In general EU has a lot of it's own unique things which exist either only in EU meta game or are far more common. Examples include going full Mech in TvT or TvZ Mass Brood/Infestor slow pushing as Zerg Expanding in PvP. Ling/Bane/Infestor in ZvP There's probably other quirks but these are the most obvious and a lot work great if you're both playing EU style, but it often gets completely shut down by Korean style which is generally just attacking all game. EU pro's tend to be a lot more passive than Koreans. | ||

I think it shows that many top foreigners are quite capable of taking games off top Koreans, they just have a tough time keeping that consistency in taking an entire series. | ||

It's often the first game they lose, generally because the foreigner knows the Korean's style but he doesn't know the foreigners. So they play the first game the foreigner catches him off guard and then the Korean thinks, "Oh, he plays that style, okay", and then he wins the next two games no problem. | ||

The massage thing is actually more north american ... something to do with prostitution being illegal makes massage parlors popular ... they all seem to have very dark thick drapes and rather concealed entrances too. | ||
