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.

That's exactly what the foreigners vs. Koeans discussion is about. HuK is essentially a Korean -- he lives with, plays with, and does everything with Koreans in Korea and he has done so for months now.

It should be quite obvious that Korean play is far superior to nonkorean play just by looking at the results of any LAN tournament Koreans attend. Even this Dreamhack was domianted by Koreans to the point that not a single Korean (yes, I include HuK as a Korean) lost to a nonkorean at all.


I didn't know Koreans had the monopoly in hard-work...


I'm sure it's no longer a western thing, protestant ethic finally disappeared. So you can consider that it's an asian monopoly, they've the only culture that promote so much hard-work.


You have to come here to Silicon Valley and then talk pal.. France != western world.


At least in France hard working is reward in studies not money. Yeah I can troll too.

Now in which western countries 5years old children work 10+ hours/day ? oh, 0.

Some comments here are kind of silly. Let me try to take this in a new direction

I can't wait to see how much Naniwa, Moon, Lyn and Thorzain improve when they get a chance to share their thoughts on matchups and practice korean-style in their new houses. Seeing as how Moon got the best of Naniwa today, maybe they will share some good ideas soon.

9 out of 10 doctors agree that 16 years in USA over 5 years in Canada MIGHT mean different things to different people!

He was born and raised in the US for 16 years.
After 16 years you don't get that choice.
He's an American that prefers to live in Canada, which isn't surprising

Getting citizenship just makes you a Canadian Citizen, not a pure Canadian


At the rate we are going, I might join him! XD

He didn't give up his citizenship at all, you can't just "give up citizenship"... he's American plain and simple. So much disinformation going on in this thread....

woha impressive.
in germany the politicans would rather gave away their seats than doing something like that....

The Swedish minister of culture (and all the major political parties youth organizations) had a debate on one of dreamhacks streams earlier today, discussing topics like culture & sports funding/taxing earlier today as well.

Is that true, at this rate Sweden is gonna take over EU in e-sports.

Why the whole Canada v US debate?
Huk is a American borned Canadian who trained in Korea, playing on a team founded by someone in the Netherlands, and sponsored by an American company.

Shipping that gaming monitor back to korea is going to cost huk some $$$ :p

He could give to TLO for safe-keeping in the sthlm progamer house

Not to try and take away from the win but Day9 was screaming 6 pool in that last game. And I was just wondering if anyone thinks HuK heard him? Could that have messed up the game results?


Wouldn't have made a difference either way.

Well if you are going to say it doesn't even matter, then don't even argue the point, otherwise you are encouraging people to respond.

Does anyone still doubt that if you don't live and train in Korea, then you have little chance of winning real prize money in foreigner tourneys? Props to HuK!

That is always what the discussions have been about and Huk winning proves it even more. I don't think anyone has claimed that Koreans are born in a particular way that makes them better.

They work harder, have better regimes and also gaming is accepted in Korea on a whole different level than rest of the world.

"HuK spent some time in Korea so he is Korean". It is ridiculous yet many keeps saying that.

The point is Huk is representative of the Korean practice regiment, not the "foreigner" practice regiment. He lives in a pro house in korea with another korean pro team practicing like the koreans. The whole korea vs world thing is fundementally an issue of comparing practice style + practice hours in different regions, not a debate on which ethnicity is inherently better at Sc2. Huk is training like a Korean, so his victory still demonstrates the superiority of Korean practice over foreign practice.

Since this has turned into a discussion of geography and everything not SC II related.

France is and has historically always been catholic so not exactly protestant work ethic
