So? What are you trying to imply here? Pro players shouldn't be allowed to stream when events are going on?
He should probably spend his time watching his superiors and hopefully learn from their play instead if complaining about koreans in foreign tournaments. Might help him get better.

I mean normally people complain about the volatility of SC2..... any random Code A player would go better than 0-8 or 3-22 (or whatever the dreamhack score was) due to said volatility. It just seems that most "top" NA/EU players arent even close to Code A, much less Code S quality. I dont know if theres even a handful of players outside Korea of Code A quality. Naniwa probably, maybe Idra, Whitera, Thorzain, Select. Give or take one or two names, rest just seems to not be at that level or close to it.
Naniwa, Thorzain, Huk and Idra are not here, even though they were eliminated/no invite etc... they are the foriegn "powerhouses"
Thats my point. Knowing that theres maybe 5 (?) foreigners among the 50ish (64 players are Code A or S) best players in the world, and probably no more than 10 in top 100..... thats very discouraging.

it's not like... ...the event is already delayed ...they have 3 casters who did something for the last hour ...tastosis cast a single game ...we have 45 minute player introduction anyway
Ya I agree with this... and it's also single elimination so the tournament itself is quite short. It seems like they could fit much more in.
At least they seem to have dealt with most of the technical problems... though I'm not sure how all the problems weren't caught in the test run they did... or how everything just so happened to go to shit once they went live... whichever it may have been.

What. They have different players playing. This is completely different. To compare it is disgraceful. It's actually spitting on the face of Thorzain who complained about the conditions.

Because people like watching korean players and foreigners compete against each other. Also it makes foreigner players realize they need to put more time into SC if they want to be the best and why wouldn't you want to watch the highest level play. Having koreans play with foreigners is a good thing and I'm glad korean players and playing at foreign tournaments =D

dont forget that the players had more than 1 game at MLG. They have loads of time here to eat shit etc.. why get rest when you dont play anyways
