I would too :x

It's scary to consider what the natural-born talent vs. practice equation looks like for StarCraft II.

I wouldn't worry about that, for all the hype I don't see any of these guys or their foreign equivalents competing in GSL ever.

Thank you for bringing light to these potential talents. Teams need to start looking at a new generation of players instead of the existing known veterans, who have had their shots and probably have capped their potential already.

The foreign scene has always had the talent, but it's simply untapped. It's also interesting how these students who play in their free time are able to beat the "top" NA pros who are on major teams.
