To each his own. It's pretty fun to watch with TB talking over it haha

besides, it's so much better than watching people argue over whether huk is foreign or korean

Ok, going by your logic there are quite a few Korean losses today. Jinro lost a lot, and he's 'korean'. Also, Haypro lost quite a lot and he is (was?) 'korean'.

So, the try to justify that koreans > nonkoreans failed anyways.

That's great for foreigners - it proves (to those who still didn't realize it before) that it's not about race or nationality of birth, but about the culture you live in. That means foreigners could over time build strong communities able to produce many RTS beasts like the Asians (and not just occasional exceptional foreigners).

Guys.

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

Go figure, new game, new age, new mindset. Are you TRYING to be dense?

Those guys also never full integrated into a Korean house on the same level as Huk. The only similarity is those guys all aren't Korean citizens.

I think you mean Catalan Barcelona did not cheer for Spain when it won the WC, I think that is pretty telling of where their sentiments lie. But good point nonetheless.

Its like saying all football/soccer pros are from whatever country they are currently playing a league in. 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.
