Maybe he like weekend tournaments? Or that he gets nervous at GSL? HerO also had really good results in foreign events last year when he was doing poorly in GSL.

No, there's one of you every LR thread when this occurs.
"Stop being good Koreans "
"I can only root for people with white skin"
"I like to be condescending towards fans who root for players they relate to"
"I can't relate to anyone who isn't the same skin color as me HEIL"
Please, point out a sport for me where the majority wants to see "better play" instead of "their guys" winning.
Do you know how insanely popular Ronaldo and Messi are in football?
In the same regard that players like Flash are insanely popular in starcraft.
Most ignorant thought ever...
Ronaldo and Messi make double digit millions per year with everyone outside of US recognizing their talent and greatness.
They are Tom Brady and Michael Jordan of their era. Not even comparable to Flash.
With no doubt, most Koreans would recognize Ronaldo and Messi's name over Flash.
All those crying about Korean domination: Who is John Galt?
The fuck? It's a relative comparison. Players like Flash and Boxer are about as popular to starcraft fans as Ronaldo and Messi are to football fans. Get over yourself.
I dont understand tvp at this level.. Taeja has 1 bunker, and when I do this on ladder, I die to 2base 4gate.. Taeja also moves, but what when rain went for agression?

TL has a legion of people ready to prove how their vision of the world is the correct one through overtly hiperbolic posting (moreso when esports are involved).

Do you know how insanely Real Madrid fans hate Messi and Barcelona fans hate Ronaldo?
And so what? Both the teams and the players are popular everywhere in the entire world, not just in Spain and their fans still hate each other, doesn't matter where they come from.
People want "their guys" to win was my point... if it was only about skill, fans from both sides would be happy to see the other team winning, but they're not.
For another example, I'm a Manchester United fan and I want City to lose every game even though they're an amazing footballing side. I don't want to see the "better players" win... I want to see "my players" win and our rivals do badly. In fact, I want every other game to end with the "worse players" winning because that makes it easier for "my players" to do well.
To be honest, while i normally don't give a crap how people have fun and enjoy their hobbies, seriously you only enjoy your team winning, not the game itself or how it plays. That doesn't make everyone to enjoy it your way, many people who follow e-sports do because they love the game, not because they were culturally programmed to like some sport like happens with football, and other sports.
