Very nice article.

For information about the original painting : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Leading_the_People. It inspired the Statue of Liberty and you can see it in the Louvre museum in Paris.

Three players out of a pool of... lots doesn't exactly constitute a revolution. Especially since Idra and Huk have been very very good since SC 2 was released. Stephano's the only real surprise, and he's following the path of the average hyped Korean player.

Come out of nowhere

Assumed is unbeatable

Goes down in flames a few months later

I understand the argument of 'don't practice harder, practice smarter', but It's a very hard thing to do and requires extremely good understanding of the game to be able to do that in the first place. For the majority of pros, practicing harder is definitely the thing to do, just as it is for the Koreans. Most of them aren't near the level of your MVPs and Nesteas, but they can cane the ass of most foreign pros, and that's just down to practice.

So really... do practice more. it's good.
I'm not bad at Starcraft; I just think winning's rude.

I could not disagree more with this article. Telling foreigners that they don't need more practice is the wrong advice. Unless you're naturally predisposed to play this game, you need more practice, period.

Pointing out what you consider exceptions is pointless when the vast majority of foreigners just don't practice enough. And when they do practice, if they're not practicing seriously in a focused way, it's also useless.

I don't see any up and coming Koreans playing Skyrim anyway...


That's because they don't stream it...

I've read both Jinro and Huk state that they play other things as well in the oGs house. That's like saying an up and coming athlete never do anything else than train his sport. Yeah... no.





Not to the exclusion of everything else, but pretty damn close.

Stephano is an outlier, but I really doubt the top foreigners aren't putting in a lot of hours of focused, dedicated practice. If you're doing something else on the side then you're going to fall behind.

The best thing about this article were the comments of people that seem to never have seen the original picture and are "offended" by the boobs :p.


As for the article:
A little to optimistic for my taste .

The idea that winning is the direct result of hard work is something that makes Starcraft seem like a legitimate sport. Claiming that you can win with mentality like some kind of Saturday morning cartoon only makes the game seem like a fraud. By winning these tournaments Idra et al. are killing esports.

Good article, worth the read even if it is a wee bit optimistic ^^

Also I can't stop laughing at the guys who don't even know french revolution history or one of the more famous drawings of all time ~~

Delacroix... Wish I've seen more of his work in RL.
