Foreign fan = ignore IPL5 which was a roflstomp of epic proportions + every other tournament recently that had maybe 1 foreigner perform decently
Foreigners do well in 1 tournament = see, foreigners are catching up! skill gap doesnt exist! next zerg bonjwa!

Snute should all-in now for that easy win.

There is no excuse for Symbol's performance. He is playing very poorly. Snute is playing extremely well. Hence the 3-0. But only an observer who is unfamiliar with Symbol would believe that this is a standard performance from him.

I wish it was a non-zerg foreigner winning. Then I could be happy...

I don't want anyone to take anything away from Snute, he is playing great and his hard work is paying off but people shouldn't extrapolate so much from one player in a single tournament

I always get supply blocked at 44 supply as well. Now I feel slightly less terrible.

That Zerg run-by that killed no drones cost symbol that game in the long run.

This tournament is going to be such a symbolic victory for Snute and the foreigner scene.

Foreigners want to see a foreign hero, so any success counts as, "Foreigners=Koreans". Oh please, the four Koreans are not even Code S quality recently. If Snute managed to do this in a tournament filled with Koreans, maybe that would be a better call, but not yet.

This isn't creo-status, his run in WC3 was legendary at times he just straight dominated people with like no practice at times. 4k.creo!
