So well i was having a bad day on iCCup and so i decide to bash bunches of noobs on US East. then comes along this guy named KoRea_Terran. and well.... he is Korean. he says hes B and his name is Kim Tek Young. if that rings a bell to nayone just tell me.

Well....anyway. earlier this week i actually got over my fear of Koreans on iccup because i felt at the same level of play as some of them. Well....i think i discovered a new world.

Is it just me or are Koreans just good at this game cause to them it is a real sport. I mean to me Starcraft for life. It is a sport to me, but are they "better" because it is real sport there?

I don't know how you people can even play on Blizzard servers, not having lan latency makes me want to throw the computer out the window. Also, East is full of D+ newbies, koreans mostly hang out on West.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

That's a way to put it I guess, having them being exposed to it as a sport generally leads to more people playing, which leads to higher general level. Let's take baseball for example - a lot of Americans play it in their free time because it's a popular sport, and while they're not super good players, they're still better than me. I don't even know most of the rules, etc.

However, I feel the level is somewhat equal around the A- ranks, judging by TSL qualifiers performance. It then gets raised again, but above that rank you're likely playing progamers, so the analogy gets stretched thin a bit.

At least have the decency to spell your own "name" correctly.

playing w/o LAN latency adds a different twist. It forces you to rely on smaller "cute" details of the game (muta micro T_T).

They're better because they put more time into it than anyone else. Which eventually lead it to become a sport and everything.

I guess regular ICCUP games aren't a challenge enough for Koreans - instead they find it more challenging to pit themselves against players with map hacks, bots, and huge egos.

i guess you keep losing games on D because your opponents are simply better than you. increasing your ranking by picking weaker opponents really doesnt make you a better player.

There are a number of decent players on East and most are Korean.

They are better because they have more resources available to them.

Actually thats my friend lol, his name is "Kim Tae Yong" theres no "K" at the end of the second part. He likes to screw around with hackers on East and tries to see if he can win.

Who the fuck relies on micro in laggy ass latency? Way to have a shitty post leejas. Usually i won't hit the post button for something like this but you giving heat for him subtituting a 1 for an L then posting nonsense makes me want to say f u.

Non lan lat makes micro pretty worthless and rewards a macro player who can produce the most units and put them into a defensive position. Attacking is retarded ugly on non-lan.
