Foreigners will need to wait for HoTS where there will be a metagame (heh) reset and they will again stand a chance at winning some tournaments. When things stabilise, foreigners will quickly fall behind again.

You can argue those were not top koreans that naniwa beat. And "compete" implies more than falling out in the first round past group stage.

You can't say that GSL is the only competition where you can judge skill, and then say that the people in code S aren't top players.
