Sadly it seems I have to put this up yet again. Any of the following types of posts will be met with immediate bans:

Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining/Off topic arguing.

Stick to the games and enjoy the event and its free services and coverage.

I think its great that Huk has done well here, as it is showing that it was a good idea for him to go to korea and stick it out.

Hopefully this will convince more top foreigners to try their hand in the GSL and GSTL.

Gogo nani, thorzain and sase! (and huk/jinro + fxo ofcourse!)

In SC:BW, there was the same situation with idrA, he was in Korea training and playing AND STILL he was considered a foreigner (he could e.g play in the foreign only tounament TSL2)

Well, they can't take their prime horse out of the seemingly forever-lost foreigner vs korean debate.

Suddendly people think the nation where you play has to determine your nationality. It isn't like this in ANY sport, so please stfu. If people move to a nation with better infrastructures for training they don't change nationality. Messi and Ronaldo isn't spanish , they play in spanish teams. Same goes for Huk, he isn't Korean for the mother of god, he play in a korean team.

I couldn't care less about who win but the fanboysm in this thread is making me puke.

Yeah and it isn't about nationality but practice environment / scene.

People like iNcontroL and IdrA have been spouting nonsense like "Korea isn't the place to be"

Bullshit.

Yeah if you wanna feast on the scraps and be a B-class player, stay in the US or wherever, but if you wanna take the big tournies and be the best player you can be there is absolutely no alternative to going to Korea.

Couldn't have put it better my friend. If us non-koreans ever establish anything close to the training/tournament system they have set-up. I might start taking iNcontrols, IdrA, demuslim etc comments seriously.

This is just silly, InControl and the whole EG team have said that they really want to ramp up their practice schedule and will be creating their own team house to achieve a Korean-like regiment for the next MLG. 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)

Because it's that easy. Goodbye family and friends, whole lifestyle, bills, commitments/dependents, culture, girlfriend if i have one, country i love... etc etc... I'm just gonna drop everything and move over to a country where i don't speak a word of the spoken language and try and compete for 1 tournament. It will for a long time probably cost me more money than i make but what the hell, there's a chance i might be better for it so it's worth the risk.

Yep, that's the pro-gamers choice. He can either strive to be the best player he can be, or live a more comfortable life in the US. Not everyone can be at the top, and it should be reserved to those that are willing to sacrifice the most for it.

Messi plays a Spanish style of football though, even Argentinians say that while Messi is an Argentine national he is a product of Spanish football.

Just like Huk is a Canandian but is a product of Korean Starcraft.

wtf are you talking about Messi is a product of the argentinians football school.

You have no idea wtf you talking about Brazil and Argentina got some of the best football schools in the world.

Jesus crist some of you people just plain silly

barca signed messi when he was 13.

So you got no idea how the argentina schools work. The best players from age 5-6 get recruited into those schools.

Messi was allrdy a wunderkid when he was 13 just like Maradona was when he was 10. just like Ronaldo was when he was 15 and moved to Amsterdam

Plz stop talking about football stick to sc2

yes, those 6 early years obviously has meant a lot more for him than the 11 he have had in spain.
lol.

Do you see the sprints nad rythm changes where he breaks the defence? It's a product from La Masia.

yep, seems that drugs are better in Spain than in other countries nowadays (joking aside, it's a real problem in spanish sport, with a bigger extend than most of the other countries)

So you believe Barcelona are doped?

Not disagreeing with you, but I think they just pay refs IMO XD

Professionnal soccer is quite silly imo, there is like no control and so much money... Maybe we're going to see a lot of prematurate death in 20years ;D (surely)

Indeed my love for the sport can't blind me from how horrible it has gotten lately. I love watching my childhood club fail time and time again (Feyenoord lol), but with the premiership falling to money Soccer/Football as a whole is starting to interest me less and less. I really hope the financial fairplay helps, but looking at the recent purchases by clubs I doubt it will.
