I am korean and I read a famous sc2 forum even pro players goto and they were very positive about Dimaga. Some were saying Dimaga should win the whole tournament even before today's matches. Some were saying foreigners should do well in the gsl so that they can make the korean players work harder and stuff. I was surprised. I thought it would be all nationalistic and going YEAHHHHH KOREA!!! but most of them were pretty open-minded. they also thought Dimagas ceremony was cool  . | ||

Is this because of a team World bias (I mean, it IS teamliquid.net) or because the games are exciting from the underdog status of westerners? Watching Korean Soccer team in World Cup, I would say you not new to being exited for your team. Cap obvious.... | ||

When I play custom and I see that my opponent is gold or lower I always switch races. A couple days ago there was a bronze zerg complaining about imbalance. He told me that Terran was OP and when I told him that on his level the game was perfectly balanced, he referred to IdrA... I have to disagree with this. At that level Terran is by far the easiest race. Why? We can all agree that at that level all races players macro sucks. But Terran macro is most forgiving. If you do not inject larva you cannot ever get that time back, if you miss warpgate cycles or forget to chrono you cannot get that back. Terran mules punish less if they are not used optimally and their production buildings all have build queues which are much easier to use for a newbie and help more to macro better. How? well you miss your first timing of building units and now you queue up a couple of units in each baracks/factory/starport. That will make sure you do not miss any of them for a while while toss and zerg players keep fracking up their macro over and over and have now way to make sure it gets better for a while. Anyways, ON topic: GO GO DIMAGA!! Hopefully you can study SanZenith and take him out in Ro8. | ||

He was pretty much dead yeah - but it was just a pretty horrible move from a progamer , yet alone one who claimed he had "top 3 control in the world"  | ||

He told me that Terran was OP and when I told him that on his level the game was perfectly balanced, he referred to IdrA... Zerg vs Terran is in a good state now. We see Dimaga his style, We have July his style. Both work. Zerg vs Protoss was never a real problem. Except on bad maps like Jungle Basin. Even in the finals I had this feeling that July made wrong decision. IdrA vs Cruncher same thing. Idra went for 6 more drones when Cruncher started moving out, and then he wanted to stepmicro some roaches but got trapped by some impressive forcefields. Those together were 11 roaches he trew away before the fight started. Zerg might be a bit weaker. I don't know. Playing zerg doesn't forgive making mistakes. But it can be cruel to play against as well. (Morrow vs Jinro) Idra has been justified in the past for saying zerg is weak. Patches have gone some way to improve the situation though. Like you say, ZvT is not such a problem as it was before many patches happened. ZvP is still somewhat difficult, potentially, but then we only just had a new patch so it will take time to see what impact that has. After roaches got buffed to 4 range, suddenly there was a short period of zergs doing much better (only very short) before T and P adapted. Z has to take a bit of time to work with infestors. On that note, and more relevant, I was surprise Nestea went for hydralisks against DImaga. Dimaga was obviously going hydras, because that's the most natural move, so doing the same while you are behind in every way isn't really going to give you the best chance to win unless there's a way in which you can use your micro to beat the other guy. Going infestors might have maybe given him a better chance, rather than trying to follow Dimaga while being behind. | ||

Is this because of a team World bias (I mean, it IS teamliquid.net) or because the games are exciting from the underdog status of westerners? I think because Korea is still the mecca of Starcraft skill for the most people and so to see foreigners catch up and be able to win still feels great and special. If you would in the future just speak of Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, USA, Korea etc itself and all would be skillwise on the same level instead of on the one hand you have Korea and on the other hand the rest of the world then I think everyone would just be biased to his country, but wouldnt be interested to see Koreans get beaten by someone from a other nation in particular. but aslong as Korea is seen as something special in the Starcraft universe it will be like you mentioned. | ||
