Just because Moon wasn't as accurate as you could be, doesn't mean it is wrong.
It's like saying "x>0" is wrong if "x=1" is the case.

I thought it was a joke that has stemmed from the WC3 scene. The quote at least.

Awesome, a cocky, arrogant, smug Asian... So tired of people being cocky about video games/sports, say GG and move on, being cocky is just annoying and pisses people off.

Lol how is he being cocky -.- it was obviously said in a jokey way and when there are 3 koreans in a tournament with 29 other foreigners, and the koreans get 1st 2nd and 3rd I'm pretty sure you are allowed to be 'cocky'
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

It was just one tournament. Anybody who is familiar with the concept of variance will tell you that the conclusion in the title can only be wrong.

Also, i hate this arrogant attitude. It's borderline racism.

its a joke cos he is being interviewed by Carmac, who wrote this 2 years ago ; )

Edit: there's quite a few ppl who dont get the joke. You should maybe add Carmacs article as a reference...

It's like saying "x>0" is wrong if "x=1" is the case.

The point is driving home the idea that it's nurture, not nature, that makes Korean dominance. They don't have an extra finger or better musculature or something, the nature of the environment just "trains" better players regardless of race.

EDIT:

Patch 1.3 notes: Players born within the national boundaries of South Korea now spawn with 5 workers.

Didn't idra have the same "nurture" for sc2 ever since beta, and still not get to the absolute top?

Different genetics have different pros and cons, it's "racist" to understand that apparently but the sooner people deal with that reality the better.

Just like average penis sizes, computational skills, sickle cell anemia etc.

Nothing is determined 100% by race alone though, obviously just cause you aren't korean doesn't mean you can't be good at sc2. But there are far more skilled koreans at it than foreigners. Yet the game seems to be much bigger outside of korea. That means the koreans are making more efficient use of their time and are just generally more efficient players. Even the non-hardcore koreans on avg are way better. So practice schedule isn't all of it.
True skill comes without effort.

Awesome, someone who can't actually read the threads on the subject. Read a little deeper to find why Moon isn't actually being arrogant here.
