What did john say? john asked a question. white-ra answered it and when it finished, john said " don't talk to me. talk to the camera" and white-ra had to repeat the whole answer. I guess John probably meant well because white-ra was giving a shout-out to his wife and he wanted to make sure it was loud and clear because it was an important shout-out | ||

I was always wondering why people make these excuses for the koreans, when TT1 just destroyed his last 2 opponents with nearly flawless play. But not it cannot be, nada lost because TT1 was lucky and blind countered his build with a non robo opener. Wait.... Foreigners are destroying the koreans with superior play in GSL and TSL. But if you NEED to completely destroy the accomplishments of TT1, Adel etc. then blame it on variance please since that makes the most sense. I don't understand this argument comparing the amount of foreigners in the GSL compared to the NASL. The GSL gives anyone the opportunity to participate and everyone has to work their way up now, except ironically when 4 foreigner spots were provided for code A. So, it's understandable when people get upset that certain foreigners are excluded when a lot of them should be invited based on their resume so far in Starcraft 2, especially over some of the players invited to the NASL so far. It's not supposed to degrade non-Korean players, it's just understandable that people would not enjoy this exclusion when the tournament is supposed to include the best players, which is non-Korean AND Korean players. That was more for Catz than you. | ||

People in the western hemisphere have brains too, and don't need to just blindly copy builds to get by. It'd be really nice to see people actually wanting to make esports a reality outside of korea, but the way a lot of people think is really discouraging and depressing. Koreans are not invincible! -YET- why do I say YET? its simple, they are pulling ahead, not far ahead, just ahead. Because of events like GSL they can train a lot and have reachable goals that make it worth while for them to commit to the game. No one seems to complain that there isn't enough forgeiners in GSL, However, everyone likes complain and cry to make sure that Koreans are invited to events like TSL or NASL (NORTH AMERICAN STARLEAGUE). I am not saying koreans should be just excluded from all international events, but the truth is, the only way to make esports successful is to create a competitive enviroment, where I am scared of playing KiWiKaKi not MC. Need our own 'stars' our own prizes and our own incentives on this side of the world. Need to create an enviroment where people aren't looking to move to korea, but instead move to this side of the map, like IdrA did. There should be events like this one or WCG or many others where there are opportunities for people all over the world to face each other, but we need to create some sort of separation as an incentive to "foreigners" to train and improve in a similar enviroment as they have setup in korea. You reading this are a 'foreigner'...but why are you the 'foreigner', is your brain less capable of producing quality strategy, are your hands too fat and slow by nature's default? ffs lets stop being the foreigners. Catz y u so handsome?! I was always wondering why people make these excuses for the koreans, when TT1 just destroyed his last 2 opponents with nearly flawless play.

But if you NEED to completely destroy the accomplishments of TT1, Adel etc. then blame it on variance please since that makes the most sense. From my own perspective, I don't look down nor expect as much from non-Korean players. It's all about what tournaments people watch and all. Since GSL is the more famed tournament, viewers naturally tend to favour results from GSL and according to that, foreigners are being eliminated pretty easily except for Jinro and IdrA. From there, my view of non-Koreans being inferior to Korean players was created. In the TSL3, seeing as how simple micro skills of the Korean players became so horrible, it was natural of me to blame it on lag. Today, non-Korean players definitely opened my eyes and realised that they stand a chance against the Koreans too. Of course, all these ain't enough to judge who is the better player because it's a Bo1, anything can happen. So... Until then, I'll wait patiently and definitely, I think some non-Korean players are really good but some are just over-rated just because they are popular. Peace. I still support my idols regardless of where they are from, Jinro, MVP, IdrA and MKP. | ||
