He's Taiwanese, so he is a non-Korean. I don't like the term "foreigner" because it implies that there is one place that is "native". Korea was that place in BW - Korea is not that place for SC2. | ||

Not going to happen they adjust so that every time they have needed workforce at the shift.and if you felt like complaining at DH being 2h late and then taking breaks at that, I would not have complained. huge mess ups like this aren't acceptable in sports, why should we accept it? this I even payed for. I still wonder how the heck is E-sports ever gonna grow above being BS minority crap when the quality of all these tournaments are like this. Huge caps here and there, people needing to watch endless blank screens and listen to BS music without even knowing when will stream return. Have you ever watched for example golf or so? They put people on the track at different times and if they have nothing to show, they at least play some records or something for people to watch. I wanna see any major sports event where people are forced to watch blank screen with music for hour or more just cause some players are eating. Rofl!! That sport would be out of TV pretty fast. Same goes for E-sports... As long as every tournament is this same s*t I should stay away.... I still wonder why did I even bother to come to watch this, thinking this time it might be something better, when I knew it would not. How the heck this same thing can be happening again and again and nithing happening to it? How stupid you need to be when someone else makes all the mistakes or even better you do, and yet you go and do it again even people complains? No one has times for when Tiger Woods is at 18th hole. they have time fore when Tiger starts their round. As we have for when tournament begins. After that it should be contious rock and roll. Players play for audience. If not then F them off. Cause audience pays, no one else. It is not about where you live, and when is someone playing. It is about knowing that tournament starts at X and then you know to count that player Y plays about at Z, not that you wait at middle of the night for hour to see some meaningless game (for you) untill next interesting game comes up. | ||

He is a Chinese player, who plays a lot of foreign tournaments. You don't see much of the Chinese players, but they are really really strong. Tons of them are high ranked on the Korean ladder, and they had a very strong showing in StarsWars tourney. Because they are generally not well integrated to the foreign scene I would consider them separate. | ||

In this case, HuK is a product of the Korean training model and thus should be considered a Korean in this context. What a stupid argument anyways. Who cares.Playing a video game in another country makes you that country's ethnicity? What? OT: Yes Tastetosis! Cant wait. Hopeful the audio will hold up or I will be a sad panda. | ||

 Entertainment for me looks different. Why are there so smart guys like Day9, Artosis and Tasteless and no one of them is doing something between the games? Would be a lot better to watch and not getting tired. | ||

Luckily, there is no need to use these words ambiguously, because we have perfectly acceptable alternatives, denoting both the nationality of a player, and the server he plays on. Huk is a Canadian playing on the Korean server. My sentence is much clearer than your sentence and provides more information. Hence, I'd consider it the better, and more correct way to talk about a player. Ok, fair enough. However, when someone calls Huk a Korean, it's obvious that it's referencing his training environment rather than his nationality. Again, it's a matter of context. | ||
