Judging from the comments, it was more about the Koreans screwing up than the foreigners playing top-notch; is this true - or is it just foreigner hate? Are Idra and co. really playing well?

Babyknight played well vs Rain , there's some debate of questionable expansion/ move out decisions by rain but baby knight deserved the wins.
Idra played some really nice ZvZ, smart counter attacks and harass.
I only caught the tail end of Herojoin vs titan so i can;t comment on that.
Curious played off but not poor enough to consider his opponent winning a fluke. The final game of that series mostly came down to upgrade advantage and curious making some poor engagement choices.
As with all things there's truth to both sides. Right now foreign players are pulling off upsets with mostly good play and korean players are for the most part not showing code s level play for whatever reason. It's best not to engage to hyper defensive or aggressive fans on either side of the argument.
