You're a bit late to the party. Stephano's games were maxing at about 82k.

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. | ||

They can't catch up to medivacs anymore and they seem to deal poorly with 2 bases pushes while their harass potential has been reduced because of the widow mines. I'm waiting to be proven wrong though, i would love for Mutas to be the cornerstone of zergs again. Well widow mines shouldn't hit air, everybody knows that :p I hope they nerf widow mine this way, and that medivac boost cost energy. Maybe we could see less one-sided games. | ||

I mean there is a reason korea has laws regarding gaming. Some countries are getting closer to obtain a gaming culture though, but it is still really sports heavy. | ||

I believe their is and should be a spectrum. I have people I love, like, neutral, dislike, and heavily dislike, etc. I am a big Flash fan and a big antiMKP fan and neutral with curious. | ||

My guess is that they're aware of this but there are just so much bigger things to focus on, production-wise that would affect viewer counts more. | ||

But all of it serves to create better dedicated practice, which is the key difference between Korean and foreign players. The very best players usually create their own specific schedules and habits which distinguishes them from their peers. Yes, and my point is that there is a reason that those who benefit from or are able to devote themselves to dedicated practice in the manner you describe are Korean. I mean, you can stop at "it's the practice", but I'm more interested in why Koreans are so able and willing to practice in such a way. Try as they might, foreigners are seemingly unable to recreate it in any way, be it by traveling to Korea or creating a domestic team house. There is more at work here than just practice. | ||
