It does wonders for their nerves plus the fact that they have nothing to lose in this tournament. I'm pretty sure "nothing to lose" is a much bigger factor than GSL players worrying about their "superiors" or being unused to being in the spotlight. There's an enormously higher mental burden being placed on GOM players for losing, and just look at how many of them have turned into train wrecks; no one was playing this terrible a month ago. | ||

Both are heavily expected to win imo, but they do really well against the former group. Always have, still do. Big difference. Foreigners are scared of Koreans for one. | ||

I suppose they are afraid the kespa players will eventually become the top dogs, while when they play foreigners gom guys still feel like they are the better players anyway. | ||

An unscientific opinion of mine is also that foreign players have a habit of going to pieces under Korean cheese and early pressure, and you saw those tactics employed early on during the KeSPA switch, but naturally the new players adapted to these tactics very quickly. | ||
