I really wish Moletrap and Wolf, moreso Moletrap than Wolf, would stop making sure to point out every possible excuse for the foreigners. Then also trying to give them points for not getting completely owned when they lose close. It makes the foreigner scene seem so weak. Even if they get totally bashed like they did tonight for the most part we should have the respect to hold them to a standard where losing isn't good enough. You don't have to bash them or go hard on them, but don't look to force out compliments in games that they lose. It really irks me cause it does more harm than good in terms of trying to get people to feel like foreigners can compete.
They are giving out quite a few "A for effort" ribbons aren't they. Next thing you know, they'll get kudos for getting in the right booth.

What a terrible day for international Starcraft. 
Jinro proves that the system works as intended. He was ahead of the curve 8-9 months back but has steadily fallen behind as everyone else got better and better. That he's now out of the GSL is appropriate with the success and level of play he's shown.
Thorzain is a beast, he looked really great out there and could have totally taken that series. It's too bad that he won't be there for the next Code A season,but I'm expecting great things from him in the GSTL.
SaSe looked disappointing, but his interview prior to the event gives me hope. He's going to stay, he's going to improve and he's going to show results, no doubt about that. I only fear that his showing today prevents him from getting a good offer from one of the teams there (because they're not aware of his actual level of play).
Naniwa also played below par, and Check handled it well. Same as T-Zain, looking forward to his GSTL performances as his level increases because of the Korean training.
We've had a regular rollercoaster of emotions in the last couple weeks as far as NA/EU participation in the GSL is concerned. FXO looking hopeful -> FXO getting crushed -> qxc all-killing IM -> Code A August Ro32 being a slaughter.

Idra qualified for the easiest seasons. Jinro was in GSL in the later stages, when it got harder. Idra left because he knew it was too hard for him and decided to grab easy foreigner money instead. Then the Koreans came, and now Idra only has IPL for making money.

GSL need some good foreigners if they wan't to get a bigger fanbase in EU/NA. Won't be a great promotion for GSL at BlizzCon if the upcoming Season has no foreigners left. Arguably those were the "good" foreigners if not the best we had based on achievements, rankings, and geographical scene. Honestly there's still a lot of good talent to take from Europe, wish I could say the same about America.
Its funny you say that as more players from NA have won GSL games than ones from Europe

Idra had been in every GSL since the first though.

Yeah, not like he's got a winning record against the only foreigner left in code S or anything. You could make the same argument against huk.

Because Jinro, IdrA, and Huk are the only foreigners to do well in GSL
But people will still dis-credit their achievements saying the game was "herp derp easier" back then.

in naniwas defense, it wasn't his play that was bad, it was his build. stargate builds are over What other builds can protoss do? A spore colony at each base shuts down DTs, 6 gateway builds are easily scouted and stopped and faster robos are autoloss if zerg goes mutas.
Something safe? Every build you listed is a risk (aside from faster robos, which isn't autoloss btw, you can transition just fine). Sentry/blink stalker is a strong composition against any mix the zerg can send in the early midgame; you can easily start blink and expand quite safely.

Idra is the only foreigner with results in the GSL. Jinro has come closest with a Ro4 showing in the GSL, but idra had consistency crazy foo Pretty sure jinro had as much consistency, idra just left sooner and seeing as how idra is still having trouble in foreigner events I doubt he could hold his own in code S anymore, let alone code A. Level of competition today is a lot different than it was months ago. lol what, he's performed better than almost any foreigner in MLGs than anyone and the only players that were close to him were huk and naniwa. Doesnt make sense. Good MLG results for a foreigner is hardly anything. He placed high in colombus but I think there were several people ahead of him at anaheim. Also outside of that he's done pretty god damn horribly and nothing really shows that he can compete with koreans at all. I don't know why you would ever think that just because of his past results in GSL months ago would set him up to be good right now considering lots of people who were doing well back then are getting knocked out as we speak.
after today it's pretty clear to see how few foreigners there are who can compete with koreans. it's really just huk and maybe some of the FXO guys like QXC. IdrA when he's practiced can as well, the EG house will do wonders for him.

There are many foreigner pro-gaming team-houses forming up but I think they are insufficient. In Korea, the pro-gaming teams are interlinked quite a bit. Often, during an interview, you'll find people thanking players from other teams. The foreign scene needs to develop this networked infrastructure.

Idra qualified for GSL1, GSL2, GSL3, and was in code S before he left lmao. We don't know how well idra would have done in korea since he left though.
