We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum. Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service. Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out. -- updated 7:55 KST | ||

Korea has their own smaller tournaments, I realize, but I believe the two scenes are pretty equal in terms of prize pool, and the foreign scene is much easier. It makes a lot more sense to stay in the US, where you were _born_, than to live in a foreign country where you'll probably end up making less money. Until the Koreans started invading the west...  | ||

Guess I wasn't the only one that doesn't care about the results of a bunch of random koreans. I wouldn't necessarily say that it's the direct results of having only Koreans left. There was so much backstory behind IdrA/MC that it grasped everyone's attention. Losira and MMA just doesn't have that animosity between them, or else it would be a lot different. But having no foreigners remaining definitely won't help the cause. | ||

Sheth? Sen? Morrow? Sheth and Morrow tried, and I don't think Sen is on Idra's level. I would be very careful about talking in absolutes like that. There are some very good player missing at this tourney. Sen and Dimaga are both very close to Idra's level and neither suffer from the mental block that seems to meet Idra when he's faced with the best competition available. What about WhiteRa? Or Strelok? I wouldn't say the are definitly worse than Naniwa and Thorzain. The Starswar also showed that there is a lot of awesome chinese players that are mostly unknown in the westerns community. | ||

Koreans in the championship bracket were only eliminated by koreans. Top 3 is all-korean. I think it's proof enough, even if I think the foreigner pool could be a bit stronger, I don't think the results would be too different. 2.- Nani is best foreigner protoss, hands down. Idra's position as best foreigner zerg is kinda doubtful, you can't be the best with that terrible mindset. 3.- Thorzain is a great player and TSL3 wasn't a fluke at all. Sheth shows TONS of promise, as do Major and ViBe, for the foreigner scene. 4.- Koreans are better showmakers as far as gaming stuff go. This whole "MC SO BM" thing is ridiculous, he's putting up a show. This is why MC's "BM" is different from idra's. He uses it to entertain the crowd, not to randomly dish shit like Idra does all the time. We could see how MC actually feels about his opponents. He very respectfully hand shook with nani and moon, and probably T-zain as well. 5.- Tastosis is funnier that Day/WHEAT, but the latter can make games a little more exciting. 6.- This was, all in all, a GREAT EVENT. Props to MLG for surviving the Dallas disaster and becoming a lot better. Really, congratulations, you've shown balls. Summs it up perfectly. Still I have hope that foreign players take this event as a motivation to beat koreans some day. The infrastrukture is set, many ppl can live of playing sc2, teamhouses are up and esports becomes bigger and bigger. The day will come... | ||
