yes, you're right. Another Korean Terran victory in dominating fashion will prove that all of us Terran players problems with Terran are stupid and Terran needs another nerf.
So what a foreign Terran hasnt won a major live event in the last 1.5 years, have you seen the GSL?
So Foreign Terrans just suck?
Mostly yes, at least when compared to koreans. Thorzain and Kas have shown promise though.
Foreign terrans seem to only be able to macro or pull of the effective aggressive builds. Korean terrans tend to do both. Kas and Thorzain sort of represent that. Kas can macro, but his aggression is non-existent and it's not like he's got particularly amazing micro. Whereas Thorzaine has really tight builds, and can all-in at any point really keeping you guessing but his macro isn't anything special either.

Yep, I'm sorry, but as unfounded as the "Protoss players are just bad" claims were when every Protoss on the planet was doing bad, I'll say it now: foreigner Terrans are just bad. Why? Because there happens to exist good Terrans, that's why.
So foreign Terran's essentially have to be the best players in the world just to win games? Sounds pretty dumb to me.
He is not saying that.
Look at select, he is good and is not winning everything.

That's called mind game. Kas could have changed his build but he didn't. So he lost to an 2 base timing.

Uh... Feast read his build and knew he was going bio.
Do you even know how competitive Starcraft is played? Or anything about it?
Why would you get an Observer when you KNOW you don't need it. Feast was adjusting his build to cut corners. That's what good players constantly do day in and day out.
He didn't scout anything past the bunker. He knew nothing.
Uh are you serious? The bunker is a tell that you're going for 1 rax command center into bio. It could be a bluff, going for some kind 1-1-1 on one or two bases, but he can scout that with a Stalker. Kas JUST DID the same exact build on the same map before the disconnect. Players tend to not change because they prepare a specific build for a specific map and matchup.

Agression is nonexistant? Have you watched him play TvZ?

Did you watch game 1?
yes, so? Kas totally deserved to lose that game, your comment is pointless since I never said that Kas did NOT play silly greedy game 1.. I even think I commented similarily towards Kas after that game.
There should not have been a regame, a true sportsman sees that hes way behind and should not be awarded a regame just cause his comp crashed... its not fair, not even close.
for all this shit talk towards idra, he actually is honourable. He conceded a game against TLO in MLG when he got DC'ed he said he didn't have much chance anyway and conceded. This was right after he got 2 rax'd all in'd for the second time from TLO.

He made educated guesses based upon seeing his style of play. Seriously, when have you ever seen Kas go for a cheese or cloaked banshees in TvP?

I know. But he didn't KNOW anything for sure. It was risky. And Kas does mix it up sometimes.

It isn't just the best Korean Terrans that win games. Korea has been very Terran dominated at Code B, Code A, and Code S levels for a long time now.
That's a blatant lie and I'm not gonna waste my time pulling all the stats here, but please stop lying.

They need to be the best players to win tournaments, yeah...>_>
Terran isn't underpowered, foreigners just generally tend to be too shitty to play the race properly at it's most base level.

Wtf so Fruitdealer and Nestea were winning and other zergs were losing does that mean every other zerg just sucked? Cause I'd like some explanations on the last 10 patches? Saying every foreign Terran sucks is just stupid, I can make an argument when Terrans were winning a ton that every player of every other race sucks? All the same Kas doesn't seem to have a good grasp on TvP. I mean his super fast 3 cc into no attack seemed to not open a lot of timings he should have had in game one after opening so greedly vs such an aggressive Feast opening that did nothing. He had +60 supply but it was bio with no tech (although if a toss is +60 supply chargelots no tech just saying...) so even though he had a pretty big lead in game 3, it was still loseable. His medivacs were so late and his ghosts even later so Feasts chargelot and fast archons is super super strong vs that.

He already cut corners in the disconnect game, did you watch it?
Arguably he cut different corners in the reconnect game by going earlier Forges, which means a faster Cannon if he needed. The only thing he abused was slower Charge because he knew Dropships wouldn't be out. It wasn't even a matter of detection.

Umm what? How is it a blatant lie. Like 4 of the Code A finals have been TvT. There was once 20 Terrans in Code S. It is NOT just a few good Terrans winning games.
