I for sure never know what to expect from him when he is attending an event.

That's a good way to put it :-D

not sure if serious......

There are two parts of that sentence, man. No one can argue = It is impossible for anyone to claim that foreigners are better... Or I just suck at English.


Hmm, this is how I read it as well, but thinking about it I think "no one can argue that" is a phrase that's used to stress the exact opposite. I think.

Maybe it was a misuse of English on his part though.


Can't believe so many people think he's saying that foreigners are better than Koreans. Can't you guys read? It's totally obvious that he's saying that no one would ever say that.

Although to be fair, English is not my first language, and I don't dislike double negatives and in weird ways constructing my sentences. Which makes me sometimes not unbad at communicating.

Clearly we need Nerchio and VortiX at MLG.

Nerchio would never travel outside of Europe, so it would be left all to VortiX.

Even if Naniwa was there?


Naniwa´s performance in the past few tournaments he attended weren´t that good.(IEM, WCS Sweden, TSL4) Also, he said that he´s bad at ZvP right now because he didnt´t play a lot of Zergs in the past 2 GSL seasons. You can also argue that he lost to some european Zerg players(No offence, they are obviously good.) and at this MLG, there are quite some korean Zerg players like Losira, Violet, Leenock and also good foreign Zerg players like Stephano and Sheth. It would have been likely that he would have met good Zergs early in the bracket which means that he could have been knocked out early.

Haha. Idd, I don't think there's anyone else in SC2 that is as varied as him.

Edit: Also, has anyone noticed that Naniwa slumps everytime he comes back to Sweden?

Racist, right..


So what would you call people closing stream just because the last non Korean getting knocked out? Oh wait IDC what nonsense you come up with, too busy eating the tears!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!! :D :D :D


...oookay.

Well anyway I don't actually care that there are no foreigners left. But I can see why people do; it's just a fact that Koreans are often less interesting outside of gameplay. In terms of storyline it's better for a lot of people to have at least one 'foreigner hope'. Tournaments are about storylines for a lot of viewers, and if the underdog Korean-titan killing foreigner story that interests them most then who are you to call people 'racists'.

*ahem*

LOLOLOL TROLOLOLOL XDXDXDXD


They want a story? How about this.
Crank gets injury and has to leave slayers. He interacts with fans and tries hard to learn English for them. His call is heard and is personally sponsored by Total Bisuit to come to mlg. He fights his way from the bottom of the open bracket and takes down many high tier players. He makes it all the way to the final loser bracket in day2 gaining many fans who probably haven't even heard of him before. Now that he just got knocked out, I could maybe understand people closing the stream because his story has come to an end. But wait, he is Korean so nvm.


"Koreans are often less interesting"
"if the underdog Korean-titan killing foreigner story [is the one] that interests them most"

Reading comprehension is a good skill toi have. If I wanted to say "Koreans are boring and nothing they do is interesting" then I wouldn't have taken a paragraph to say it.
