Idra and jinro have not claimed dominance in korea, they've generally had easier routes, they have played SOME good players but not consistently. Easy qualifier brackets and easy ro64-ro16 brackets skews their results quite a bit. Btw fruitdealer won the gsl where zerg was in its weakest state. The gap in skill between players like nestea and mvp are night and day with idra and jinro, because sc2 is rock paper scissors they may be able to take games off of them here and there, but in a bo9 or something they would get murdered. I mean you can argue about sample sizes and such but sc2 has sold more copies outside of korea than in korea, and the best non korean players still play vs koreans and generally get stomped. them placing 1-2-3 at a top foreign tourney with some of their players that aren't even considered upper echelon says it all. I have to say, it seems laughable to me for someone with such a weak argument to imply others are "average." 'Nurture' is, of course, going to be by far the biggest factor in the success of any group of people in any sport, game, academic field, or what have you. Korean dominance in SC and SC2 is easily and absolutely sufficiently explained by a combination of culture and programing conditions. Under current conditions, discussion of genetics is foolish and impossible to verify -- we should use Occam's razor to remove genetic speculation from our theories on Korean dominance for now. When we have a comparable number of foreigner progamers training in Korea, and they continue to under-perform, we can begin to have a conversation about factors such as genetics. | ||

But please guys this really don't have anything to do with racial stuff, this was meant more like a friendly punch to the arm more than anything else. I just think it's a case of all that insane practice really paying dividends to the Korean crew. | ||

I just think it's a case of all that insane practice really paying dividends to the Korean crew. Ya of course, it has nothing to do with race, other then being explicitly about race..... Of course if a white man said "whites own koreans" that would be racist and evil. Only the white man can be racist. Non-whites are all peaceful and wonderful. It's always humorous when its anti-white. | ||
