Yeah, they can take the odd series from time to time, but there are probably less than 5 foreigners in the top 100 of the world. | ||

Not to say that practicing a lot doesn't help you, but I think there's also the fact that many of the top Koreans are simply more talented. Anyone who has any RTS talent in Korea takes a chance at becoming a pro, unlike here. | ||

Not too sure about that :S | ||

Naniwa has yet to do anything in the GSL except losing every single of his code a games. Huk could posibly hang around the lower ends(Round of 32-16) imo. Stephano we will never know really. | ||

HuK has stayed in code s for a while, he could had been in code s this session since he was placed highest in the up&down, but he got knocked down unfortunately stephano could make to code S too, he has the potential definitely. | ||

I don't see foreigners catching up to korean skill in who knows how long, just might never happen like bw but I do think we will always have foreigners who will be able to compete with the koreans just not to many imo. But boy would I love to be proven wrong  Totally agree. Really looking forward to this IPL and a few wins from foreigners would certainly be awesome to see. | ||

His execution was also just insane. His absolutely phenomenal micro gives him a depth of options that other players, even among other korean terrans, just don't have. It also seems like he's not clearly dividing bio and mech strategies like a lot of other players have been doing, and oh wow does it look strong in his hands. | ||

Not to mention pretty much every foreign person who entered GSL failed miserably and only two had a slight moment of hope, then fell out to code B shortly after. Right now though with the foreign team houses coming into play and players taking it more serious, we're starting to see a select few people be able to really get closer and closer to really compete. I'll really love to look back in one year and see how things are then. | ||
