its just facts Dac, don't be disappointed. no one is saying koreans are genetically better at the game except for you. bottom line is koreans are performing a lot better than the foreigners.

I was going to say no need to be so negative but then I read your user name.

I was thinking how would the community feel if that happens. I feel that It would disappoint me a bit. I don't think Koreans are genetically more capable at the game; it has definitely to do with the quantity and quality in their practice regime.

I think we are going to see some good games and I'm really hoping for some good surprises.

Of course they are not more genetically capable, but many of them(maybe not everyone) got a more strict and better training regime than most foreigners, thus better results.

Hi I posted this in the TSL3 FAQ but never got a response:

As a newbie to eSports there are a few very basic things I don't understand which aren't covered in the FAQ.

1) Where can I watch the games (a) live; and (b) on demand.

2) When does the round of 32 start? This is what i really want to watch.

Hopefully I can get a response to these questions. Thanks.

^ For whatever reason I have a feeling that it's going to be TL's stream. I have absolutely no idea where that idea came from, though.

I hope the koreans get to eliminate each other early on.

TSL Gracket show? Idra playing? :o :o

My predictions on just the winner: either MC, MVP, Jinro or Nada wins this. MC and MVP are really the best of their respective races. Nada and Jinro are both very, very solid players. Jinro needs to work on his TvP though. So Jinro work on that and win TSL because you can.

Would like to see Idra do well (tbh he can totally compete with other 4 I picked) but he doesn't seem to be in top shape atm, Boxer is the same story. So if Idra can get into shape then he could win. WhiteRa is imo the best of the players that didn't get invited from Asia, but I don't think he'll get very far (even though I'd totally LOVE it if he did).

[IEM spoilers]+ Show Spoiler +

In Europe and in NA the competition just isn't as strong as it is in Korea. I think IEM kind of proves that. 3 Koreans and 1 foreigner who's been in Korea, all top 4. Bam. Of course, I could be wrong, but it is my opinion that Korea > the world atm.

Edit: Oh and I think that Koreans are apparently better than everyone else because of how they practice. They have practice houses, teams to work and think together, coaches to coach. In the end they are way, way more prepared than someone who practices on ladder, where you meet gimmicky, cheesy shit that has barely anything to do with real competition. It's not their genes, it's how they work. You get European and NAmerican teams to work together too and they're going to get on par with Koreans, mark my words. (That would rape for esports btw)

Edit2: On second thought, Tyler might do really well since apparently he's practising Korean style. :p
