Finishing in the top 3 of WCG Korea is much more impressive than getting to the finals at WCG itself.


And to get into 3 consecutive WCG finals, Stork had to finish in top 3 of WCG Korea 3 consecutive times? Easy?

this is all I have been trying to point out before 10 kids freaked out on me. All I am trying to say is this WCG sucks because our foreigners cannot even give the koreans a game worth watching anymore. It is sad.

uh lol this is completely different from what you were originally arguing



No actually it is not. My first post said that this WCG sucks and that our new foreigners are not as good as the old foreigners.... I think I am being proven right considering we have 0 foreigners left and other than Advokate taking a game from JD the rest were just complete rapes. And until I see this Advokate game I am gonna assume JD was being cocky and got beat by a cheese rush.

I dont think the level of foreigners has gone down. Its just that korea got so far ahead. The reasons most of games are like this is because korea sent their absolute best. The reason in the old wcg foreigners showed better games is not because these old foreigners were better than the new ones it was the korean scene wasnt as developed so the gap between the two was a lot smaller.

last thing I will post here since I can see all of you think the new school foreigners are so great.

if guys like Fisheye, Mondi, Blackman, Testie, Elky, Draco were in their youth and playing BW as much as the new foreigners at this time. They would be far far far better than what we are seeing from these foreigners at WCG. Back in the day the Foreigners were 1 maybe 2 steps behind the koreans. Today, the new crew of foreigners do not even belong to be in the same game as the koreans. Koll our last foreigner left looks like a D- iccup player vs Stork right now. That is what my point is, the old school players had more NATURAL skill bye all ~~~


Hmmm i recall boxer making blackman look like a complete newbie on lost temple at WCG.

Ok now this is where you dismiss this point and make another one.

Your an idiot, this is to the guy who thinks foreigners now are worse. Do you not realize how much the koreans play???? Since then there practice got ramped up to 10 hours at the least. Like your fucking kidding right? Do you have any idea, the royal raping new school koreans do to the old school crew? And natural talent is bs coming from a kid who has never spoken to a single good player in your life. Because they practiced the same amount as these new guys, mondragon spent ridiculous amounts of time perfecting his style. AND A HUGE FYI, new school kids just took games from pros, they do all the all the time, rets taken a game off of kal, white ra and g-5 beat boxer (which your old school kids could not do). Your lack of understanding of the scene serves as nothing but a laughing point for the rest of us.

foreigners scene was so much stronger back in the day... testie taking games off oov and midas.. almost beating the former in a bo3. legionnaire getting 3rd, androide 2nd. mondragon took a game off savior last year. we used to have foreigners who were actually good like testie, mondragon, androide, draco etc. i realize thatsome of these guys sytill play but they are not nearly as competitive as they once were .

You can't seem to comprehend more than a single sentence at a time so I'll put this down for you to process for the next 10 minutes.
Koreans are better now than in the past by a large magnitude.

scouts can't be used in a normal PvZ with protoss fe and normal spire timing by zerg. It takes longer to build and can't dodge scourge so it would probably die before scouting the z base or killing anything.

still amazing show of scout micro by stork. i actually think it could be effective on outsider if zerg only has slow hydras to defend the drones at that min only.

Seriously guys, Stork is undisputedly the greatest WCG Starcraft player of all time. I guess you can argue that Boxer is still ahead, considering he has 2 gold medals. But Stork could have 2 golds and 1 silver if he wins the final tomorrow.

foreigners got better
koreans got better by a much larger margin
therefore foreigners do worse now

i hope this makes sense

Even if Korea didn't send their best, I don't think the outcome would have been any different. I've never seen Stork open with 1 base probe suicide, 1 zeal harass into scout harass into mass goons sunken break. EVER. I've seen a few times with a mass goon timing break but Stork vs Koll was just abysmal.

Pj, a relatively new foreigner > all old foreigner


PJ has been playing SC for 9 years...
I hardly believe that you can call him a relatively new foreigner

its quite astounding though that he is able to play at that level for so long

What about Pj vs Bisu in the group stage? I thought it wasn't too bad. Also, both Stork and JD dropped a game in the quarters against Pj and Advokate, respectively. I did not watch them in livestream but I imagine if they took a game off each of their opponents, the game should have been competitive.
