There is no way to prevent a personality from getting paid to do what they do, so when compared to the best scenario for becoming the best foreign gamer in korea and actually winning a GSL they choose money over skill. Would you rather get paid well by being an entertainer living where you currently live, with people who speak your language or move to korea, grind ~12 hours a day, make no money, for up to years, just for a chance and a slim one at that to win a GSL.

Trouble is if US players trained like Korean ones (over ten hours a day, not going to college) that would be a rather silly life decision for most of them, as it would be in most other countries. The guy above who said that most US players are college kids with extra time pretty much hit the nail on the head.

The only difference is as others have said, time playing the game.

Drop everything in life and start playing the game 12 hours a day. And I mean actually playing the game, not doing what silly foreigner wannabes do and move into a "pro" house and then promptly slack off or start playing LoL or Dota all day. Hardcore practice sc2 and anyone can get to korean levels.

Even the best foreigners now don't play nearly as much as most Koreans and it constantly shows.

Though practice time is certainly a major factor, I still think one also needs (1) a comparable peer group and (2) coaching to improve to "Korean levels."
