The discussion, as it were, is a silly argument over semantics, which only occurs because people are not willing to look at what's really being discussed. What we learned from this tournament is - 1. "Korean" (ie dedicated, full-time) training is what makes the difference between Koreans and foreigners. 2. While "Foreigner" training is catching up - ie IdrA doing well due to the EG house - it still needs that strong foundation of mechanics that comes with Korean training, which is what IdrA obtained from his time in Korea. 3. The difference between Code S and "Code B" isn't as huge as people think - neither of the two highest Korean finishers in this tournament were in Code S or even in Code A when they came into the tournament. What we learned from the last few weeks is - 1. Without any "Korean" training, very talented foreigners are still able to do well (ie Stephano), but that talent can only carry you so far when people start "figuring you out." 2. European SC 2 isn't as far ahead of NA SC 2 as Europeans like to think - NA-trained players like Gatored performed better than EU-trained players like Strelok in IEM NY, and even in MLG none of the EU-trained players shone particularly brighter than NA ones. | ||

But because of the GSL partnership winning a MLG is more impressive than a IPL. Not saying that Stephanos win inn IPL wasn't EXTREMELY impressive! | ||

Honestly this was really tough, cause I believe that MC, STC and IdrA all deserve that code S spot, and are more than capable code S players. It just comes down to who played better and today that was MC. I could honestly see those 3 being interchangeable though, a few small decisions, determined the outcome today. | ||

Looks like the old Protoss President just passed his term and the new one just got elected! Congrats Huk, 2nd Protoss President!!! | ||

It's $200,000 this year, and they're giving $50k to the winner of the national championship. With that same proportion next year could have a $250,000 first place prize for nationals. That's insane. | ||

Huk makes far more then that from his EG sponsorship deal. MLG by spending the money in production value not prize pool gives the players exposure. Though IPL did a good job with both. | ||
