Koreans arent unbeatable in sc2, for some reason people seem to be implying they are untouchable like they were in BW | ||

anyway, how do foreigners rank in sc2? i imagine it'll definitely be closer in terms of skill, but can we expect to see a foreigner win the WCG with sc2? or is it going to be like 1st 2nd 3rd korea again? i think i read jinro is pretty good.. i have no clue with sc2 haha maybe i should try watching it again | ||

the game still has plenty of fans, including foreigners, outside of south korea. who cares if a korean will win wcg again? or that many foreigners don't play bw anymore?? the foreigner fan database for bw is still huge! almost all of us on this site are foreigners.. how can you say this makes sense?? even if there aren't "many" foreigners competing in wcg bw, many of the spectators at wcg will still comprise of foreigners.. | ||

The analogy on the previous page was good-ish although modified a bit.... It would be pretty similar to putting American Football in the Olympics. Nobody actually plays it outside of USA, competitively... Given that WCG is the Olympics of gaming, it doesn't really make sense to have a game there which can only be competitive for Korean players. For those saying that SC2 is still Korean dominated, it is, but at least it has foreigners competing at the top level (Jinro, Idra, HuK, etc.) as opposed to BW nowadays. | ||

I don't hate Starcraft 2, but it makes me kind of mad that Brood War is dying faster and faster in the non Korean community. I think eventually I will be forced to play only Starcraft 2, but my heart is still with Brood War.  | ||

IM_MVP (korean) 2. PRIME_MKP (korean)LIQUID_Jinro(swedish) 3. ST_Bomber (korean) Best of Zerg: 1. IM_Nestea (korean) 2. EG_Idra(american) ZENEX_Kyrix(korean) ST_July(God of War) Best of Protoss: 1. OGS_MC(korean) 2. ST_Squirtle(korean) 3. ZENITH_San(korean)LIQUID_Huk (Canadian) note; sanzenith ONLY based on this gsl, he would be listed in possibly one of the worst pro gamers ever pre this GSL. and thats solely based on the GSL, liquid tyler could definitely compete with them, similarly Whitera(when he is practicing) alot of Mouzsports, and machine (until he runs into incontrol as is inevitable in every event ever) EDIT: a huge advantage foreigners have is the korean players are super stylistic. very few are very adaptable and have a ton of strategies, those that DO, tend to be weaker at everything than those who are stylistic. MKP uses bio better than everyone, but it's all he can really do amazingly. MVP is good at pretty much everything but has a limited number of openers. Kyrix and july are both best when hyper agressive. MC has his typical 2 base play he is best at and then his skill drops off a bit (except 4 gate vs P). Nestea has two paths he can take that both end the same tech tree, and thats all he has. meanwhile the foreigners have a bunch of different strategies (except IdrA) and can perform them pretty much all very well. making it harder to prepare for them than for the koreans. | ||

Without scbw, there is no sc2 existing today. Kids these days... Not including scbw in WCG is logical, since foreigners cant compete with them, but saying it needs to die is stupid and wrong. | ||
