How come European Zs are much better at beating top korean protoss players than korean Zergs are? does it have something to do with difference in playstyle, that Korean P is not used to the way Europeans play ZvP?


I think that a lot of korean protoss have this idea in mind that if you play predictably, you'll lose. That's why they'll mix in a lot of all ins or weird builds. Now, they know their korean opponents so they have these builds prepared for their specific opponents. If they throw them in against foreigners too, their loss rate is a lot higher because foreign zergs will play super super safe most of the time.

This actually makes sense, Korean Zergs (with some exceptions) are much worse at defending all ins than europeans, perhaps because Koreans generally prefere Macro games while european ladder is full of all ins and cheese.

Korean Zergs just tend to cut more corners, plus Korean Tosses execute a wider variety of all-in builds, better. I mean MC has a seemingly innumerable amount of different allins he can pull out in PvZ

Also I thought the Korean server was the one known for a more cheesy/pressure-based style than the other services?

Yeah, but not really needed because 85% of europe understands english no problem.


That number is so exaggerated and wrong it's not even funny.

We study english from 2nd to 9th grade of elementary school. I could speak and read english fluently when i was 12.

from my experience of traveling the continent (ive been to almost every part of europe) France is the only country where most people dont understand english.

English is a lingua franca across Europe but mostly in Western and Northern Europe.[2] In the EU25, working knowledge of English as a foreign language is clearly leading at 38%, followed by German and French (at 14% each), Russian and Spanish (at 6% each), and Italian (3%).[3] Working knowledge of English is particularly high in Scandinavia (Denmark 90%, Sweden 89%) and the Netherlands (87%). In Eastern and Southern Europe, working knowledge of English is lower, around 20-29%. On average, 38% of citizens of the European Union (excluding the United Kingdom and Ireland) stated that they have sufficient knowledge of English to have a conversation.[4]

2 ^ Europeans and their Languages. "Special Eurobarometer 243" of the European Commission (2006)[1], p. 144
3 ^ including native speakers, the figures are: English 38%, German 14%, French 14%, Spanish 6%, Russian 6%, Italian 3%. Europeans and their Languages. "Special Eurobarometer 243" of the European Commission (2006)[2], p. 152
4 ^ Europeans and their Languages. "Special Eurobarometer 243" of the European Commission (2006)[3], p. 144

You should probably get out of western Europe a bit.


Dude, don't bring reason and evidence into this discussion. You just have to make uninformed statements. You are ruining the internet for everybody.

Moonglade is doing a good job casting. Making great calls and overall just being a great personality.


I would really love it if tournaments started hiring pros (who are not playing in the tournament) to cast. I really, really prefer insight and analysis to screaming and salivation.


I think in general the scene just needs more casters. Getting kind of tired of seeing the same 10 casters being flown everywhere like they're leagues above everyone else. You couldn't imagine a large football match achieving poor viewer numbers because of a lowkey caster.


Kinda risky for a tournament to take a caster that nobody knows. They go for the safe choice.

Yeah agreed, that's why I think my suggestion of more sort of 'caster search' or competitions being run by E-sports organisations/tournaments and the likes.

HAHAHA MVP is just fucking around with him right now. He is like "oh you beat me in game 2? face the wrath of god".


I don't think so, was quite close at first I think but after the all-in failed it was super smart decision for MVP to go mech, as the casters also said. If he would be fucking around also where's the manner mules etc.?

Of all the brackets for a foreigner to come out of, I did not expect bracket 2. Huge props to Targa and Grubby for both beating both Ace and Oz.
