Reread what he said. People should watch HSC4 before they say that EU players are just as good as top Koreans. So the top 3 being Korean reinforces his point. | ||

To be fair, Homestory Cup 4 didn't feature the best foreigners, while at the same time it didn't feature the very best Koreans. All we know is that the Koreans who were at HSC4 were better than the foreigners. Ultimately though, there is a skill gap. Just gotta remember that it's not as wide as it was in BW and occasionally a foreigner will pop up and show they can compete, like Sase did some hour ago when he beat oGsFin. Anyway, well played by Nerchio. He put up a good show. | ||

Nerchio isn't even Code A material man, same as every other foreigner. are you serious? Nerchio goes 4v5 vs. the current GSL champion and you say he's not even Code A? WTF? Can't believe how ... some people are... How do you know it was played on the EU server? They either played on NA or they changed between EU/KR. | ||

Besides that playing on KR or EU wouldn't make sense lag-wise there is one more thing. Both players were on a smurf account which indicates that neither one plays on that server regularly. If they played on KR (JJakji has an account there) or EU (same but Nerchio) that wouldn't happen. | ||

He'll be Code A-level once he competes in Code A and doesn't drop out the first round like nearly every other "Code A/S-level" foreigner. | ||

How do you know it was played on the EU server? They either played on NA or they changed between EU/KR. Its not just about individual players. All top 50-100 koreans can probably have at least a 30-40% chance of beating the best foreigner. Thats why foreigners who can takes games off the best korean players still struggle to get into code A or struggle in code A because the skill level is just that high. Only the very top korean players (MVP/MMA/Nestea) are consistent enough to stay in code S. The rest who are still dam good just fleet between code S and A eg. Losira/MC/Polt/Supernova | ||
