You know what the problem is? You got way to much repect for the koreans, they got an edge just because of that, they know you fear them like the devul. Naniwa and a few others are exceptions.

It's 100% earned respect. See last WCS. You make it sound like it's more a psychological thing than a "skill" one.

Koreans have a HUGE gap on the foreigners in mechanics.
It is hard to say that "physiological" effect is causing the losses when the opponents usually have twice your apm.

It is true that SOME foreigners only aim towards getting the best results against other foreigners.
Elfi is a great example of a player not focusing on his mechanics, but focusing on individual matches.
On the other hand there are players like 8th_Major that has sacrificed his foreign results for the opportunity to improve his mechanics as a dish boy for a KeSPA team.
Foreigners understand how badly their mechanics will be torn apart by Koreans in the later stages.

Screw the odds, I'm all out for TaeJa on this one. Should be good games either way. With all this Life hype I just hope someone else wins for the fun of it, but the competition isn't exactly amazing for him.

Taeja isn't exactly the "screw the odds choice". I mean yeah Life is more favored, but hes still a top contender to take the tournament.

I pretty sure Koreans use some sort of drugs, which improves reaction and increases activity of brain.

Life ''Surprisingly not-totally unbeatable''.

Liquid`TaeJa: ''Mostly unbeatable''

What?

Life isn't unbeatable because he lost the group of death against the top 5 players in the world and now they think Stephano, Snute, everybody can beat him, facepalm.

Tournament is up for grabs I dont think any of the koreans are unbeatable the only tough heavily favored korean is really just life the rest are good of course but not unbeatable by any means. So should be a close tournament.

I'm pretty confident Life will take this tourny. No one there is on his level.

I mean, obviously anyone can get cheesed out, nothing is a guarantee. Saying that Taeja is a safer bet for the semifinals is totally inaccurate, though (sorry Taeja, still love you man).

(P)mYi.StarDust: Beatable
Stardust is another Korean who is playing out of Europe, and he is now presumably the best player in Switzerland. However his record since his arrival isn't particularly hot, as he was eliminated from the HSC 7 Europe qualifiers by Bunny. While Stardust may end up like ForGG or Daisy eventually, right now he's looking more like a Real.


Hahahaha, looks like NOT... Awesome tournament, Stardust :D

Edit: Except Lucifron was able to 2:0 him hehe
