At the other side, we have some sick foreign protosses and zergs  Maybe Thorzain but he's not particularly consistent and seems to really struggle with Z. Jinro's stuck in the Code B wilderness and given the amount of stupidly good players there are still kicking around there I'm not sure if he'll be able to break back through. Demuslim is definitely not close. Foreign Terrans just don't stack up for whatever reason, our toss and zerg are much closer to their KR counterparts. I don't think thorzain can do it. He did pretty well in his time in korea but his record wasn't anything close to code S standard. I think he will be a code A player in korea if he stayed there.
the sad thing is, he's the perfect player to get to the finals. his preparation is un fucking real

MorroW looks scary tho, I didn't see the games between him and MaNa but 3-0ing him is not easy task, he should be a total monster after being in korea for several months :D
Well morrow says its impossible to beat sage in practice. So hes certainly very far back right now but practicing with guys like sage will only do him good.

Because he was not playing good at all.
But i'm talking about the longhaul. Those guys could actually become really good foreign terrans who can make a splash versus koreans. And i'm sure that there will show up some new players in 2012 who could surprise us all

I know a Terran is awesome when they make me root for them over their Zerg opponent.
MVP has done it, MMA has done it, and now Jjakji has done it. He was just so fucking on the ball with damn near everything. Really inspiring play.

Just remembered something neat related to this game; Jjakji all-killed FXO in the team league earlier this year.

Yeah I saw it live too, his interview after his nasl ro16 vs mana. He said Sage is impossible to beat (well, imo it's like Naniwa saying Lucky or check is better than Nestea, but that means something still)
He said Sage always 2 base time attack him and it's super hard to defend, so he was confident against that but Mana didn't dplay like that.

Sage has always been known for his godly PvZ, average PvT and out of this world terrible PvP though. Check and Lucky were just the people nani got to play, they're not known for anything.

Yea Checks entire ZvP for the last 8 months has been "Oops I got the wrong comp, guess Ill go counter attack."

whoaaaaaaaaa what? I thought Leenock had this for sure ._______.

Wow so Sage and Jjakji, both from NsHs, dismantled the two teams which formed modern day FXO.
That's something.
FXO is really quite a fascinating story. Woah, i had no idea Wolf's name was actually Wolf. Herp.
