ToD, desRow, MajOr, etc are all in Korean GM, and probably lots more. Just from what I know personally, there are quite a few SEA players in high masters KR etc. I don't think it makes them better than "mid-tier foreigners", but combo that with their experience, I suppose so if it was on stage. | ||

The decision making and game knowledge isn't quite there, but there are never situations where drops are sitting behind mineral lines massacring scvs, Protoss kill drops instantly once hts hit the field, there's almost never any supply blocks. These guys just have insane awareness and reaction time - if they can get the decision making process down/some metagame knowledge then they'll be really really good. It's not amazing my any means, but the raw mechanics are just so smooth! Ya its the game sense that kind of transfers over I imagine. Basically they know what to do, just not the best way to go about doing it. | ||

If you noticed he cut marine / hellion to get cc not that much later and moved rax to banshee for stim, pretty sure it was planned to be that way. Skyhigh played pretty well the only real questionable decision making being to base trade with his marines as if sea had been ready with siege tank / repair it wouldn't have done as much damage but it still worked out pretty well. He never really missed a beat with his macro, red terrans build was a bit all over the place with really late upgrades for his bio, I think he went 1-1-1 because he saw skyhigh was going banshee as opposed to the more standard 1 rax fe into 3 rax and wasn't used to the transition back into bio. This isn't my opinion for a response (it was the commentators) Skyhigh apparently got 3 scvs with the banshees and the hellion run in was to weaken the marines so that the banshee could do the actual damage after scaring the marines away. But the way that the hellions ran in and the way that the marines were split made it so that the marines wouldn't get the most optimal splash damage from the hellions so the banshee was repelled. This let Sea get that timing off where he would siege from the lower ground and elevator up. I feel like instead Skyhigh made a pretty solid decision to counter attack with a group of marines. Of course in the in game situation, I think it took REAL balls to do it especially since his tech structures were so far into the ledge and Sea's tanks and marines were next to eh production building, but we saw that Skyhigh spread the SCVs and moved in with his produced marines and tanks to hold that off while having another small group of marines hit the lower siege tank. And I'm a little confused since skyhigh went the 1-1-1 (your end sentence). | ||

I agree, even though they aren't top, top foreigners doesn't mean they're mid tier. | ||

Skyhigh played pretty well the only real questionable decision making being to base trade with his marines as if sea had been ready with siege tank / repair it wouldn't have done as much damage but it still worked out pretty well because he cut off reinforcements and lifted his production(after combat shield finished) and thus was able to overwhelm the red terrans forces at his main. He never really missed a beat with his macro, red terrans build was a bit all over the place with really late upgrades for his bio, I think he went 1-1-1 because he saw skyhigh was going banshee as opposed to the more standard 1 rax fe into 3 rax and wasn't used to the transition back into bio. Basically skyhigh other than one questionable decision played well but since his opponent played badly it is hard to determine how good he really is beyond what I already mentioned of having good macro / decision making(for the most part). Precisely what happened, if anyone 1-1-1 ed it was Sea, he also had bad macro, his overall play was quite bad tbh, high master korean terrans would've murdered him 100%. | ||

I personally think Top tier is made of people like Stephano, Naniwa, Thorzain, HuK (on and off, he seems to like going back and forth), Sen and a few others who seem to hit that level and then go back down. For one, Incontrol (sorry Incontrol! You're still awesome!) would not be mid-tier, what's he won or done for that? | ||
