I'm Chinese American (born in America) and I identify more with the bigger Koreans than most American players. The culture is just so incredibly different. America and Germany have cultures more similar than Germany and Korea. Never heard bigger BS, but I guess that's sort of "standard" around the internet... I as (caucasian/white) German can identify myself much more with Korean players than American ones. Why?! Because of the cultural barrier? Fuck, no, because they provide the best StarCraft e-sports has to offer. And by the way, while the German culture seems to be further assimilating to the American culture (anglicisims, social behavior etc.), following this "trend" bothers me... | ||

He was incredibly good back in the day, a Power Rank regular, Proleague beast, and best player never to have made it far in an individual league. I remember when he out-multitasked 3 people in team melee when he played on TL Attack! A Korean progamer interacting with Teamliquid and the foreign community was completely unheard of. I'm sure he'll be more entertaining to have on the team than Taeja and Hero, no offense. That team melee game was amazing. That whole TL Attack was amazing. | ||
