Violet, dongraegu, marineking and MC always show plenty of it, in fact most Koreans love the crowd more than foreigners do when I see them on the main stage when was the last time you saw a foreigner do a hadouken, high five the crowd or put on other elaborate ceremonies? It seems odd that people act as if the Koreans are just soulless practice machines when from what I've seen the Koreans are better showmen than foreigners I dunno it just seems all the ceremonies and funny BM comes from the Koreans. Absolutely it just shows teh lack of empatie towards people with ... different genes or a different altitude i guess. Thats for me the deffinition of racism. | ||

Foreigners just need to step up their game and if not they just get rolled over( well not like they have been rolled so hard so many times already). Koreans work harder and play better and hence they deserved it. I rerember Huk commented that the foreigners don't have much passion in the game and hence practice less. Limiting the koreans number is plain bullshit. Once the BW pros fully transition to SC2 full time, the competiton will get even harder. While having the foreigners compete with the koreans is exciting, but the gap is getting wider and wider and then pretty much the koreans will dominated the SC2 scene like they did in BW. Koreans are improving whereas the foreigners progress is stagnant. | ||

Overall its preference, I prefer foreigners, since their play is more entertaining and less predictable and sometimes has something new in it and aren't over after 5 minutes. Not that i dislike planned out series of Mind Games. But they are not on the level I would enjoy. Especially with the current map pool + loser pick without enough vetos. But when we talk of preference, the organizers have those too and can do what they prefer. And if it is a second GSL they want, they should do it. If its successful it means enough people want it like this. | ||

To quote Preston Broadus foreigners need to either step up or step the fuck off. | ||

But saying something like "those noodle eating koreans" is as bad as saying "those fat german beer drinkers" or worse, making a very bad allusion to a country's past. Looks like the internet once again failed to transmit the irony in my post. I was joking, no hard feelings :D | ||

(Sorry for the polemical phrases but im quite disappointed.) "How does MLG ever want to present their product to a larger audience if it's all about weak, cowering white men who can't stand up to their vastly superior Korean overlords and relying on their kiddie Code E level tournaments for hollow cash prizes that provide no bragging rights?" There's a difference between being polemic, and being flat out dumb. Foreign pro-gamers put a lot of time and effort in improving their game. Foreign tournaments and their organizers put a lot of time and effort in bringing in not only sponsors, but also the best talent they can find. Who wants to see a tournament where the top talents are excluded? I root for certain foreigners, but if they decided one day that they'd only participate in tournaments without Koreans, I'd pretty much lose respect for them. No one would support those players. | ||

(Naniwa's previous comment) Except that we have seen more foreigners able to compete against Koreans. Or are you going to ignore Naniwa's recent GSL run? Stephano's runs through other recent korean dominated tournaments? Foreigners can compete with Koreans, given enough time. | ||
