Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

He didn't. This is loser brackets.
How is this losers bracket? TLO is already in the championship bracket.
There is a winners and a losers bracket in the championship bracket. Everyone but nr 1 in each pool will start in the Losers bracket.
I think most non-koreans is practicing a lot, as much as koreans I think. But the thing is 10 hours of koreans is like mma vs ganzi vs boxer vs all gosu, losira vs mvp vs nestea. The difference is team house While Foreigners practice against normal players on ladders daily

The majority of non-Korean "pros" aren't ableto do the same. Practice and hard work is everything.
IMO the Koreans aren't dominating enough, they shouldn't lose a game EVER.
^lol you clearly do not understand the game very well. Even IDRA said that there it is very difficult to completely dominate the game as a player with near perfect consistency. And yet, the Koreans are showing that they are a cut above the rest. Don't be mad at me be mad at the stats
Korea fighting!!!!!!
If Non-Koreans could afford team houses and to be able to practice 60+ hrs a week then there would be ZERO difference in skill.
Uh there are non-Koreans who live in team houses and can practice as much as they want.
alot of it has to come down to dedication also tho. You dont turn on korean streams and see them playing custom games or ffas.
Lol, yes they do...
Pretty much the whole ogs team was playing custom maps, racing around a track last time I saw Huks stream. Huk implied it's a common way to resolve "arguments" in the house. Stop making up shit you have no idea about.
That was a short fun game to decide who treated everyone for ice cream. They spend the rest of the time practicing, unlike most "foreigner" pro gamers who just seem to play a little here and there.

fighting game communities are very loyal, but they aren't very large
they have Evo which will draw a lot of people, but all their other major events don't even come close to the amount of people that SC2 or Halo draws

Well, you can also tell your parents that your a pro-Gamer and they won't say, "WTF is that?"
because parents look down on training and prefer that their kids play FFAs or custom games
"WTF are you doing practicing that build order?! you've been doing that ALL DAY! PLAY A FUCKING CUSTOM GAME OR YOU'RE GROUNDED!"
Get in your basement and practice your 1 rax FE another 100 times or you won't get any rice for breakfast tomorrow!

Exactly. Players who win their group can do no worse than 6th place.

Fighting game communities also has ALOT of drama compared to any game genre ive watched.
