They already have the SC2 Player Association, but all they seem to do is stop Koreans from streaming.

They don't even do that since Rainbow, San, and Hwangsin (before he got signed by Gosu ), Slayers_Dragon etc all stream regurally,

Okay, suggest that Koreans don't stream, not stop :p

They are no worse than any other NA based team
col reached the final of eg master cup ( they played against a lot of good teams to reach the final).

other than the tilting idra eg have no other good player.
incontrol is a joke.
lzgamer is useless.
machine try his best and blame it on his race when he lose.
strifecro and axlav are suppose to be the known 2v2 players in na and they got raped in every 2v2 series.
demuslim was good but the metagame shifted a lot when his injury happened.

bottom line, EG is desperate an need players that can win huge tournaments

I have never seen him whine about his race, at least as an excuse. I don't follow him that much though.
At least this Puma thing can help Demuslim and IdrA. Maybe he will get motivated and actually starts practicing more than 3h

Its funny how this happened a few hours after sirscoots was on live on 3 talking about sk/fnatic and their player "stealing" drama. His opinion on the matter was consistent with how EG acquired Puma: the issue is between the player and his old team, the new team is nothing to do with it.

Rough Translation summary (not my translation, took from TL)

Korean SCII scene is becoming "farm" for foreign team

1. As of now, there is no contract between players and teams.
2. Infrastructure needs to be setup ASAP to prevent moves like this possible.
3. current SCII organization is not doing much.
4. Foreign SCII scene is becoming huge and Korean SCII scene needs to grow

I wonder if this will encourage Kespa style organizations to form in korea.

that will never happen as long as BW scene is still alive, and i hope it doesn't die.

Everything is moe to me
i for one hope korea stays disorganized. im much happier with koreans coming here to na teams to steal catZ's money then to have korean teams just randomly show up for events and then go home.

I hope the scene goes completely international and any organization created in Korea to manage players & teams includes EU & NA teams.

do you use the relocalizer tool?
if yes, run relocalizer.bat and pick option 3.
run repair tool.
the repair tool will tell you what locals are installed.
delete your non default local.

for example: i have enUS/enGB installed.
i go to the base starcraft folder and search "enGB" and delete every file that pops up.
blam: your starcraft works again.

now just wait for a 1.3.5 compatible relocalizer patch

Pretty sure something will come up now, maybe not as crazy as kespa, but probably something that will organize the team/player relationship and prevent something like this from happening in the future.

But why preventing it? If you want your player, just get him under a proper and legally binding contract. Or should sweden players "organize" something to prevent good sweden players getting "stolen" by NA/EU*/KR teams? Hell no, this is an international scene :p

Koreans should have more incentive to get into SCII. GSL is awesome, but it is the most competitive and the least rewarding (for short term) out there, if you are THE winner, you are awesome, or if you are top4, but koreans need to start regularly doing a 2-day championship each month, with a moderately huge prize pool, so everyone has a chance through simple double/single elimination.

Good morning GAF!

I solved the

problem by just changing the koKR back to enGB and repair :)

That's what I'm getting at.

Don't want to lose your aces ? put that shit in writing.

I'm surprised they already weren't :eek: Even Scoots have said multiple times their players are under a legally binding contract.

EG so desperate for good players they're signing Koreans not even good enough to make the GSL.

Yeah those koreans not even good enough to make GSL like DongRaeGu, they're terrible!

if there is not contract then the players can do whatever the hell they want.

he whined recently about zerg 200 supply army being cost inefficient.

i agree that eg is desperate, but there is a lot of code S material players in code b (drg and MMA come to mind).

yeah right..............
you have to recognize problems before you can address them. destiny idnt go infestor endgame because he thought roach/hydra was fine. toss didnt figure out 3gate expands because forge first was universally safe, terrans dont do harass if they dont have a problem playing passive, etc, etc.

complaining is not whining.
 
Good for EG. I wonder if Puma is going to stay in Korea or move into the team house in America. Since he's not in Code S he wouldn't really be losing anything if he did.

great move for EG. they were in dire need of another top player in addition to idra. don't have a problem with them approaching players directly. despicable my ass

TSL is just sour their players are leaving for greener pastures. As long as they've got Cliiiiide there's nothing to worry about anyway.

Thanks for playing with us last night ksan! It seemed to me that the latency from Sweden wasn't that bad. Hope you show up for more GAF nights!
Haha, it was awesome, I'll try to join up again asap!
And ye, the latency is pretty good actually, I mean I made it to master league without the lag hindering me :p

My RAT9 just died as my observer saw a big push from the Terran I was up against. Fastest battery reload I've ever done. Phew! Managed to win, 3gate robo has got me my first win streak of 3. Not bad since I've only won 10 games! :p

I fracking love this game to death, but I think I'm better off just watching it as a spectator than playing it (other than custom games) because it's just too stressful for me! My hands were shaking as our groups collided, even though I was confident since at that point he only just had an expansion up and running and I had an early expansion + a third one on it's way. Chargelots + collosi ripped up his mm ball while the immortals took care of his siege tanks. :D Ahh I still love this game, winning feels great!

Just did a ladder game and got to play against a masters zerg.

Mass marauders against mass zerglings on 2 base.

Win.

Boss.

Lost my internet since monday and my first thought was "well fuck, I'm going to miss Gaf Night." This is before thinking about paying off my credit card bills, finalizing my classes in the fall, looking for a new job, etc. And now that I'm back I only have one question: Did they nerf protoss and terran to shit yet?

no they didn't.
but i'm expecting an infestor nerf in the near future and removing hts from the game.

edit: damn choya is streaming, no wonder i've been getting shitton of dt rush today.

Alright as of tommorrow night im going hardcore back into starcraft. There is a 10,000$ tournament in my region in a couple of weeks and I am going to train my ass off so I can lose in style. Think I can learn terran good enough in that time or just stick to my savvy swarm?

Switching race 2 weeks before a major tournament? Awesome.
