Obligatory public note for all large tournament threads:

The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:

1. Whining about stream
2. Bashing other games
3. Flaming other users
4. Bashing players
5. Complaining about imbalance.

It is in no way complete. Keep in mind that there's a difference between pointing out that the SC2 and CoD streams were switched and whining about it (same thing on pointing out/asking about stream lag and whining about it, etc.). Also, just because you post something and aren't immediately banned for it doesn't mean you won't get caught. We'll be going through this thread very carefully.

That being said, enjoy today's games!

So silly, I really can't think of anything other than skin color that makes Korea different. People love it when good Swedes dominate but if it's Koreans, oh no this tournament is such a boring roflstomp.

Totally agree with this, although I wouldn't have put it as well as you did. Don't get all the anti-Korean sentiment when they play so much better than everyone else.

They do, but I love me some underdogs. Its the same reason I root for "bad" sports teams a lot of the time. Its awesome when someone who works really hard but isn't expecting results sees pay off!

Only in this case the Koreans clearly work harder...I too root for hard working underdogs, unfortunately only a select few foreigners practice as hard as Koreans, and those are the ones who practice in Korea lol

Yea, while I generally root for the underdogs I also like seeing the ones working hardest get rewarded for their hard work.

Uhhh...are people legit saying it's bad to cheer for players from your country? Isn't it equivalent to cheering on the soccer team from your city (like Leeds people cheering for the Leeds soccer team) or people from Green Bay cheering on the Green Bay Packers in the NFL? The Detroit Lions lost 0-13 this last season in the NFL, and no one looked at the stadium full of fans from Detroit and said "Hey you xenophobic jackasses, cheer for the New England Patriots! They're the better team, they deserve your cheers!"

I agree, I root for players specifically not nationalities. I think rooting for foreigners or being a fan of foreigners for the sake of them being a foreigner is just nonsensical. I don't think I will ever understand it. Whenever someone posts the "foreigners fighting" slogan for GSL events I grow a brain tumor.


Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The best players happen to be Korean because they practice harder and sacrifice more for their play, and there's absolutely nothing undesirable about seeing the most deserving players win.

makes it way less exciting to just know who is going to win based on the flag. Every time Korean loses to a foreigner means that we are 1 step closer to having even and truly competetive scenes. Like La Liga vs Premier league vs Seria A. Instead of a minor league vs a major league
So.. this Earth, nice planet you might say- WRONG!!

HuK pretty much said the same thing in his interview with Carmac, in game, there's alot of disagreements and rivalry, but outside they've been on good terms for a long time.

I'm sorry to say this, but the current korean dominance is killing the enjoyment of western tournaments for me. There's just no one to root for, because no one seems to have a chance.


kiwikaki, naniwa, huk.... what are you talking about?

When is the last time they won? I agree with original poster. I love to see Koreans be in foreign tourney, but not to dominate. Right now we are basicaly giving money away to support Korean esports.


kiwi beat nada today. naniwa is a beast and is practicing in korea now; showing some great improvement. huk is in code s ro8 so.....

k, Rotterdam stated on his twiter that MC alone has about 100k from western touneys, Puma has another 57k. Those two players alone made more from western scene than we did from theirs


he asked who to root for. i gave him names of good players. what are you talking about? your post seems a little xenophobic.

K, please provide the evidence of xenophobia, or are facts so threatening that they count as racism now?


xenophobic is not racism; its fear. your post implies that you fear if koreans are invited that they will keep taking all the prize money. although that may be a rational fear. ;-)

Maybe root for good player then? And not base it on race?



Oh cut the political correctness BS. Like I've already said, it's not a race issue. It's how a western tournament to find the best player becomes predictable and to a degree pointless when the only big question is which korean will take home the gold.

People love it when good Swedes dominate but if it's Koreans, oh no this tournament is so boring I wish foreigners would win. Koreans are attempting to integrate themselves into the international scene to become recognizable players you can root for through things like participation in MLG and whole teams going for qualifiers and TL Opens, but when a Korean wins these people grumble inexplicably.



I think this is because people in general want the underdog to win.

If you really care about the underdog that much, you realize in a korean vs korean match there are underdogs too? Root for that person.

I do when I don't have a favorite. If its Bitbybit v Boxer, I cheer for Boxer. If its two players I don't care about I root for the underdog because it makes for a better narrative.

Also, Obligatory Spoon.
