After winning WCG USA 1st place, Tyler was chosen for the e-STRO team in Korea.
Tyler (NonY) has proven himself by winning the SCForAll Spirit Tournament as well as winning the 2008 WCG USA National qualifier.
After the WCG Grand Final event when he came to Korea, Tyler had to prove himself to the team by playing against the e-STRO B team. After 30 games with the e-STRO B team players, NonY had shown his ability and skills to the e-STRO coaching staff, and they were very impressed.
Tyler is from Florida, born in 1986. He majored in Philosophy at Duke University so there was no doubt about his cleverness. His game at SCForAll against JulyZerg (click here for the VOD) in a showcase match became a really hot issue with his firm and macro style of play.
At the interview he said `I’m really happy to join e-STRO, I do not really have any problems that I worried about before I came here. Everyone has been so kind to me. My first goal is to play a Pro League match in Korea`.
After watching Tyler’s (Nony) games for 2 weeks, e-STRO head coach Kim Hyun Jin aka kOs, made a statement saying `NonY is really skilled and has a good playing style for foreigner, but he stills has many things to fix, there are many bad habits that I see. I personally think he should work on new skills and learn it as quick as he can in order to play in Korea`.
After bringing Greg (Idra) from the foreign scene, we are looking forward to the new foreign players who will eventually end up here in Korea on a pro team.
