Major looks like he's on a completely different level than the rest of these players. Today, at least.

It depends on who you ask. Some people would count Jinro as korean now. When mana was asked if Bling was a top 5 protoss in EU and they listed them, they were asked why they didnt include Sase and Naniwa and Mana said it's because he considers them Koreans since they train in Korea. (said this during HSC)

Well it is retarded cause it is completely arbitrary. All of a sudden anyone can be or not be a Korean.

How long do you need to train in Korea to be "korean", 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year?

If you go back to Europe, how long do you then remain Korean? Do stop being Korean once you landed, or do you keep being Korean for more or less then a month? Or are you forever Korean once you trained in Korea? Is it the same for Koreans? How long must the be outside of Korea to be foreigners? Can Select ever become Korean or is he forever foreigner?

There is no answer for these questions, therefor you cannot define it and therefor is this kind of logic flawed.

Exactly.

I really don't understand how this keeps coming up. It's really fucking simple:

IT'S THEIR CHOICE.

HuK (As an example) is a dual citizen of the States and Canada, he chooses to play under the Canadian flag and we love him for it. (Though we'd love him either way). If he wanted to play under a Korean flag because he trained there that would be fine! I mean, it'd be a bit strange, like Lance Armstrong Biking under a swiss flag because he trained in the Alps, but it would be acceptable. This is e-sports. It's a global game and where you're born, shouldn't be the deciding factor in who you play for.
