there is not NEARLY as many people who are trying to become progamers in europe as korea, hence korea will always have more people and therefor more practicepartners no matter what which will in most cases lead to higher skill. the analyzing part is true indeed but how many team leaders in europe / america do you think have played starcraft or RTS on a high level? I can guarantee very very few or none. The koreans always stick together and will always work against the foreigners , surely this is a mistake in the foreigner community indeed ( we could do the same ) But right now the koreans are better obviously and there are alot more dedicated players in korea . This is how it works -> If im going to practice to play a korean there is a very high chance they will leak what im practising to that player ( why ? ) Because thats how the "korean pride" works. I am not korean, so therefor this is an issue i cant overcome without learning korean. obviously i can trust the startale players because we have a partnership with them, but other than that its every korean together against all foreigners. ( Nestea discussing strategys with 10 koreans before playing me for example. )
if you think this is fair conditions to judge someones skill. then i havent really got anything else to say. Maybe its my fault for not studying korean for 2 years before going here to try to find practice?.

morons, Sincerely - naniwa.

Not sure how you can rail against Koreans' pride while defending foreigner pride.

or....you could broaden your play to incorporate things outside of your typical style. I've noticed the longer time there is before a match with you, the better ANY player (korean or not) does against you. You apparently aren't that difficult to prepare for. Sorry naniwa. Either your prep is sub par or you are too easy to practice against. both fixable things.

Starcraft is more like Football than it is soccer. Most games are set plays from the start that are improvised based on results. We've seen how powerful spying on other teams has been in the NFL.

I think its fair that Nestea is discussing how to beat you with your opponents. Nobody is stopping you from asking..lets say Huk or Stephano on how to beat Nesta (or anyone you're playing).

I've certainly never heard of anything like this going on, but it has to be somewhat expected that people of the same nationalities are going to want to help each other out. To us it may seem like cheating, but to them they are just helping their friends and their countrymen.

Tough shit. Life isn't fair. Etc etc etc.

You're making an awful lot of assumptions too, unless you mind shedding light on the 10 players NesTea talked to, or the number of people in Europe actually trying to become a pro gamer as opposed to the number of people in Korea.

koreans don't like naniwa for being so abrasive. and especially for his stunt that he pulled vs nestea. They are incredibly supportive of a few foreigners who play vs koreans, the ones they respect.

I think many korean players don´t respect you as a progamer. I´ve also never heard of other progamers in korea having the same kind of troubles.

Uh huh. glad you know me better than i do. You shouldn't let anyone get to you. you put your head down and practice to be better. stop complaining on forums and start practicing, but calling someone a bronze "moron" for disagreeing with you is pretty typical of you.
