And it wasnt so blind either, TT1 sent his 1st stalker to poke and saw only mairnes, he was either early expanding or putting his gas somewhere else (because of no marauders), so assuming a decent chance of banshee is normal. | ||

Were you around when Legionnaire AK'd an entire Korean team during the rise of Korean dominance? Do you know that SC2 is not that big in Korea either? Do you realize that it hasn't even been a year since the beta? Koreans win because they practice harder and are more disciplined than most foreigners. Qxc said it best: how can anyone expect to win if he/she practices half as much as the other guy? I don't care how talented you are - unless the game is fundamentally flawed with a low skill ceiling, but that's a different discussion. Might want to re-read his post. His questions imply that the world team was the favourite beforehand. Your points only prove how foreigners can compete with the Koreans, so I don't see how asking him if he realizes that SC2 is still in its infancy, which I'm sure he knows, or questioning his BW background, which is irrelevant, is really called for... :/ | ||

Well, yeah. The absolute need to have brilliant mechanics was what made practice so important for BW, and consequently, why Korean progamers did so well. However, the shift in focus from mechanics (which, honestly, most Westerners, with their culture of instant gratification find to be tedious and totally lame for a video game) to actual strategy, micro, tactical and strategical decision-making, makes SC2 far more appealing to play for Westerners. Obviously, perfect mechanics will become a must in the future, but the skill ceiling for that is far, far lower than in BW, and will therefore allow more Westerners to be world class in the future. | ||

The funny thing is that quite a few people are like "Woo, go white dudes!" when the least white people on the World team got the 4 wins today xD Perhaps "Woo, go World!" would be more appropriate and a bit more acceptable to Taiwanese fans who are cheering for Sen  I was just commenting on Ace's comment. Surely not all the competitors at IEM were "white" either. I'm not trying to pull any race card here, just saying foreigners are finally getting a big chance to bring it to the Koreans, and proving themselves worthy. | ||
