The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained. | ||

I bolded the key words for you. Foreigners don't practice as much as Koreans. Even the ones that practice a lot only do so for 8 hours a day or so. Koreans practice 12 hours a day. | ||

Yes but it's not equal practice. Having more players playing full time and those that do play more hours. Koreans in SC2 are exactly like Chinese in table tennis. | ||

Well there you have it. But the RIGHT practice is more important, dedication and actually honor is vital parts as well. | ||

It's not so much the amount of practice as much as what you're practicing + what you're learning. For example by all accounts Dan Henderson was a workhorse (Olympic Greco-Roman wrestler, PRIDE Middleweight Champion, probably a hall of famer in any MMA conversation) and that didn't stop him from getting starched and choked out by Anderson Silva, who trained with fucking Steven Segal. | ||

No shame, though - Korean Terrans are Korean Terrans, especially so when they've got better medivacs. It's actually not possible to keep up with medivacs so yeah. | ||

They don't practice equally though. Also Koreans don't have to stream as much as foreigners do because of the infrastructure already in place with the team houses in Korea. So it has a lot to do with the infrastructure allowing them to practice like crazy without worrying about exposure and the willingness to do so. | ||

Same goes for infrastructure and mentality - the Koreans (usually) have it all, and talent, whereas foreigners only have some of those. How many foreign terrans have wrist problems? How many Koreans have wrist problems? I think that says it all. | ||

I'm pretty sure a nationalist would root for players of his own nationality. I personally just root for the best players, and those just happen to be almost exclusively Koreans. | ||

If you're bothered, report the post and mods will see if it's worth a ban/warn. That's mod's work, not yours. You're right, LR is the place to make rape jokes, not complain about them, silly! | ||
