Please have some respect for the players, teams, and tournament. Criticism is fine, criticism without anything to back it up isn't so cool. Thanks! | ||

Naniwa have done impossible upsets and came close to taking out the most fearsome Koreans. Grubby just.....iono  although he did take out Violet so that was good for him! Well there is a years worth of sc2 between them, but i do admit, grubby had a poor showing at MLG | ||

This means you're more likely to find 9 other people willing to live in a small cramped apartment who can all play SC for 8+ hours a day in a team house. Forming a team house in the US isn't impossible but I would argue it's harder. As to why brood war has become a successful "sport" in korea you'd have to answer that for me because I wasn't watching the BW scene at that time, I was busy being a dumb teenager. I would have to do more research but I would believe the level of play generally improved as people were able to spend more time playing. EG has a teamhouse, but one could argue the results produced have been fairly underwhelming so far. | ||

It isn't Grubby's fault, the guys he got paired against are just A LOT better. It's honestly a shame, Grubby is good enough to have made a good showing in any of the other groups at least won one match but he got trapped in the Group of S. | ||

Even most of the top NA players are canadian which has a more generous social program. You either have to be insanely talented enough that 3-4 hours a day of practice is enough to be good enough to profit or you have to have someone willing to fund your ability to practice 8-10 horus a day like koreans do. I'm in the US and I'm in university and work 2 jobs and I'm not saying if I could play 10 hours a day I'd be a top progamer but i'd certainly be a lot better. I'm Canadian and believe it or not, the situation of our university students isn't much different. I still can't believe your welfare comment. Do you think we're a fucking socialist state like some rabid right wing nutters? Make your point without introducing off the cuff speculations based on ideology and fantasy. | ||

Sometimes I think it's just a way to vent and piss off players of other races by posting provocative, baseless and senseless things and counting on their reaction to tilt them irl or something. And to think, that poll "which league are you in" showed that the most of TL posters are in the master league.. . translation: i'm so smart and you're all dumb. Woohoo SelecT! I want to see him go farther!!! | ||
