The success of the foreigners in this tournament has proved how successful esport has became, but at the same time, it shows how starcraft 2 is not as competitive as it should be (like broodwar, but let's not start another BW vs SC2 thread). Explain how the koreans, who practiced more than 12 hours a day, having proper teamates, practice house, and having an extremely competitive environment, still managed to lose 7 games to the foreigner who don't practice as much and most of them don't even have a proper team (i want to clarify what i meant is that they don't have team house and such that makes communicating much more difficult for practicing). So how were they managed to lose like that? It just shows how volatile SC2 is, even though i'm happy for the esport, but as a starcraft fan, i feel quite sad. Hopefully, they will figure this game out quickly and make it much more competive like it should be. I agree; the incredible amount of practice and effort put in by players in team houses doesn't produce the results, at least to the same magnitude, as it did in BW. If it were the case, every TL member who trained with oGs would return to foreign tournaments considerably better than most of the other competition, much like IdrA was after practicing for so long in the CJ house. It's like ret said on a SotG, "before when I was in Korea I felt my mechanics constantly improving, but now I feel that level of practice is not needed" before he left the house (or something to that extent). It's a great feeling to have foreigners be on a closer skill level to Koreans, but think of it not as Foreign vs Korea but as such: players who play on their own--oftentimes while having other responsibilities or occupations--versus players who live together, train together, exist in a StarCraft-oriented environment almost all of the time. | ||

I especially liked how Sen, July and DIMAGA showed awesome Zerg play at a point i considered Zerg as "weakest" race. Awesome!  | ||

dimaga's play in particular was just inspiring. im not sure how seriously the koreans were taking this leg of the championships, but they definitely weren't any more impressive than the world team. kudos to all involved, spectacular event. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/heyoka/gsl/artosis.jpg) This has got to be the best picture ever. Every detail in the picture is great. From Artosis's determined look, to Cella's subtle uncomfortable shift, and to Dimaga's awesome banana grin xD | ||
