Same goes for infrastructure and mentality - the Koreans ( usually) have it all, and talent, whereas foreigners only have some of those.
Yeah sure, but I mean, in the Netherlands we have a gold medalist at snowboarding. There are no mountains in our country. That is not good practice environment but with enough dedication anything is/should be possible. But not with SC2 it seems

Fun fact: the only Terran to lose thus far is MKP who lost to another Terran, jjakji. Fun fact, all terrans that have played so far are koreans. All koreans that have played so far have won except those losing to another korean.
Fun fact, Goswser is actually Gosu User combined!

I'll be respectful about Stephano loses when Stephano fanboys are respectful about them....

I have a feeling a protoss will win it all even though terran is dominating.

Ehh, I'm not so sure it's so simple. There is most certainly a cultural element at work in Korean dominance; 'tis not only how they practice but why they practice.

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. Bad analogy, anderson silva fights with massive advantages in MMA, the dude is has super long limbs and is super tall for his weight class (he is taller than most LHW's, he is taller than the greatest HW of all time).
Who's the greatest HW of all time?

The sad thing about speed-medivacs is that while they allow T to harass to their hearts content, they also force their opponent to stay defensive. They make for a turtlier game. Not really, but the zerg/protoss needs to take air control with muta/phoenix. Else, he'll be dropped like a madman. Maybe but mutas are lame late game . The Terran is just going to sit, max on 3-3 or 2-2 and crush the Zerg . Viper/ultras seems to be better and with lings/infestors and static defense you can deal with drops .
Muta midgame, overlord speed, vipers + infestors lategame. Ultralisk so that you can fight the terran head to head. I think it's the way yeah.

I would love to see another Choi Terran Ro4 match between Bomber and Polt as a rematch of IPL5.

Don't be a drama queen martyr. TeamLiquid isn't colonial America or Tienanmen Square. You do not need to preemptively declare "I'm going to be banned for this..." or "ban me, I don't care." Our Moderators ban for good reasons. If they read someone acting like a martyr, they'll simply treat it as a request to be banned.
A tournament like this really shows how unforgiving single elimination is, especially towards foreigners. Poor Stephano! Hope Ret doesn't go down the same path..

But the RIGHT practice is more important, dedication and actually honor is vital parts as well. I would really like you to elaborate on the honor part, because I can't wrap my head around that one.
I can't remember what interview or documentary it was but the koreans spoke about their honor and respect for their country and family to succeed.
Thus pushing them to win.

Apparently people love rooting against the already downtrodden foreigners. Kinda weird no?
