What Nani is talking about, I think, is that Koreans have several advantages simply by being in Korea and speaking Korean. A) Access to high skilled, experienced coaches. All of the big SC2 Korean teams have coaches that are often ex BW coaches as well as being high masters SC2 players. These coaches know how to formulate new strategies, search for proper practice partners, identify weaknesses in opponents and create training regimes for the entire house as well as looking after everything else. B) Extreme population density. All the major Korean SC2 teams live within around a ~4 hour radius of each other (I think). They can get to and from GOM easily and have access to each other and the talent pool within Seoul and Korea in a very short distance. Additionally the concentration of high skilled, professional players on Korean ladder makes it infinitely better training than any other comparable ladder as well as being an amazing resource for finding appropriate practices partners. C) The BW legacy. Koreans in SC2 have all had some sort of exposure to the BW scene in Korea. Whether they are ex-BW pros, semi-pro players or just fans, they all have some sort of knowledge of the scene. BW had the highest level of professionalism in any esport ever, meaning that these SC2 pros know inherently how to 'be' a pro due to having native role models to follow. Futhermore, having the BW legacy makes pursuing a progaming career that much more acceptable (although not as widely accepted as we would like to think). Ergo it is ok for guys like Maru and Creator to skip out school to practice and participate. It makes it easier for the unknowns in the scene to rise up and train really hard, not having to concentrate on much else (even those who have to find success, ie Polt) | ||

And frankly I think your characterisation of Koreans of all being the same (eating noodles and playing a lot) is simply racist - if you bother to get involved in the Korean scene at all you'll notice all of their attitudes, playstyles and behaviour is almost as varied as the westerners - though it lacks some of the BM. There are still rivalries, storylines, Just because you can't tell them apart doesn't mean others can't. Finally, if we did restrict the number of Koreans, wouldn't that simply make an MLG win meaningless? "XXX won MLG, but that doesn't mean anything cause half the qualified top-tier players weren't allowed to compete." The foreign scene will take another few years to reach Korean standards, perhaps, but eventually it'll happen, and segregating the Koreans won't help speed things up. | ||

Calling people 13 year olds because they disagree with you? I expected better and more mature comment after past incident... I see nothing has changed. Why would you expect anything different? He is one of the most childish progamers in the scene (and one of the best). He is extremely paranoid and has a persecution complex, which is why he freaks out when he loses and thinks all the koreans are out to get him. | ||

Maybe you prefer a team you can relate to because they're not Korean, but that doesn't mean all foreigners do. We'll see that in time because it's pretty much written that next year, we'll have like 90% of people competing in MLG and tourney like that being not foreigners, due to Kespa. I wonder how much the number of people watching will increase/decrease. Except for the hype at the beginning with BW stars. | ||

If people are genuinely concerned about Korean dominance, just like in traditional sports there is separation of men and women in to different leagues and tournaments, the same can be applied in Starcraft with Koreans and foreigners. | ||
