MKP won the FXOpen Invitational Series #3, back-to-back golds (and $2900) wouldn't be half bad.

Not a huge deal but would be nice to have commentary. No, read earlier - Wolf was MIA and Unstable just had some dentist work done and it's too painful to talk. | ||

Eh, I think that's kind of unfair to the German viewers or those tuning in for the German casting. It's unfortunate there's no English, but ultimately that's FXO's fault. | ||

It makes perfect sense to have it in German and it really doesn't take much away from the games for other fans, except that it is very early in the morning in Germany atm. | ||

When I was in Germany every teen/young adult I met could speak English. It's not like Korea or something where nobody studies English. It's just a guess, but I'd imagine most of the people watching his stream can't speak German since it's 6 AM in Germany. | ||

The main difference is that people from Altaic and Sino-Tibetan language backgrounds (basically, Asian) have a much higher degree of difficulty in picking up the language. The German language is in the same language group as English...so of course it's easier to learn. | ||

D: I've heard that if you have a college degree you can go to Korea and teach English without knowing Korean. I think their quality of English education (or emphasis on learning English) is not quite as high as Germany, especially when you see that the Koreans that come to international tournies have to have translators. MC is the only Korean SC2 pro I've seen speak more than one or two words of English and that can probably be attributed to living with English speaking Liquid members. | ||

Let's not forget that these progamers aren't necessarily the best students. I know plenty of Chinese kids who have excellent English comprehension and speaking ability, straight out of highschool, without any special tutoring. And, as far as I know, the English education system in China isn't even as good as the South Korean system. | ||
