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

Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#)

If Puma earns a spot to Code S can he uses it later when the EG house will be settled or does he need to use it in the next GSL ?

In Korea all foreigners have to earn their spot, but in mlg they get it handed to them.


No foreigner has ever earned their spot in the GSL since the Open seasons. All the foreigners in code A since then received byes past the qualifiers (which are much more difficult than MLG's open bracket btw). Huk earned his code S spot and that's it.

Also people who say "NANI AND THORZAIN ARE RAPING KOREA!" lets take a look at TLPD

Thorzain - 4 wins 5 losses.
Nani - 1 win 4 losses
Fenix - 2 wins 5 losses
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

ALMOST all of them turned out to be foreigner vs korean where the foreigner went into to it with the mindset 'This guy is better then me maybe I can cheese him out'.

I've barely seen any proper games.


90 times out of 100.

The Korean guy IS better than the foreigner. The dominance they've displayed now at three consecutive MLGs is starting to intimidate the players. I don't blame them at all.

That's mostly because there are so many top Koreans invited and so few EU players. With Mana, Dimaga, Tarson etc. this would look very different.


Somehow I highly doubt that.

If you saw how thoroughly thrashed Thorzain and Naniwa are getting in the GSL right now you'd understand that it isn't just the North American and Korean gap that's huge it's also the Korean/European gap as well.

Not saying it wouldn't be better than having some of the lower tier players in the pools replaced with some European pros, but I don't think it would make much difference in unseating the dominance the Koreans are displaying.


I guess you haven't been watching GSTL if you think Thorzain and Naniwa are getting "thoroughly thrashed"

They just got allkilled and the only match they won was vs MVP without using dongraegu...(their whole team basically)

They also narrowly lost 3-4 to someone, the team doesn't come to mind but it was recent.


TSL

Much appreciated, couldn't remember the name.

don't see nada taking a series from puma. puma got this.


Know this is going to sound stupid but why does everyone think puma's great?

not trying to insult him but other then him winning the NASL i honestly have never heard him mentioned in terms of tourneys.

IEM.


he's pretty overhyped and overrated to be honest. at IEM he just beat a bunch of foreigners and than had a rematch with MC again, who is losing to just about everyone at the moment.

watching him doesn't feel the same as watching immvp


Nada ain't that great either ( in SC2 ) had a poor showing that Assembly and hasn't looked all that amazing in GSL too.

Its more like 100 times out of 100. The very best foreigners in the world are not even Code A material imho and maybe not even Code B level either. Its just amazing how deeply talented and skilled the level of play in Korea is. Honestly the only way the gameplay will get better at MLG is to just invite more and more Koreans or all the foreigners go over to Korea and get insanely good.


You know there are numberous foreigners competing in Code A right?

And Huk is in the Ro8 of Code S?


You realize Huk and everyone thats in Code A is living in Korea right?

So what ? That doesn't make them korean.


Seriously people just stfu already about nationality. It has nothing to do with race. He plays and trains in Korea. Thats why hes so damn good. Huk himself says hes a Korean player so stop acting delusional.

I don't care they're still foreigner training in Korea.

Huk living in Korea makes him as much a Korean as Rain a foreigner or Puma for living in US for 2 weeks. Plenty of Europeans have team houses in not there home country. Demuslim is living in EG house iirc and that doenst change his nationality either.


being a foreigner in sc2 has nothing to do with nationality
Foreigner = Non-korean

4-5 in Korea isn't a bad win/loss, alot of korean Code A/S only have like 40-45% win/loss.
