And why must HuK be classified as a Korean? Why is he not classified as an extremely hardworking foreigner? Is there some rule that when someone is really good and trains in Korea that it means he's automatically Korean? | ||

They just invite Moon to all these foreign tournaments just to guarantee the foreigners will have at least one win. | ||

Clearly they think that style of practicing has value. HOWEVER, what InControl and Idra were actually saying is that the TOURNAMENT scene of Korea isn't worth it because of the lack of tournaments and time commitment per payoff. The west has tons of cash up and way better opportunity for the team to do well and attract attention to them and their sponsors. Try to not misquote people when you have your axe to grind. Well, that's actually bullshit as well. If you look at the Korean vs Foreigner winnings statistics, Koreans have won far far more. And also it isn't just about playing the game and winning as much as possible as soon as possible. None of the US players are at the peak of their skill, they should go to Korea and get good. Once they feel that a skill plateau is incoming they can go to the West to take down the lesser tournies (which also pay out way less) | ||

There is no ABSOLUTE superiority, there is RELATIVE superiority. In one tournament one guy is better than the others and wins. The next tournament another guy is better at the time and wins. The next tournament someone else is better and wins. Not because X player performed better than A in Y tournament, if on the next tournament X loses to A, X is still better overall - no, he was better than A previously, now A is better. That's all And stop saying that a player won because the other player played bad, that's just a dumb reason imho (although there are exceptions). Usually if a player played bad is because the other player made him play bad | ||

Being forced to make Banelings by a Blink Stalker / Storm composition sounds like pretty crappy play to me. | ||

They produce good players, but not good teams.Btw that's the problem Brazil has always had, awesome players, but 0 teamwork. When messi came to Spain he was average. And the proof is that no Argentinian team dared to pay for his treatment. He moved the ball like god but he had no sprint and his stamina was VERY poor. Do you see the sprints nad rythm changes where he breaks the defence? It's a product from La Masia. If Huk trains in Korea and plays like a korean he's technically korean. When people say foreigners can't compete with koreans, they mean the foreigner training system can't compete with the korean one. The majority of great foreigners (exceptuating some like Naniwa and Sen) are great because they went to korea to train. | ||
