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. Yeah, that is quite a consistent list of accomplishments for his ~1 year career. OH WAIT.. name a foreigner more consistent Why do I have to name a foreigner more consistent? It won't give Huk's consistency any more credibility.
You don't seem to understand what consistency means. Over a one year period, I would expect a BIG difference actually. You think a player can't improve or fall off greatly over the period of one year?
Being INCONSISTENT would entail losing/winning wildly over a SHORT period of time, which is clearly not the case with Huk. He is getting CONSISTENT, solid results after he went to a new environment and upped his game.

No, they didn't. By 8:00, when it's supposed to start, they were already on game 3.
It's good that they follow the schedule exactly in some ways. Players know exactly when they will be needed to play so they can do stuff with that in mind. People at the event can do other things in the mean time. Let's people plan around it. But IMO there needs to be some flexibility.

For example Semifinals Match 1 and 2 should be lumped between 6-10pm. So if Match 1 finishes quickly you can begin Match 2 right away without the rigidness of having to start exactly at 8:00 even if Match 1 finishes 1 hour early. This schedule of 1 match then wait a variable amount then 1 match is a little annoying. A 2-3 matches then a break would be better.

It's quite a bit though. I think. It's in euros but if euros are worth more than the dollar, then it's quite expensive xD

IMO it's just easier to identify with someone who speaks your language, represents your nationality, etc. Sure they in reality have nothing to do with you, but it works in the same way as being a sports fan of your local team or your alma mater.
I want to have someone to root for because any sort of game/sport is so much more fun to watch when you are emotionally invested. Who should I choose between Boxer and MC? If I'm T, probably Boxer. Who should I choose between Idra and July? If I'm American, probably Idra. They're all great SC2 players, but I have more in common with one so maybe I'll root for them.
However, I do agree that blatant nationalist intolerance is deplorable.

If Sen can go to Korea to train fully as a progamer, he will be a beast. I love Sen cos hes just semi-pro from Taiwan where virtually he can't not find any decent practice partner. He only relies on himself and laddering but still archive a high level of playing.
Fnatic, send Sen to Korea, or some pro house in EU or NA. He will rape everyone!!!! Sen already practices on the KR server, it's why he is as good as he is. Without a progaming team that also does so however I don't see him getting much better. Huk wouldn't be as amazing right now without teammates like MC to practice with. What do you mean? Practice on ladder is not enough and Sen is already on Fnatic but he has no one to practice in real life and hes not full time pro like Huk or Idra. Why don't you see him getting much better? Sen was one of the best foreigner Zerg in SC:BW. Sen needs to switch to full-pro and get to a practice house. Ladder is never enough!!! Fnatic is not a korean team, and Sen is their best member. I just don't feel that Idra or Sen will be able to get better without being in korea, training with equal-level players full time. Sen is able to take a edge because he lives in Taiwan and can play KR ladder without huge lag. Where did I say Fnatic is a Korean team??? And Idra WAS in Korea for 3 years and basically I don't see Idra getting any better cos hes maxed out after stay so many years in Korea while Sen on the other hand has never been a full time pro and got so much potential to be better if he can practice in any pro-house. As I say before, ladder is not enough, you need team-mate or top practice partners around you to really improve. Look at what Ogs-TL house in Korea did for Jinro(2 time GSL semi final) and Huk.
Yeah, agreed. Huk himself said that his time in Korea was not a waste because he would not be half as good as he is now if it weren't for his time spent practicing with and around Koreans.
And, Sen will not be with Fnatic for long. He said he would not renew his contract, I'm assuming he's going to spend alot of time hyping his own country's TeSL and join one of the teams as a player.
