Sadly after all this time with so many tournament threads it still is not clear to many users on this site. There are several types of posts that are not acceptable in tournament threads. Any form of: Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining Will result in two day to a week long bans even for first offenses. Please stick to the games at hand and enjoy yourselves with a beautiful event such as this and the free service that comes with it. | ||

So, the try to justify that koreans > nonkoreans failed anyways. Except I'm not trying to justify that koreans > nonkoreans? Yes Jinro and Haypro lost, they are representative of the Korean style which was defeated. That goes more for the "Koreans are not that much better than foreigners" standpoint than trying to act like I'm making an excuse for Moon's loss. | ||

That means foreigners could over time build strong communities able to produce many RTS beasts like the Asians (and not just occasional exceptional foreigners). I think his point was that kimchi is what gives Koreans their amazing powers. | ||

The reason we are having a distinction between Koreans and Foreigners (aka THE REST OF THE ENTIRE PLANT) in the first place is not the difference in nationality or "race". It's because Koreans live and train in KOREA which gives them a whole other environment to train and improve in than anywhere in the rest of the world. People are calling HuK 'Korean' because he has been living in that climate for the last couple of months now, as opposed to foreigners who aren't in Korea. Of course no one is claiming that he is an actual Korean now, but in Starcraft II context he can be considered 'Korean' because of his circumstances. That's the same as saying that SelecT is effectively a Foreigner at the moment because he isn't living in Korea (and thus not in a perfect sc2 pro-gaming environment). Don't play dumb and pretend like some people actually consider HuK to be of the Korean nationality now, you can understand the point if you want to This, now lets all get back to the games. | ||

The only similarity is those guys all aren't Korean citizens. The hell? Naz and Elky were both on the AMD team, which eventually became eSTRO. | ||

Other than that, if you invite the best players in the world, then I fully expect them to win. The # of protoss will slowly decline as the non protoss players left are very good against protoss. For example, july Idra and bomber have the capacity to beat every protoss remaining. Most bracket predictions had this many protoss qualifying so the real surprise to me is that there are no huge upsets. GL everyone! | ||

Wich also would mean that 50% or so of the swedish olympic games hockey team is American/Canadian. I understand what the OP and his friends means but if we are gonna call E-sport a sport lets not make a difference between this sport and other sports. The Sedin brothers are swedish regardless of what country their club is in. That would make Huk canadian regardless of where he currently is stationed. Like any other sport. Yeah exactly, it's common sense. | ||
