they are, gsl format is very easy if you think about you have a week or so to prepare while on foreign tournaments at least 10 matches or so are played until you can win a tournament. Its also more predicable in foreign tours since almost all players play on international tournaments as well but on gsl there are koreans who cant afford playing abroad since the korean teams dont play you that much only for the best of their teams like mk, drg and so on.
So these underrated korean stay home and these gsl matches are all what they have to show up so they prepare a lot for it, and they have an advantage since they arent touring around the world they stay always home at their locations and arent losing any extra time which goes into practice. And we seeing this trend where even korean top international players starting to lose to less international players even in the finals like mc vs seed, whos seed before??? we havent seen so much of him in 2011 and nothing in 2010 and now he won gsl.

But show up one of these random players like mini in mlg and i will see how they start losing after hours of matches. And not to mention that gsl doesnt give that much money anymore even less in comparison to foreign tournaments if you count in totals.

What the hell?
Okay, you get a week to prepare for your matches. You can watch replays/VODs of your opponent and thus can engineer a direct counter to his playstyle. Just like your opponent can.
You might have to deal with fatigue in two-day tournaments like MLG, but so do your opponents. If the players have to abide by the same rules, the playing field is always even. So the only thing that distinguishes tournaments from each other skill-wise is the skill level of the players attending; and since it's universally considered that GSL Code S is the most prestigious victory, by far, it attracts the very best of players who spend the most time preparing for it.
The Code S crown is worth more than any other SC2 victory, though the OSL might shape up to be more prestigious in time.

but look at the people closer who are there, there are many underrated korean player who arent playing international tournaments like seed before he won gsl as i said, and code a is full of it. I bet code a is even harder than code s.
Its harder for people who are all over the world to play against these Hikikomoris who prepare all the time for this one match.

Nani was ok at the format until his current slump. There's probably a load of reasons why foreigners seem a bit worse at preparing, not having teamhouses/coaches, and the much larger availability of VoDs/Twitch footage of your average foreigner over your average Korean.

NANIWA YOU SEXY BEAST, COME PARTY WITH ME IN AMSTERDAM TO RELAX

don't post here.
+ Show Spoiler +Nani was ok at the format until his current slump you means he was lucky 2 saison and it is back to normal ?
User was warned for this post

I'll probably get some serious flak for this, but I've noticed that you lost some of the games by trying to push up the ramp at all costs instead of trying to secure an economic advantage. Those weren't "I can definitely win this" pushes, they were more of a "I have to win this now" push. If you have to do the other, try making a contain. Make them come to you, instead of pushing into a concave with a convex. If you have a Warp Prism, forcefield their main ramp.
Just don't do that push if you are not 100% sure you can murder their army and/or their economy.
