But, even more importantly, everything above is pretty much irrelavant: Who the fuck cares if the highest caliber players eat noodles or fucking cheezburgers. Just because you can't prescribe to another culture doesn't mean that culture sucks, it means your shortchanging it beause you don't know how to appreciate something you don't understand. I don't root for people because they carry a flag or speak a certain language, I root for someone based on their skill, their passion to win, there hard work, ect. You can make a story out of anything, but if someones nationality is such an important part of the story you are looking for in a sport, then it's a shallow fucking story and I could give a fuck lss if you or any other person ever finds it. I'm all about everyone being able to play well, more people playing at a high level globally is good for everyone. But until we put in our own amount of effort to even hit par with everyone else, I could care less. When I start seeing large teams with B-teams within themselves seriously taking gameing seriously, constantly trying to pick up new talent and not cash out on e-famous subpar players while they can, then I might get more excited about western e-sports, because we'll have teams that can compete with anyone. Until then, anything else is a novelty to see how much we are missing par, or how strong one of our anomoly players are (players like stephano nani or thorzain who get far based lots of natural skill and/or hard work). | ||

It's disgraceful that Naniwa complains about korean's working together and their infrastructure when he gets payed by his team and many koreans who are better than him don't. If foreign tournaments didn't allow as many koreans to play, they would only have GSL for the vast majority of korean pros (MC etc would still be flown around by teams, but most wouldn't). The korean scene would definitely shrink. | ||

If your primary reason to watch Starcraft competition is not the gameplay then what are you doing here? | ||

If that makes me racist scum, then I guess I'm racist scum. I know 90% of the people here would rather see foreigners mixed in a bit more, even if they won't admit it. | ||

Koreans are better, is it because they are Koreans, or because they practise more and better????? It's a mystery... | ||

If only Drogba, Eto'o, Essien, Weah and Miller had spent all day whining about the injustice on the internet instead of working their asses off and becoming some of the best players in the world. Every single sport in existance is dominated by certain countries. If you're too racist/pathetic to enjoy Brazilians playing football, Aussies playing cricket, Americans playing basketball, black people running or Koreans playing Starcraft you really need to take your racist hat off and think whether you even enjoy the game at all. Great post, I think this should replace the OP | ||

Some people are suggesting, that once the BW pros switch, there'll be no foreigner that will be able to compete. The thing is that Jinro and Idra (for example) are under performing (or simply put they need to step up their gameplay to be as competitive as they were). Also do not expect miracles from the BW pros switching to SC2, they are way way behind (i might add years behind) compared to current top SC2 players. Anyway, we are stucked between two realities, one being the koreans that uplifted e-sports to the rank of national sport and the rest of the world who doesn't gives too much crap about e-sports (tho lately things are improving regarding it). Ofc koreans will dominate the scene for now and for a quite good reason. Also I request this thread to be closed as it only brings up the worst aspects of us to surface. | ||

30% white guys. 20% black guys 10% homosexuals 10% women This will show Kespa that foreign Esports means business! (by the way if anyone has any other minority groups desperately in need of some affirmative action just PM me and I will pass the message on to Sundance.) | ||

I am trying to say that Koreans have more passion for the game than foreigner and hence work harder than foreigner. Therefore they post better results than foreigners. This is not called being a racist.There is a reason why Koreans outperform the foreigners. | ||

I don't believe personalities translate very well across the language barrier. A part of my enjoyment of sports comes from personalities playing any given game. Therefore, more Koreans, less enjoyment for me. Does this make me racist? | ||

Frankly a lot of foreign players should be glad that most of the customers that bring in the money that funds the teams and tournaments are as ignorant of the Korean scene as you, and also see most of the best players in the world as 'Korean X who likes noodles.' If most Korean's were actually marketable to the general eSports watching public there would probably only be like 15 foreign players with salaries. Also everyone knows 감자탕 > Noodles. | ||

We do not limit the number of Latin Americans that play Major League Baseball. We do not limit the number of Europeans that play Basketball. We do not limit the number of Europeans or Canadians that play on American ice hockey teams. American believe in letting the best play regardless of where they are from. ESL and European leagues can be the leagues that keep out some of the best players for representing the wrong country, but in America lets keep letting the best compete against the best. | ||

If your primary reason to watch Starcraft competition is not the gameplay then what are you doing here? Every other sport has his dramas as well and overall its just another interesting part of it. Low level players cant get enough out of the play to only concentrate on that so they choose to look at the drama as well. Every big and well known sport has that and that just shows how much the community grows. Its a good thing believe me. | ||

shut your mouth if you just jump on the bandwagon response
