EPTseriously though, two of the most consistent code S protoss players in Hongun & Genius clearly realize long games are not favorable, which is why I think they are pretty smart to continually just stick with 1 basing against terrans.

Funtime is over, start behaving in here. You all know the rules and this isn't the place for some kind of comments or discussion. Keep it to the games and keep balance, the casters and meta discussions out of here. Pretty please, with minerals on top. | ||

How would you feel if you got knocked out of Code A by someone who got an easier way into Code A? to be fair to Alicia, he could also attend MLG's and get a seeded invite, but we all know how well that turned out last time... | ||

I laughed at those who claimed Foreigners can not and would not win any games in GSL code A, even though [blah blah go read my post again]. There's like a total of 10 foreigners that you could put up there and say "yeah, he might be able to beat a Korean" (Sjow, Select, Huk, Jinro, Naniwa, etc etc) Whereas you pretty much have every Korean in the GSL that would be heavily favored against all the other foreigners. It's not a stretch. Wins here and there are great, but Foreigners haven't been top 6 in the last 2 MLGs. Its so hard not to.  | ||

Huk is a foreigner who is Korean-trained. Like Select is foreign-trained. Can't have it both ways. If you refer to Huk as a foreigner, you refer to Select as a Korean. Also, he is training in a korean pro house now with other korean players as a part of the korean scene. So you really have no argument. | ||

his name is Ryoo Kyung Hyun. can't get any more Korean than Select. just because he is "claimed" as a foreigner doesnt mean he is a non-korean. | ||
