It's really not obvious at all. All that matters from a spectator PoV is that tournaments provide the highest level of play, leading to great games. I couldn't care less if MLG pools ended up being 100% Korean as long as those players provided a higher level of play.

Good for you. Personally I like to see people from my region win. Root for the home team right? : )

It will never get to the level of BW though, yeah they are better but it won't be like BW where the game is so outrageously difficult that koreans can win without really trying. ret said it better than I did when he was in Korea he said that in BW he could feel himself getting stronger day in day out whereas with SC2 the difference isn't that huge. Yet. Koreans werent "toying with us" better until post 2002, and given the pace and degree of their raping us [and the potential growth of sc2 given broodwars state...] I'm not particularly optimistic. Hopefully the foreigners start taking this more seriously, because if it DOES turn out like broodwar...well, most of the money and tournies are in the foreign scene, and I cant imagine finding the same 20-35 korean players dominating the entire scene being interesting.
I actually find it very interesting that the best players win. GOGO Koreans!

At least the skill gap in SC2 is much smaller than in BW. That gives hope that foreigners can actually win an international tourney like Huk has done.

Is there anyway to watch the restream of the first day? I can only find the restream of the second one.
I'm searching for a song that was played during a pause. Some party song. Does somebody know how it is called?
"We can go and dance", "We can have a drink" etc.

Uhm, how much koreans were at the HSC? At the Dreamhack koreans dominated themselves, Huk just got only to beat Moon, if I remember correctly.
But yeah, I think we all would like to see foreigners defeat koreans from time to time. Even if they need to train as hard as koreans, to achieve that. Everything in this world has a price, and being one of the best as a professional players is one of these things. If you want something you have to pay.
I'd better not watch SC2 anymore, than watch players not improving.
And yes, I DONT play sc2 myself. And never played. And I dont play any other videogames. I have other things I like to do, and I dont see myself wasting my time. But it is still fun to watch the highest level professional games, and of course I want the foreigners to win over the koreans, but if they don't improve drastically, I dunno. I might not watch it anymore either. GSL is kinda boring for me if I don't see some foreginers competeing there. A little bit contradicting, but I don't mind. Fuuhh, writing in english still is not as easy for me as I thought. Bah!
