I would call it 2nd world country (if there is suc a word) South Korea is a first world country. I'm not sure of your level of education, but I major'ed in Economics and Political Science and looking at any world index South Korea and Japan are both considered first world. Nice try tho. Well the guy is Korean. :p So am I. Makes no difference when talking about an outdated method of classification from the Cold War era. But by definition, S. Korea is a first world country.
Just as a further clarification for people, first world countries are the ones based on a democracy and aligned with the US, second world countries are based on communism and aligned with the Soviet Union (notice I didn't say Russia), and third world countries were the "other" countries.
I don't think very many people would agree that South Korea is a second world country.

I think it is just an economy thing, not much of a political thing. China was a third world country, at least they never called their own nation 2nd world country.

Usually people refer to third world countries as developing countries and it is viewed as the same by most. It is confusing because for economy there is are three diffrent terms as well (developing, newly industrialized and developed - I got these translations from wikipedia, I have no idea if they are used in normal english, in german it is "Entwicklungsland", "Schwellenland" and "Industrienation").
Bur more importantly, how is any of that relevant to a LR. 
To stay on topic, I am really looking forward to TaeJa vs Leenock, both are looking really strong recently. I think there is a high probability that the eventual winner of that match will take the championship.

As Avalain mentioned, it's a very political term. It was used during the Cold War to differentiate the successes of capitalist economies aligned with the American ideology. While, second world countries were classified as those in the Soviet Bloc and to show their second rate lifestyle in Communist ideology. But to be honest, these days people think it's all economic, therefore making the original definition antiquated. I just wanted to say that S. Korea is definitely a first world country.

Wow, how wa leenock able to actually land neural parasites so consistently? Pretty much every protoss unit can kill an infestor before the tentacle reaches because of the short range and slow animation. in TSL, life would lose 14-15 infestors in order to get a "successful" neural on creator's mothership, in which case the vortex isn't even necessary because zerg has no infestors. In g3 of HerO's match, HerO's got caught on the middle high ground of Antiga when trying to poke in for Vortex. In g2 of Squirtle's match, Squirtle's got caught because it was trailing the army slightly when going down one of the ramps of Cloud Kingdom. Gotta keep your whole army under that thing. Just like zerg with broodlords (same speed as mothership!). If the broodlords are unsupported for an instant they die to marines or 3 vikings.
Launch SC2, Make a Mothership, Find out about the Vortex range.
Idea. Dismissed.

Yey Hero! Great job! \o/
Also, Leenock seems to be pretty decent at zvp.

These are the ones I wanted to advance!!! awesome!

I like how it says "HerO cannot be stopped;" under the Liquid Team News, despite Leenock being the REAL unstoppable one. ;-D
Anyhow, good job to HerO and Leenock, though I'm sad Squirtle couldn't make it through, at least Heart didn't make it to the Ro8!

Ah.
Some results are just SO satisfying.

I want a video that combines footage of Browder saying he'd "never heard" of a mothership being neural parasited competitively and the HerO v. Leenock games.

WHAT squirtle is out? What? I cannot believe this. I mean he lost to Leenock, ok i did see that coming (i am not allowed to whine about balance so i don't do it) but losing in a PvP against HerO? Never ever would i have thought this. This is a really sad day. Finally wanted Squirtle to win this GSL he deserves it so badly, and now he's in Code A again
