Especially the eldest son is expected to live with the parents even after marriage. Luckily my parents are Americanized and are already trying to kick me out of the house. I don't know about the Confucian ideals, but definitely there is some sort of respect for elders. Winning that large sum of money and not willing to part SOME with your parents who took care of you for most of your life feeding you supporting you sheltering you scolding you.... isn't that disrespectful in all cultures? As an Asian, I don't think it has as much to do with culture than it does with common sense. xP | ||

It a cutural thing to have a tight knit relationship with your families. its deep-rooted in confucius' teachings. its more apparent in mainland asia compared to isolated nations like japan/south-east asian islands. | ||

Never underestimate the determination of a cornered zerg! The thing is there were no banshees, hardly any marauders or hellions..we saw in semi-final things got tooo close for comfort for Cool. I think the trump card here is the mass Bling drops. What GSL will do is help change Zerg metagame with alot more infestor, bling drops comming into play now..how Zerg gets patched might just have to be how zergs adopt Cool's style. And regarding the culture and stuff..by asian..not just East Asia..its pretty much the case in South Asia as well as middle east and North Africa. | ||

After roflstomping every1 from day 1 to the semi-finals including tester ITR gets stupid all of the sudden. Seems plausible....OR....zerg needs to stop whining and l2plikeCool? So basically we all gotta play like the best player in the world to win as zerg vs terran? It was obvious that not enough early pressure was being applied to cool, no timing pushes either which allowed him to 4-base and macro/tech hard and when the push finally came cool was just way ahead. If you'd listened to the commentaries there is a massive window where cool is just macroing hard and has very little stuff and a timing push would've just outrighted killed him. | ||

I hope to see more zergs on the ladder now, my tvz was getting sloppy from lack of zerg enemies because of this retarded balance discussions. The current balance issues don't affect matches unless you're a very high diamond or a pro gamer. PS : Of course the only good zerg is a dead zerg. | ||

I can see why you might think that (hell, I had trouble understanding how it worked at first), but it's not a case of "Everything I ever gain will go to my parents". Eveyrone just takes care of everyone in their family there, if the dad wins the lottery he won't use it all for himself, even if his children moved out. Same for the children. Yeah my comment was half in jest really. I definitely respect people who want to help their family more than those who wouldn't even think of giving any of their winnings away. We could probably do with a lot more of that attitude in the West. | ||

Anyone else he'd succeed against and win. Cool was the better player and he won, hell he even showed how strong zerg can be if played properly. The fact that cool played better tells in itself that ITR didnt played as good. You can't say zerg is soooo strong watching a terran failing at changing his plans accordingly. Now I understand Idra so much, every terran will justify their whining with the result of this serie. | ||
