If foreigners take half the tournaments over the course of 2-3 months, then I'll acknowledge it.  Agreed. However, there is a small improvement from like the early MLG era. The first MLG that did Korean invites, I think foreigners took like a total of 5 MAPS off Korean players. It was that bad. Still, the improvement isn't massive, so I voted little to none. | ||

Really, it was only Stephano anyway who prevented it from being another Korean dominated event and the guy is just a remarkable talent, so he might not be an accurate skill-gauge for the the entire foreign scene. To really say the skill-gap has decreased , you need to have some players like MVP/Bomber/Nestea/DRG or even a July/MMA/Losira/Top/Polt going down in BO5 to foreigner | ||

Surely there will be a few individuals throughout the entirety of the planet that can compete with some of the better Koreans. But you have to remember that it's literally everyone vs the Koreans so a few players competing with the Koreans doesn't mean that foreigners as a whole can compete with Korea. thing is, in korea there's almsot as many people that play starcraft as in the rest of the world ... anyways, Korean's aren't human's, they're above us :p | ||

But it is not consistent and more often they do not win, also there absolute top is simply better. So ... nothing changed, but it's such a good feeling to get a big tourney one's in a while. | ||
