Alot of words to say basically nothing. Although its all very well written "technically" and edited - the message is just too unclear. I love treehugger as much as anyone, but this article I didn't like. If nothing else, to little time has passed to not being able to make the counterargument that this holy october was nothing more than a fluke. | ||

Why is the best Skier that dominated the whole season suddenly failing at the most important event? Sorry... "Hard Work" is important... But it's not everything, by far not... Yeah, the best guys on average train as much as they should/can whiteout hurting themselves... Are they all training the best/smartest way of all the atlethes? Some probably do, others for sure don't but still win more or do way better than they "should". Competition just doesn't work that way. Good state of mind can make a good athlete better, but it won't make someone who doesn't work hard a winner. This isn't a question of training efficiently, it's comparing people who train in a professional environment to people who practice by playing against amateurs for a few hours a day. | ||

Stephano is a target now, people will aim to beat him, like people aim to beat IdrA and Huk. I feel as though all of them are a bit overconfident with themselves and can underestimate their opponents a lot. So will lose to random players here and there. The haters always come out after that, it's annoying but it comes with any sport. | ||

But on average I'd say korean practice routine results in better players. Shown by where the best players are, where the highest average pro-gamer skill level lies. Average korean pro is better than average foreigner pro. Seen by games that don't have huk steph idra in it. Such general ideas you proposed can't be defined by exceptions. Not downplaying stephano huk and idra at all. They are the exceptions that are so well known and so good in comparison that by making such claims you're basically saying "be like steph = winning" because it's very possible that a lot of foreigners behave in similar fashions anyways. Also you can't say idra without considering the permanent experience of having been on estro. And you can talk about mindset variance but huk's improvement in korea overall reflects korean practice environment... Same has been seen with drewbie and qxc. Rain's decline since departing as well. I don't think enough credit is given to how much exactly the koreans practice. Maybe you're right, maybe people who play 3 hours a day on ladder can beat people who play 8 hours a day with practice partners. But that sounds disgusting. Moreover, it's false. Most of the time. + Show Spoiler + The actual article... Dude... the evidence is clear—the argument that foreign players must play for more time and in more Korean-like settings to beat the Koreans is a myth. sensationalist nonsense at this point a few non-korean tournaments is good enough evidence to say that practicing in korea with such mindsets means nothing? + Show Spoiler + For every example of foreigner domination I could give examples of foreigner failure ... Code A? I had higher expectations :{ Stephano < Boxer floating how much? Want to know how I think boxer won that game after playing terribly day1? Idra did beat bomber, but bomber went marines g3 which I cannot get over. Also, he's a chokemaster and his TvZ not so hot when compounded with that. (Bomber<Moon, haha...) Idra also lost to a korean. Didn't Polt < foreigners? MKP PvT worst, Huk PvT best matchup. Koreans aren't gods and we've known that. I don't see how you can make such huge claims when your basis is made up of exceptions. I would've agreed with you had this phase lasted for three or four months, but really this looks like a lot of ingroup-outgroup business and the posts support this, as expected :p HuK is the only consistent foreigner on long-term measurement as he has proven himself as of recent (past 2 seasons) to be able to stay in a mostly-korean tournament (losing to mvp, even nestea does that). ESWC... Does MKP have really bad vision? A weak point. Just mentioning it. Giving the idea that practicing less is better was a bad way of going about the theme of this post. Practice smarter is fine. Practicing less? If you're one in a million eg stephano yeah sure go ahead and be like that, but that's not going to work for the 99%. That includes pro-gamers. Also the picture might be in a slightly bad taste, (would you post this on ggplay?) but I'm overreacting most likely, seriously. I thought the guy in the white on the left was a fallen frenchman and should be a fellow foreigner downed in combat :< | ||

The first is that the team house has the best access to the North American server, by far the weakest of the three major servers, with a skill level at the top that might be something like low masters league in Korea. Didn't think you'd be this harsh | ||
