Not impressive at all. The post was intended to say that korean zergs haven't been impressing in ZvZ the listed players ASIDE, but I made a mistake while editing it. Even so, Nestea has so far been playing the same standard style that is used in NA/EU. I would probably revise the statement now to say no korean zerg, nestea aside, has been particularly impressive in ZvZ. The point being the ZvZ practice environment in Korea may not be that much better than it's over here. | ||

It's definitely not like it was in Sc1, I highly doubt you actually watched Sc1 because if you did you would realize how uh...dumb....what you're saying is. | ||

It's definitely not like it was in Sc1, I highly doubt you actually watched Sc1 because if you did you would realize how uh...dumb....what you're saying is. You're doing exactly the same thing tho. There's obvious difficulties in comparing both scenes, due to the simple fact that they don't play on even terms very often, not only in terms of lag but also in terms of preparation and representation of both scenes. There are always examples that support either argument. However, I don't think it is an outlandish statement to say that korean play at this point in time appears more polished, more complete if you will. Just as a general impression from the matchups between top koreans and those between top NA/EU, I think korean play is more punishing and that they manage to capitalize on advantages more. I for one, can't wait to see how MMA, Bomber and Losira do at MLG. | ||

How is it that every time Idra loses there is always an excuse to be found? Balance, race, wrong type of practice. Don't get me wrong, he is an amazing player and would crush me with both his hands tied behind his back. But this seems very disrespectful to players that won vs him, give them some credit plz? I mean really, is it not possible that someone would beat Idra simply because they are better at the game atm? On a positive note, first time watching ZvZ and I really enjoyed it, as well as NASL in general, thanks! Um, how does saying that there are no high caliber players on the NA server disrespectful towards Sen or Zenio? If anything, he's saying that Sen and Zenio are so much better than North American Zergs that it's difficult for him to prepare against them. It's actually a compliment and shows just how much IdrA respects Korean Zergs, silly-pants. Because some of the posts I read have an undertone that feels like ppl are saying that Idra would walk all other Sen or Zenio if he had the same practice partners. But I'm probably reading too much between the lines... I guess you are right though, having better practice partners makes a big difference and no disrespect was implied by Idra himself. But like the other poster said, he should probably practice on EU then if Korea is too laggy. Or watch more Korean replays? I know its not the same as actual practice, but with his understanding of the game he should be able to tell exactly what goes on in players' minds and how metagame changes. | ||
