Was following the GSL quali's the whole day and your's and Kiwi's failure to qualify was a total bummer. How do you think the skill level of players compares between Koreans and foreigners now that you have experienced Korea first hand? Do you think the gap will widen if foreigners don't get their act together fast or there is no gap whatsoever and that the foreigners will be fine even if they don't set up practice houses and stuff Seeing how abysmal Protoss' performance is, what do you think Protoss players must improve on. Do you see Protoss as the weakest race or the results are just a byproduct of the maps / player qualities? And are you still confident that Huk will give a good showing knowing the maps and that PvZ is his weakest matchup? I think non-koreans compare quite favorably. What I do REALLY notice is the server segregation makes cross realm play hard. NA players are much more macro based and have a huge variance in their play which makes the game completely different. Of course the skill on average is higher on the korean server and top top players are still better than the tops of non-kor but I really feel like if the top non-kors trained in korea they would qualify consistently and start to make head ways in how they do as far as ro32 and onward is concerned. IdrA LITERALLY trains on the fucking ladder. If he had a house of Machine, myself, iNkA etc etc + good korean connections (we are working on that) he would be more than a force to reckon with. And that goes beyond him as well. Training with the korean atmosphere in addition to living with other progamers is incredibly progressive for SC2 training. Nothing compares. As for protoss players I dunno. I am one of the last people to cry imbalance but I really feel we have it rough at the moment. Zerg can roach/ling aggression with standard macro (no risk to them) and then switch to muta or vice versa at no risk to them. P needs to detect either and respect it 100% or die. They of course can 5 gate all-in but who wants to admit that the standard is an all-in? Who wants a game where a race has to do that? I don't necessarily think it is THAT bad yet.. there is more to be developed but certainly atm it is really hard. | ||

Quick question, will the things you learn in Korea greatly improve your coaching? Cause if that's the case then that's another incentive to toss down the bills for a lesson. I was looking for one before in that PM, but I was looking to get Sheth, but Sheth.. yeah.. haha | ||

Well there's always next season, and hey like you said you were only 1 game away from making it. Quick question, will the things you learn in Korea greatly improve your coaching? Cause if that's the case then that's another incentive to toss down the bills for a lesson. I was looking for one before in that PM, but I was looking to get Sheth, but Sheth.. yeah.. haha Absolutely. I feel my understanding of this game has achieved a new level. I really feel like I am approaching a sick good read on this game. Execution is obviously harder but my coaching is/has benefited tremendously. | ||

.If you had the choice between dedicating yourself to the GSL and staying in Korea or travelling around to the various events such as MLG, IEM etc; which would you choose? Obviously in an ideal world you'd want to do both, but seeing the way GSL works that probably wont be possible. | ||

It's sad to see you and Kiwikaki weren't able to qualify b/c we need more protoss foreigners in this GSL. If we have another TvZ final I swear to god... | ||
