Yea it's true but when you are learning in school and university you must learn the kanji. Also to read newspaper and stuff. Japanese is actually quite easy though, maybe 2 years of studying and you can go to Japan and be 90% fluent.

Wow, I'm a Sen fan now @_@"" I can see that. But Losira, DRG and Nestea are all better than sen. Clearly the best foreigner? Maybe the best foreign Zerg, but Huk has clearly established himself as the top foreigner at the moment. No, huk isn't the best foreigner at all. I'd take dimaga/throzain/sen/naniwa/idra before huk because they've been much more consistent. Idra consistent? Is that a joke? Huk won Dreamhack, HSC3 and is doing fantastic in Code S. Yeah, what a sloppy, inconsistent player. I'm going to try to stay away from fanboy-wars as possible, but winning the first MLG and then doing literally nothing until HSC3 and Dreamhack isn't particularly consistent. IdrA was in code S his entire time in Korea including during the open tournaments which you could argue were much more volatile and continued to place high/win events like MLG, IPL, etc. To say HuK has been more consistent is plain silly. Except his wins DH and beyond are after he went to Korea and trained, whereas after Idra left Korea his results were mediocre. Are you gonna point out that he won King of the Beta tournament as well? And ultimately, even if he were the best player (no,) it's clear that his attitude problem makes him volatile and prone to leave games at the slightest provocation. That in itself makes him inconsistent.
He was the second best zerg in the hardest MLG ever after leaving korea and went undefeated in by far the hardest group...it's not about leaving korea, it's about him practicing at a certain level. He didn't just become worse stepping onto American soil.

It has nothing to do with knowing syllables or memorizing vocabulary but everything with how the language is constructed in an entirely different manner from western languages. Grammar is entirely different.
You can chop shop the grammar, theyll get it. Same thing happens going to english remember?

Well, the only distinction between the Koreans and the foreigners is the way they approach competition. So it's perfectly sensible to say HuK is "Korean" in his approach and Canadian-American in his nationality since they are two separate things.

when you look at his gsl preformance yeah he hasent done well but look who he played.
he lost in code A in the ro8 to losira who went on to win it and has really good ZvP
he lost wc to MVP who went on to win it, lost 2-1 btw.
he lost to inca and july in may gsl. inca has one of the best PvP in the world, and losing to july is respectable.
he lost to polt in the super tournament who went on to win it.
plus he won dream hack. Yeah I agree. And now HuK is up against the ropes with MC. I sorta wish one of these seasons HuK could be carried to the top by facing legacy code Sers on the way off the map like we see sometimes.
Well last time they played (Homestory cup?) Huk won over MC iiirc. I am pretty sad that MC and huk will face of in ro16 though since they are probably my 2 favorite players (at least in GSL) So would like to see both of them go further : (

When you look at the three major East-Asian languages: Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, Korean is actually the easiest to pick-up. Japanese is based on a three-alphabet system (their kids have to go through an extra year at the kindergarten/elementary level to pick up the basics). In order to even go through basic sentence construction in Chinese, you have to memorize at least a few hundred ideograms because there isn't a phonetic alphabet system.
Modern Korean is actually a relatively new language (introduced circa 15th century) and was developed with ease of learning in mind.

Can't believe I actually rely on a Terran whiping MC's butt... sad day for Zerg -.- dude if anyone can take out mc there its a korean terran. korean terrans are just scary as shit in general. Yeah sure but the fact that I have to trust on Koriterrans because Zergs aren't able to handle it is a disgrace... So Losira at MLG doesn't count for anything? Or the fact that MC is actually really good and the majority of the 16 spots were Zergs? Makes it even worst tbh. The Zergs that know lategame compositions get cheesed early, the ones that know macro style multiple harrass midgame antics get to lategame and throw it away. It's just frustrating to watch and read about how great MC plays... I am not saying he is getting free wins...all I'm saying is he shouldn't win 3 v 5 base against any Zerg that knows how to play lategame Zerg.
Your understanding of the game is shallow. 3v5 bases does not and should not equal auto win for any zerg. The last game Sen lost because MC's control was much better and his DT harass was brilliant. The game before that sen made like 12+ broodlords and no anti air.
Sen probably would have beat any other protoss in those late game situations, but he's playing against MC, the best player in the world right now
|
In game 4 though Sen outplayed MC so much it was not even funny. He had MC contained so much he was going to have a hard time keeping his 4th let alone trying to take a 5th, Sen was on 7 bases and could of easily gone up to 8 or 9. Mc was getting mined out and had to make a push and it would of failed had sen not had 15+ broods and lost them. So not only is that a coupe thousand gas and min lost but now MC breaks out to take a 5th with a strong army.
If Sen had not made not made that second batch of 7 or 9 broods and keep them as corrupters or made almost anything else there was no way MC was going to win that battle. Once you have about 7 broods you dont need anymore
Big props to MC though, to pull out a win in game 4 by breaking into the one week point that sen had in that game was just amazing game sense.

For the last time. IT'S A STARCRAFT TERM. (Sorry for the caps lock)
There are other terms you could say the same thing about. Cheese for instance.
"Derp derp derp cheese is what you eat. What do they mean they "cheese" someone?
Bah it doesn't matter that it means something else in this game, it's still a dairy product."
It's not unimaginably complicated.

yes, but this isn't soccer. this is starcraft. and in starcraft, when you say korea, it has generally been implied that you're talking about those who practiced under the korean infrastructure. Plus, it is insulting to say select is represents the "korean" scene. If he won NASL or MLG, it would be a win for the foreigners, NOT korea.

I actually find kanji helpful because Japanese writing doesn't utilizes space so I have to sound out what I read of an all-kana sentence in order to make sense of it whereas with kanji you can instantly pick out the nouns.
