i hate hearing all these foreigners "not playing their best" against koreans. can we just up and admit that even at their best, the vast majority of foreigners are not up to korean standards?
What are you talking about? These guys live in SK and we see them play Koreans all the time online. It's just when it comes down to the GSL they don't play as well as we're used to seeing them.
conversely, i can say the koreans dont play their best on ladder but do bring it on when it matters (gsl).

If they are like me it's because they have a small nasal cavity and its very difficult to breathe only through their nose so their breathe through their mouth most of the time. Yes I'm a mouth breather. Same reason some people end up chewing with their mouth open. Big nose people just don't understand ;((

Incorrect. He went undefeated through the Open Bracket, went 4-1 in his pool, and then lost to Boxer 1-2. He didn't even play TheSTC.
Sorry, but I hope you are not trolling. In the open Bracket Finals he got knocked out by the STC 2-0 into the LB.
Dont forget, that Stepahno lost to Goody in the Weekend -.- :S
Funnily enough the tone makes me feel like he isnt, which is pretty funny.
I remember first TV game chokes and finals chokes; not usually qualifier chokes? Note that I said 'most nerve issues'. Perhaps the poster before me is correct in saying that sase isn't comfortable in this environment.
This whole thread tonight is an exercise in hypocrisy. TL admins participating in extensive debate about who was a better BW player out of forGG/MVP when MVP isn't even playing, all while the next game is going on in a LR thread. Irrelevant discussion like that is usually hammered down with impunity. I'll pretend that the comment about Sase isn't the typical BW elitist attitude for the minute, but do note the success of foreign W3 players vs foreign SC2 players.
Eh? I'd say the same thing if people said idra was eliminated because of nerves. I think you have a bone to pick with me/TL for some reason you've been harping on about it all night!
Please address my first point if you want to have a leg to stand on.
I dont see people being hammered down for it. Care to link me to some bans/warnings?
Irrelevant discussion - usually balance related - results in banning holocausts usually.
Nothing in the discussion had anything to do with balance whatsoever. O_o
Hence why I used the word "usually"........
If there was an issue about the topic of discussion, aside from balance, there would have been a thread warning before any bans. We're not super ban happy people like you think we are.
I was under the impression that the ban hammer rampages were specifically to stamp out endless balance whine and caster bashing, not ANY tangent.
I was under the impression progamers (of all games) had most of their nerve issues solved if they were famous enough to be known?
Not even close the truth!
Counterexample?
you watched BW, do I really have to?

It's a side discussion related to a player. It's not balance whining, it's not caster bashing. It's an intelligent discussion of the background of one of the players who we saw tonight. This isn't hypocrisy at all. This LR thread is reasonable and fun without completely derailing from the games. What's your problem?
Irrelevant debate is irrelevant debate. Doesn't matter which irrelevant thing it addresses.

How can anyone be so incorrect yet so confident ....
uhh...youre incorrect yet confident. He lost to thestc in the open bracket, then lost to boxer after making it through to the championship bracket and beating a lot of people
(we're talking about stephano in case thats not who you thought)
Uh actually the "How can anyone be so incorrect yet so confident ...." was my response to someone's else quote. I think i accidentally deleted the quote button ol..

Your last 10 posts have been pretty irrelevant to this LR thread.
