IefNaij, NonY, July and KaL in SCforAll showmatch
iefnaij, julyzerg, kal, mym, nony, scforall, starcraft
Julyzerg is back, taking OSL titles like candies from babies. Who can take him down? None of the Koreans but perhaps an answer lies outside the lair of StarCraft progaming...SCForAll came up with a great idea to drag top notch Koreans onto a battlefield where they will face some of the best non-Koreans, how exactly will it look like?
First match will be between the fearsome 
STX_Kal and the champion of Teamliquid Star League 
MYM.IefNaij, followed by a match featuring 
Julyzerg (yes, that guy who's just won OSL for 3rd time) and one of the best players USA currently has 
NonY. For all of us mortals in the StarCraft universe VODs of both matches will be released on SCForAll, most likely later this week. This is just a prelude of a much bigger plan, yes believe or not but getting hottest Zerg to play vs foreigners just isn't hot enough for SCForAll as the upcoming project is of even greater magnitude.
Quite soon there will be a large tournament which will have one purpose, bringing even more foreigners to the Korean pro scene - Have the Koreans finally recognized the potential foreigners have? Let's hope so. Unlike the previous events of that sort this time several players will get a chance to become progamers and fulfil their dreams. As for now we can only wait for that event to open its gates, in the meantime we'll have to satisfy with four names mentioned above displaying their skills for our entertainment and their pride.
UPDATE: The VODs from these matches have just been released, so click on the links below to watch them:

IEG (SCforall.com)is doing their Buisness. They have got the broadcasting rights for the korean SC leagues and they seek any income they could get. It is a fact that the worldwide Broodwar Community is growing atm because of SC2. Why not give them a chance. Gom TV was a success and obviously they want to involve the non koreans more in Korea. If we have ProGamers from different Nations not only the Broodwar Community wants to see them play. If they place foreign progamers in every team (what is a goal of them) and broadcast the proleague and MSL in English many people will view it. (Ya I think at least the PL after the next PL will be also broadcasted in english). And there is another positive effect. I think the koreans would enjoy foreign pro gamers. It would give SC a boost in Korea, maybe more koreans would view the games and that is the main goal of the organisation that holds the broadcast rights. So you see it can be a good plan on the long run to invest in the foreign community for IEG. Before I finish regarding SC2: The big worldwide SC2 Community would also watch a fameous foreign SC1 pro-gamer competing in Korea, at least if its one of their country. So this can be far more than only cost effective for IEG. Lets hope for the best.
