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 | ||

The only way it wont is if foreigners suck it up and continue to challenge and face Koreans head on. Any other result will lead to the western scene falling. You can't ever reach the best if you don't face people that are better than you, so any kind of separation from the Korean scene is helping to widen the skill gap. | ||

A korean won MLG, good, the forgiven scene needs to get angry, train hard and seek revenge at Anaheim. STORYLINES PEOPLE, STORYLINES! Well, a single Bo3 roughly once a month for half the year isn't "as much as possible" but yes, that would be best. I wonder if some sort of practice partner agreement could be setup. But I don't know if it would be successful due to latency. Hmm. | ||

IdrA wouldn't have nearly as many fans if people didn't recognize him as the best NA Zerg. Yet, if you only watched games where IdrA gets stomped by Koreans, that'd never become apparent and he'd be just another foreigner Zerg. You can figure out who are the best players from a region even if Koreans are there. For example, one can deduce that Naniwa and Idra are the best foreigners given the results of this MLG. | ||

Stop being ridiculous. First, you say language is the problem and then when someone refutes it, you go on to say "no hes a Korean and will always be a korean". MC and a few other Koreans actually provide interviews all the time if you're following TL's SC2 forums. They do stream occasionally as well by request (often specifically for the foreign community), but the main reason they don't stream as much is that they don't like their 1st person view play being so widely available and scrutinized by their potential opponents. You are for some reason simply bitter and jealous. That's why you don't like the Koreans. | ||

I feel like soon enough we're going to see a divided foreign scene as well, those who compete internationally and those who can't. I won't single out any player who I believe will be on the "can't" side but players like Tzain, Nani, Idra, Ret, Jinro, Huk, (ik the last 2 weren't at MLG) ect will all use this as a REALLY important learning experience and come into aneheim looking for blood. | ||

Well if you want to take that approach, at the end of the day MC == Idra. They took the same number of games from each other in the tournament. I'm not fussed either way, they both got axed. Just saying your logic is flawed. | ||

You go to korea to get good. | ||

For example, one can deduce that Naniwa and Idra are the best foreigners given the results of this MLG. Not as much as you would be able to if you ran a foreigner tournament, since a lot of foreigners would have been knocked out by Koreans without ever getting the chance to play each other. For example, we never saw a Naniwa vs. IdrA game - so who is the better player between them? In a foreigner tournament they'd likely be the two finalists (along with Thorzain). | ||
