You could say that its korean training domination or you could say that the really good players went to korea to train there. Its not like scrubs go to korea and somehow idra and jinro were born out of that. This is true. But if you are somehow implying Jinro was ANYWHERE NEAR current lvl he is now before going to korea then I strongly disagree. Jinro lives and breathes and plays sc right now. The setup is so that, it's like an office playing 10+ hrs a day. I cannot see how anyone no matter how good or how bad, could not improved by doing that. | ||

I watch a lot of SC2 and these Code A players are fairly owning the Europeans and Americans... This is not a racial thing, just a regime (see Glade's success already..). Hopefully NASL will change this a bit for the Americas. | ||

I'm clearly missing your point. 1 zerg in top 4 doesn't mean that "lol, zerg is fine" Dude, What on fucking earth are you talking about? The top 6 has 4 zergs : IdrA,Morrow, Moon and Moonglade, and basic math would indicate that in the worst case scenario atleast 2 zergs would be in top 4. Better take off your imba glasses and wake up to see the facts. TL has the most vocal zerg fanatics who have no better job than spread the filth about "zerg imbalance" at the drop of a hat, and infest every single LR thread that's created. Stop. Now. If you feel the need to whine, create your own thread and keep posting there. | ||

I literally see very few non german complain about TLO's english. Not a flame or anything, just an observation. Its mainly because germans main contact with english is TV&Internet and that is mostly a) american english b) spoken by native speakers and professionals while especially people from the United Kingdom are used to lots of different accents ... I mean there is lots of regional accents which don't speak the "th" there and add all the people from the former colonies to that. Germans would also complain about a majority of native english topolects and sociolects (cockney, irish english, indian english etc.) | ||

Being polite should be expected from players and not "a bonus". Do you see the Koreans bash each other in such a cheap way as some westerners do? No you dont. Go and look this up in the Liquipedia: Definition of GOSU ... "Gosu in Korean literally translates to "high hand" and it refers to a player with superior manner and skill." I have boldened the important detail ... lets not turn Starcraft 2 into another WWF ... | ||

I excluded Moon from that, because of the 1/4 in the top 4 being non-Korean. To be fair, the lack of terran representation in top 4 could = the lack of Korean representation at the event. The only Korean not to be top 4 is zerg, in Idra, and he got beaten by a Korean. I can't really prove shit though. You can't take 2 - 3 points and formulate balance. For that same reason, I don't feel the finals being 2 zerg, 2 toss means that zerg is in a good place. /end rant  | ||

Hopefully NASL will change this a bit for the Americas. I think most of the guys who've gone to Korea have said the same (IdrA, TLO) that it's about how you live/practice just SC2. I think we'll see a lot more foreign players deciding to live together to get that environment (Idra/Inka/Machine, CatZ/Drewbie and I think a couple of the fnatic guys). And we'll see the gap stay fairly close between those types of players and the Koreans. | ||

But to keep this on topic. GLaDe is set up to win minimum of $2.5k now. Whats the general "go" with paying sponsors? Do the sponsors see any money for sending him there, or is that just his cashola, and they get the exposure? | ||

So I think it will be a while before the level is raised outside of Korea | ||
