Goddamn  Uh, there's no such language as Taiwanese, you racist. I speak Americanese. Yes there is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_Hokkien Hokkien is a Chinese dialect. Taiwanese Hokkien is probably just the Taiwanese style of that dialect. Taiwanese is technically not a language. And Sen spoke Chinese to the girl It is literally called Taiwanese by Taiwanese themselves. "台語" Your argument is akin to saying that Taiwan is technically not Taiwan but rather the ROC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Englishhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singaporean_EnglishBoth those English variations are commonly known as Singlish and Manglish respectively in those countries, but they are basically just English with a little bit of Malay and Chinese words and expressions. Doesn't make it a separate language. Also, dialects and languages are different. Anyway, point is, Sen spoke Chinese to the girl. No need to continue this debate further. You are wrong and obviously don't know what you're talking about. Taiwanese is not Mandarin with a little bit of culture thrown in with it. They may have both originated from the same language, but they are now completely different languages. It's like how humans are not chimpanzees despite sharing common ancestors. Please do not try to pretend you know what you're talking about. Taiwanese is a completely different language to Mandarin, just like how Japanese is different from Mandarin. For my own interests, is this comparable to latin, italian, spanish, and french? All have similarities, but they are not necessarily mutually intelligible. Taiwanese and Mandarin are two separate languages, just like how Spanish and English are two separate languages. It's not just a matter of different pronounciation of words, but different words altogether. A few decades ago speaking Taiwanese was banned in law by the KMT ruling party because they wanted to assert Chinese superiority and you could be put in jail for speaking Taiwanese.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Taiwan
The language with the most native speakers in Taiwan is Taiwanese Hokkien, or "Taiwanese" for short. Hokkien is a topolect of the Chinese family of languages originating in southern Fujian and is spoken by many overseas Chinese throughout Southeast Asia. Recently there has been a growing use of Taiwanese in the broadcast media.
The language with the second most native speakers in Taiwan is now Mandarin. Mandarin is spoken as a first, second or third language by virtually all Taiwanese under the age of 60. Standard Chinese has been the only officially sanctioned medium of instruction in the schools in Taiwan since the late 1940s.
Note that Mandarin is referred to as a second language. Not the same language with a different accent like Malay Mandarin and Singapore Mandarin, as the other ignorant poster was implying.

What's so funny about that? There's atleast one foreigner in the RO8.
Why is it not funny? I am Asian and it's pretty funny to me:o
Different humor I guess...

I have so say that the biggest difference between Koreans and Non-Koreans (Westerners, to be precise) is the multitasking ability.

Here we go boys..people putting sen under the same category as the koreans now because he's asian.

Alive looks like a cute version of MC without the horrible attitude

The terran map pool combined with TvZ dominance in general is creating a lot of anticlimactic games

Does anyone else feel like the foreigners are just being totally out classed I mean the games haven't even been close with the exception of Sen in a mirror. It's like watching a car wreck.
This has been the story for the last few months. The Koreans are just practicing harder. Hopefully this serves as a wake-up call for the western scene.

Just go to bed and wake up at 7-8am That's one good thing about loving E-Sports in Australia. Both Nasl and GSL are on at normal times of the day. You lucky bastard! i envy you Don't. I can't go and see any major international event without shelling out for plane tickets. I'd gladly swap you. Don't forget paying through the nose for any video game XD
Oh yeah, forgot about that. SC2 is still about $90, even though our dollar is the best it's ever been.
