The American Greg “IdrA” Fields has been handpicked by the professional gaming team eSTRO to move to South Korea and live the life of a professional gamer. The goal for all of the competitors in this tournament was to finish in the top five. The top five finishers were Greg “IdrA” Fields, Alex “Skew” Brola, David “Dino” Kent, Zhe “XiaOzI” Teng, and Jian Fei “Iefnaij” Wang.Those lucky five would move on to tryout against actual members of eSTRO, so their skill can be fairly judged. During the tryouts, the skill difference between the South Koreans and North Americans was evident. Even though, the North Americans put up a good fight in several of their games, none of them were able to bring home an actual victory. After careful review from eSTRO coaches and players they came to the conclusion that Greg “IdrA” Fields has the most potential out of the five. He is planning on moving to South Korea sometime in early 2008. This is an achievement that only four other North Americans have experienced: Miguel “Maynard” Bombach, Guillaume “Grrrr” Patry, Brian “Assem” Fransioli and Dan “Rekrul” Schreiber. Once he arrives to South Korea he will be training hard in hopes of improving his play enough to be useful in team leagues and individual tournaments. eSTRO's current Starcraft roster is as follows:   Rage[fOu] SangHo[Shield] Soha[saM] soyeon[WHITE] Tester[gm] TossLife[fOu] aMeBa[NsP] ArtOfZerg CCoMa Cool[fOu] ELIZA KiZoO_Bong Live[fOu] maGma[S.G] MinGu ArtOfTerran Bassen[fOu] By.Funny Ever)T(Che jaurim[fOu] NsP_Fancy Sea.Rally Suny[fOu] UpMagiCSOURCE: GGL |

there's no way it's going to work out imo, the chinese players that went over were much better than idra and even they couldn't do anything in that environment
ive been there its a lovely country
IdrA is actually better than the majority of Chinese, and he has gone even with PJ/LX in the past. So you're misinformed.

Korean is actually easier to learn than a lot of European languages are. It doesn't take years and years and years to understand it. In fact, I memorized the entire alphabet and the exact sounds (to the best of my knowledge, which were pretty close when I had Korean friends test me) within a few days. The language is extremely efficient... other than the very confusing social lingo that's necessary of course.
With the above said, I'm not implying that it can be written/spoken in a week or month, but you can definitely learn enough to build solid relationships with only a few rigorous months of study.
