I'm not making up my own rules. The people who run the tournament decided that Huk, Idra, Haypro, Ret, etc count as Korean. I think they're more qualified than you or I to judge what soemthing means in the context of starcraft.

Yes but Huk's success should be credited to him living in korea... Huk is the only real foreign pro gamer because hes living with the oGs crew and practicing like them, the koreans are a level above everyone else not because they are genetically better, but rather they are better because of the way they live and practice to be a pro gamer.

i KNEW it. I even bet my close friend that the day HuK won anything substantial (Dreamhack), I knew foreigners would suddenly say he's NOT Korean. For months now, people used HuK as the argument for why Korean training didn't necessarily mean superiority and whenever there was a Koreans vs Foreigners argument, HuK was at the center of attention as an argument as to why Koreans were not better (aka. HuK was considered KOREAN).

Now that HuK has won two tournaments, now the foreigners are embracing him again. Hahahahaha, so ridiculous. Completely laughable.

Can you really use Messi as an example? I'd argue not because Argentina's football regiment is already very rigorous (unlike NA SC2 regiment vs Korean SC2). You could say Messi is Spanish trained, but at the end of the day, the Argentinian regiment he went through before going to Spain was already pretty intense, and going to Spain only built on what he had. Was HuK always amazing? That's debatable, but when he went to Korea he was hardly owning it up, it wasn't until he spent time training under the Korean regiment that he became as good as he has become lately. So to reiterate, I don't think your argument applies.

I bet with my friend as soon as HuK or Jinro won anything, people would consider them Foreigners again, I was right. Why are foreigners so desperate to have a "champion" that they can call "foreign" when the player themself has already considered themself Korean (like Jinro and HuK have openly admitted).

Is Sen about to get stabbed? Is he trapped in there? Has somebody called 911? Are they trying to get him out? He looks calm so far. But how long has he been in that dark closet? Where is the scary music coming from? Oh god Sen, watch out. SEN! SEN! Oh my god the music is picking up. It's getting faster. That's not good. Oh no, a choir is coming into the background. Brass instruments are picking up. The tempo is getting faster. OH MY GOD SEN GET OUT OF THERE. SOMETHING TERRIBLE IS GOING TO HAPPEN. SEN WATCH OUT SEN.

In English speaking countries, sometimes words are used to mean things other than their literal definition. May be it's different in Germany.
