It is far more fun to care.
That's nice. I usually look for fun that isn't slathered in tribalism.
Then what the hell are you doing in a thread about sports?
Haha, well first I would have to consider it a sport, wouldn't I?
But I'm here to keep up to date on the results and see what players make it. Shouldn't that be obvious? I'm not here to say FOREIGNERS FOREIGNERS SLAP AROUND THOSE KOREANS.

O_O. If you payed attention to BW at all it was all korean dominated. Its kind of nice to see Foreigners doing well in Korea don't see whats so bad about that just because you don't care doesn't mean we all have to be boring like you.
See above. Frankly I don't find the rhetoric of some of the posts around here entertaining. More like obnoxious.
I"m sorry then don't read them? Don't comment? Ignore it? You have many options it is your choice on what you want to do. You don't need to get all over people for being excited that one of their favorite players qualified for the biggest tournament in starcraft 2. Just look at who qualified if you hate people having fun and being happy their players they like qualify I still don't see the problem.
I'm sorry, did you even read what I wrote? Support whoever you like. But like I said, you don't have to be obsessed with whether or not someone is white or whatever to enjoy their play.
By the way, you have to read a post before you can know that it's obnoxious. Just a heads up.
Haha, I agree but I think most people are like me and are rooting for foreigners because well, they're travelling thousands of miles to an unfamiliar culture and competing against those who are playing in their relative backyard. They're the obvious underdog and thats why its easy for many people to root for them.
Yeah, and that's a MEASURED RESPONSE that I have no problem with. What I originally posted was that people needed to stop being obsessed and annoying.

Select and Kiwi are most likely playing today based off of Artys tweet. Also Torch and Artosis himself.

If you really feel strongly that people needed to stop being obsessed and annoying about this whole "foreign thing" then just make a thread about it and stop derailing this thread.
People are here to follow GSL 3 and root for their favourite player, not to talk about whether it is appropriate to root for foreigners blindly.
anyway go inControl, that guy seems impressive but not unbeatable!
Someone help me! looking at incontrol's opponent playlist to see how many are toss!!!! I just clicked on one of the games and it was versus some bronze dude.
