They're going to elevate that game to another level, and nobody will be able to catch up. MVP got one game off of Flash and he's winning golds in the GOMTV cups. ForGG is gonna have that place on their knees | ||

That's quiet easy to explain. If you know, or don't know. BW has Bonjwas, which are players whom dominated soo hard, they practically own the scene. Boxer, iloveoov, Nada and recently Flash (depending on who you ask.) Their were another player named Savior whom were among that group. Only Zerg player in a Terran dominated list. Savior was loved a long time ago, than, out of the blue, a player named Bisu, came and 3-0ed him. During a time where Savior was considered almost unbeatable. After this, Savior basically slumped and disappeared. Than, several years after, Savior said he finally got over his mental game and is back to the scene. However, before he was able to really prove it, a rumor started going about Match Fixing. It caught the eye of Kespa, and they started to investigate it. After a little time has passed, Savior's name popped into the Match Fixing scandal, along with several others who went with it. It was proven and basically, all the players involved were Black Listed from BW forever (including Savior). All of his records were basically blacked out. That wasn't too long ago, it was pretty hurting to hear and find out to be honest. But I would like to say though, to the SC2 people whom are actually serious about trying to learn with an open mind. Thank you. It means quiet a lot to a lot of us. | ||

The Korean casters are analytical and predictive. Every time I watch a subtitled cast I learn things I'd never even thought about. Why the player is pushing out now instead of any other time. What specific thing the player is scouting for --- he's not just "scouting", he's looking for something specific, right now. As the game observer, you see exactly what's there and forget about what *could* be there, in the fog of war; and commentators help you get inside the progamers' heads and recreate the strategic thinking. Actually I often see Korean commentators ignoring the little stuff (OH NO HE LOST TWO MARINES SLOPPILY TO LURKERS) to carry on making a strategical point. The Korean commentators are great at analysis and prediction, they're usually spot on. Basically they spend most of the time explaining what MAKES the current game so exciting, and the rest of the time hollering their heads off. It's just great. Anyone who speaks Korean can correct me on this, but I'm pretty sure I'm right that the Korean casters go way beyond "yelling narrative casting." That's exactly what I cannot stand about most English-speaking youtube commentators. | ||

Some players were profiting through illegal gambling; they'd lose official matches on purpose, and would either make money by betting on themselves to lose, or were being paid off by higher-ups staking money on them losing (not sure which). It was illegal and it undermined the competition (who would sponsor a tournament where people lose on purpose?), so about 10 players got life bans, some of them very high-profile: Savior, Luxury, Yarnc, Hwasin, Upmagic, to name the most important. It was a pretty serious blow to Korean BW. Edit: The real tragedy is that these kids were in way over their heads. The brokers turned a profit of 140 million won, while the players made a couple million each, or sometimes didn't get paid. (One million Korean won is about 900 U.S. dollars or 640 euros.) They were just being manipulated. Edit2: And this is way off topic so we probably shouldn't be talking about it more here. Just wanted to answer that question. | ||

This is the first video I saw of Koreans pros that brought me in, couldn't believe what people were doing with the game.: I think highlight videos are great for newer people. Here are just a couple: + Show Spoiler [BoxeR(Terran)] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0_rryblADg + Show Spoiler [Nal-rA(Protoss)] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB7rn6Lsymo + Show Spoiler [sAviOr(Zerg)] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGAkoMuxuAY + Show Spoiler [Epic Compilations] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSLU_SCqzr0 | ||

I think a big reason why Koreans learned BW faster than foreigners is because they are exposed to such quality commentary on a daily basis. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=190074 Anyway, this game was amazing (commentated by Klazart <3): ^^ SaviOr (Z) vs Iris (T); two CJ Entus teammates duking it out. Iris was known for his very aggressive, in-your-face style (he later changed his name to Berserker). SaviOr the Maestro was known for being a Bonjwa and for his defensive swarm style, army movement, tactics and strategies (reading/manipulating the game flow). This game was the last (they were 2-2) in the OSL semifinals, so everything was on the line. Very intense game. + Show Spoiler [OSL results] + SaviOr 1st, Nada 2nd, Iris 3rd Also, for a general timeline on dominating players, you should check this topic (you'll learn something about chess grandmasters too! ;P): http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=270708 | ||

Boxer vs Hiya 2007 Proleague. In time when boxer was shadow of his past, but he came out with brilliant strategy that nobody can think of (even commentators was confused). | ||
