Anyways, when your examples are from 13 years ago, it's pretty safe to say that no foreigner will be able to qualify "legitimately" for ASL. | ||

Anyways, when your examples are from 13 years ago, it's pretty safe to say that no foreigner will be able to qualify "legitimately" for ASL. I have never acted like Scan counts as a "foreigner", I have not even mentioned that word. What makes you draw that conclusion? Well... how many offline tournaments with a mix between Koreans and non-Koreans have we had the last 13 years? Please... I've said 10000-times that we most freaking likley will never have a non-Korean in a premier tournament and that it would take more than is even realistic to reach that! Look at post #3,#5, #40, #43 #51, #54, #60... my god... how is it possible to say anything more clear? My god... | ||

White-Ra had Stork down 3-1 WCG2007 (incl. tie-breakers; even if it was slightly questioned if Stork actually threw a few games to avoid another Korean in the Final bracket). And perhaps there are more games that I do not recall from the top of my head. All these were offline matches in one of the largest tournaments. These games, and all the other wins proove that it would not be the first time a non-Korean could compete with the elite. Not saying anything about today though. Even if it's still nearly impossible. In 2007 Mondragon beat Savior in the group stage. He took a game off Reach in some event and beat Zeus 3-0. Advocate took a game off Jaedong (2009 I think?). Other than that, you would have to go back to like 2001 to find non-korean wins. Maybe Fisheye in 2003 won something. | ||

Language barrier is also another big factor, you really need to speak Korean to understand the highest level of gameplay/tactics of the pros. BW is such a deep game that is still constantly changing and not knowing the language just puts you behind. Unfortunately without fulfilling the 2 criteria it will be a long road if a foreigner were to make it to ASL. | ||

Why would "throwing games" not be as much of an an issue back then with Koreans doing it in WCG, as it was with other players actual match fixing? And how is it proven? How can you 100% say that Stork threw the games vs White-Ra just so they "wouldn't knock each other out of the tournament", for what? Korean Pride? | ||

I heard F91 only won because he did the wrong build for the map whereas Idra did the build that counters the build any food player would have done. | ||

I can offer only money. There's a lot of dormant SC1 players (retired ones, SC2 players etc). I think an online series would revive a lot of interest in the game. Like a 5K first place prize should be enough to garner enough interest. Mixing koreans with foreigners is not that great of an idea unless it's a team game (where each team gets a korean pro or smth like that). If you want to get some money back on your investment, a series (like ESL is for SC2) is probably better than a one-off. | ||
