hmmm. cos my fren will need to go to korea on 14th november to 16th. and he just wanna know if there is anybody goin. cos he is like afraid to go alone. HAHA

MrNayNay · Sun, 7th-Nov-2010, 12:07 AM

so no one from south east asia going?

**nirvAnA** · Sun, 7th-Nov-2010, 12:55 AM

i think if your friend actaully posts his nick here he will get alot of support and the possibility of some1 joining him will be a whole lot higher

iSt · Sun, 7th-Nov-2010, 1:21 AM

i might be there. just to get autographs and give away a free win to whoever plays against me

haha gogo team SEA!

QuestionMark · Sun, 7th-Nov-2010, 2:38 AM

I agree with some people and also disagree with some.

I think showing support for people that just wants to have some fun or learning experience would be good wouldn't it? Who knows some SEA tycoon happened to be there and notices the e-sports scene then it'd benefit us. Lol.

Also, instead of comparing with some well-established players, and say "No you shouldn't waste your time".. I believe there are still hidden talents that needs grooming and also some players do better under pressure.

I don't know how it works over there but overall, you should at least get some pointers or practice matches.
