There are no pro-gamers from my country and I dont concider europe as my "country" or however you wanna call that. I dont support europe players more than US or whatever but im way less interested in KR players. I dont know if its either that they re way too good to put in a competition vs foreigners and I feel like rooting for the underdog or the fact that the language barrier is big and I dont know much about them other than they are great players. Yes they give good games of sc2 , probably the best out there but in a 3 day event especially when its aired at those hours (for me personally important games were 4-8 am) I need something more than good games. Id rather watch foreigners play simply because I can connect to them easily. I can watch their streams , I can hear them talk in shows etc I can love them or I can hate them and this creates interest. Listening to some guy talk through a translator once a tournament is not the same thing and GSL seems way too distant for me. I mean the winner , IMMvP , I dont think I saw him once in the whole tournament giving some emotion or even talking. This is why the only korean I love to watch during major tournaments is MC simply because he at least makes an effort to connect with his fans. Went until DRG games just to see how hes gonna deal with the new age hellion tactics , then realised it was all going to be 3-4 TvTs in a row at 6 am+ so I closed the stream. Didnt really matter to me who won , maybe if BoxeR could do it I would be happier but other than that didnt care. | ||

When the top 6 were ALL Koreans, sure i enjoyed the matches, but my interest level dropped significantly. When the team you root for in Basketball, or Hockey, or Football gets knocked out, even if you love the sport, you've lost your personal connection. Had Idra, or Huk, or a WhiteRa, or some nonKorean been there to represent Foreign hope, it would have added another dimension to the tournament. It really missed that. And there were to many TvT's. I like Terran, but too much of anything and you get tired of it. Whom ever decides which Koreans to invite, please, invite a good mix. Boxer, MVP, MMA - too many of the same race. We should be honored that the Koreans came all the way over here to play. Are you ****ing serious? We should be honored that they grace us with their presence? No, they should be honored we allow them free spots in our tournament. Seeing way too much of this idolizing of the Koreans. They're people who play video games better than us currently, largely because they've been doing it seriously far longer than we have. Thats it. Thats all. | ||

But that was because: it was 3 am it would have been only TvT Seriously, TvT is the best mirror, but it's so slow, and game after game after game, after a whole day watching starcraft, it can get to you. I would have liked a bigger variety of matchups honestly. | ||

Maybe I was over-thinking it at the time, it was around 5am. Only the fact that it was a bunch of TvTs was what bothered me. I would've liked to see some variety, although I did see innovation. | ||

Thats all.[/QUOTE] You must lived under a rock or just a new comer to the starcraft comunity but the reason why people idolized "Boxer" is because he played a major role in making Esport into what it is today. So plz stfu if you dont know what F you talking about. Am sorry your favorite player didn't make it through maybe less QQing and more training. | ||

Translators ruin the Moment for me. it is crazy how much they cater to them by providing a translator and plane tickets. I don't agree with this at all, no player should ever feel like they have to learn a country's language to compete there. That's a ludicrous requirement. Should players learn every European language too? | ||
