What makes you think Supernova's opponents played their A game either?

The thing is people have built this entire imaginary flowchart of rationalizing of why the results happen and projecting what should have happened. I agree people go over the top with it after close games... but lets look at the results overall so fa in sc2. MLG only 1 foreigner has won since Koreans starting coming over(A foreigner who has been training in Korea forever nontheless..) IEM- dominated by Koreans GSL - No foreigners in Code S, Most have dropped out of Code A all together... Dreamhack - Don't remember most results, I think this has been the closest one to 50/50 Korean/Foreigner winning. NASL - both times Korean vs Korean Finals. Yes they are circumstances you can't count for which may lead to Koreans wins. But overall Koreans have been very dominant. Anyway back on topic... Go go Go RET! http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/DreamHack Koreans have won 3/5, one of the foreigner wins being Huk, the same as the only MLG foreign win. The last Dreamhack was Korean vs Korean, so it's slowly making it's way similar to the other tournies | ||

The Korean vs Foreigner thing, is just getting irritating as it's not even based on results or anything, but merely people cherrypicking games to suit whatever preconceptions they have. At least in the GSL or MLGs the results vaguely matter, in that it's the creme de la creme of both scenes facing off, but in other events it's really not that relevant. MMA winning IEM Kiev for example hardly validates the supremacy of the Korean scene, given he's a guy that beats even the best Korean players consistently. I wouldn't even use the previous MLG's (the future ones might be different), the European scene only ever sent a small handful of players to past MLG's. | ||

Until the games are completely one-sided and hopeless from start to finish like they were in BW, using the terms like "domination" and "outclassed" is offensive to players that have been one tiny decision or an ounce of luck away from taking the series (even the actual wins are discarded by following the rationale of 'well the other guy didn't play his best' or 'its not gsl so it doesn't mean anything'). I'm not saying to not respect the results nor that the better player didn't win, but if all the games and series are competitive, then a win is just a win - it's not "domination". | ||

And they also kinda "vacuum suck" your ears so it hurts on the inside of your ears as well for some people (like me). | ||

IEM is not as dominated by koreans as MLG since IEM Guangzhou finals was between two foreigners (Idra vs Elfi). | ||

Well it's almost always between different players, so you can't really claim consistent results except for a very few individual players who are/were dominant in Korea as well (MC and MMA). | ||
