Add to that the hours that Proteams put in and you're looking at just as dominant a Korea as it was in BW. | ||

The prob with the tournament roster for me is that i have beat about half the players in it at various points in time(Not saying winning records vs all of them but just wins), and i am considered "unknown" and dont really play any tournaments. i fuckin play a couple hours a week with the number ever-decreasing as time goes on... So how are some dudes who I can get wins vs gonna go own koreans? Keep in mind I know the difference between casuals and tournament play. Im sure some of the other decent players reading this thread feel the same way. | ||

Like, i ll watch savior FPVODS on youtube and hes fucking amazing n all but its like "Why cant do that? why can't any non korean do that????? iots so fucking aghardd to comprehend how muhc better thgey are than us, cause t hey're always opklaying opponents whonare just as good. its likie, you watch the vod and think "that's pretty solid play and all, but waht speerteates us from them???"why cant i just micro that wekll, macro that hard, and be as strategically smart as them. The style of play is a lot different between kloreans and non-kjoreanz, to the point where its hard to identify. Like, someone could show me a replay witho9ut me hgaving a clue who the playrers are and id be able to guess whreether or not im watching koreanz or non koreanz. Its just weird how their style of play is so different. But like, at the end of the day, im likje a D+/C- iccup player but it looks so easy to be a savior or be a nada (assuming u can multitask that well)_ even tjhough multitasking is kjust a part of wat it takes to be that good. I dunno im just drunk and ranting and spilling my thoughts but like; how does onbe make the jump from 3rd/4th rate non0-korean nooby to potential progamer? it looks so simple, so simple that one can reach out and 'touch' the skill it takes to be that good, but at the end of the day, it just doesnt happen and i, liek many, lose to random no bodies on iccup. i think this little tournement is cool. im no where capable of competing in it rihgt now, but its the first tourney thgats ever gioven me a 'chance' to compete like that and i hoppe to someday play in it (mainly because i like the idea of getting 500$ and i wanan put an exhaust system and shti on my wrx but still) its like...i dunno.. its so hard to explain wat seperates a korean progamer from a random no body,i understand what makes them better than us, but like, WHYY cant we be that good? WHY cant we play at that level? its just like, some form of 'starcraft englightenment' (as ive always called ti) that one must attain to ascend to that level of skill/capability. just my 2 canadian cents. GG. ^_^ Have a good sleep and then come back and edit this you drunk. Anyways I think the quality of this "foreigners suck" thread is a bit lacking compared to the other two. This seems more like a bitch than anything else but all in all i agree with rek, I don't think any of those players could make it very far in korea. Iefniaj and xiaozi are really the only two that could do anything in my mind. Any of the other players seem to be stuck in a sort of rut. While they can play very well I cant see them adapting or really being ingenuitive. Pros are pros, they will be good no matter what. They are constantly trying to bend the rules of the game and do things that just shouldn't be done ,while the players on the list try to perfect known stratagies,emulating things they've seen on MBC or OGN. While they can do it better than the rest of us it doesn't set them apart, they just fall into the skilled foreigners category with so many others. I gave iefnaij and xiaozi the exception because both have a still seem to have that "freshness" that alot of players have when they start. They haven't sunk into that rut of pre-defined starcraft rules that alot of older players have. They still want to impress and show something new. + Show Spoiler + [MANDATORY VIDEO ALERT INCASE THIS POST IS SHIT] ![[image loading]](http://www.gamersky.com/news/UploadFiles_3424/200610/200610919316808.jpg) It takes freshness to pull something like this off. | ||

Artosis isnt one of the best, indeed. So rekruls just perfectly right. What do you guys even keep arguing ? The times where the sense and the practicetime of a player like Giyom helped you winning several leagues and being the dominant force for 2-3 years are over guys. Just cope with it.. NO foreigner could have a big impact. Draco was so good he didnt. LX is exceptional he dind do anything special at all. Mondi wouldnt do great and Testie wouldnt either.. | ||
