It's a small sample size, and the meta game between servers is obviously going to be somewhat different. Just keep watching games, korean vs foreigner or not, and decide for yourself. You don't have to blindly assume players winning Bo1's, Bo3's, etc are better than their opponent. | ||

Not defending idra for his blunder, just saying its different circumstances. | ||

If burrow was finnished Idra wouldn't have lost those 5 roaches to the forcefield trap without doing damage and probably could have held the push eventually with reinforcements. | ||

Well, a problem Morrow and Idra had against their recent opponents in the GSL and TSL respectively is right when they scouted their opponents pushing with a 5-6 gate, they split half their drones and half their larvae. This is questionable to me, since they're supposed to be progamers and play against 4-6 gates all the time....why not convert all larvae to units since their opponent is going all-in anyways? | ||

Instead I found people complaining about how SC2 isn't BW and complaining about all sorts of things. The foreigners were supposed to get smashed and they played very well and won a bunch of games. It was exciting and they are awesome. I'm not saying foreigners have overtaken Korea or anything like that. What I am saying is that was great to watch. Way to win us some pride! | ||

Mostly likely referring to FXOpen Invitational. | ||

They were either barely on A-team or on B-team. Some like NesTea was just a 2v2er if I'm correct. What if Flash, Bisu, Jaedong, Stork, and Fantasy would come over to sc2? Nada was actually still decent. He left on a 3 game winstreak against good opponents(turn,Flying and Hiya). July pretty much did not play at all any more and he didn't practice very much (and he was not really at the top when he started sc2. He played very sloppy the first couple of sets). And in Sc2 the skill set of the more creative players is much more valuable than those of mechanical monsters. Stork would by far have the best style of those to go over. It is a different game and I think yo should stop saying x will be the best if he would come over. MC was never even remotely on the level of Nada or MVP even to the end of their BW carriers. | ||

They didn't need to do new strats, but cmon NaDa doing a 1 base all in basically? Or Marine King doing basically a 2 base all in. They could easily have played safely and like so many people have stated "Since they are so much better than the foreigners they would have won a standard macro game." But the koreans made poor decisions on builds and strategies. The koreans didn't need to use anything amazingly new or unique, but standard macro play would have been better than gimmick builds. I agree the builds they used kinda sucked. But Cella said at the beginning he wanted quick games and for it to be over quickly, which doesn't make sense in a competition. It was amusing and exciting when san or anypro (can't remember) went for carriers and had a long long game. Either way I think the Koreans should of given their all as a sign of respect for the competition. | ||

The interviews were so entertaining, even though I couldn't understand, haha. That Korean woman commentator is hilarious. I'm jealous of the archon! XD also: the Zerg music (right?) playing for the games is rockin', should always be the Zerg music.. seems appropriate :D | ||
