I think these games just show that the Korean training regimen is everything when it comes to producing the skill you see in Kespa and high-tier ESF. MMA and ForGG left their team houses for Western teams and look where they are now.


Actually I'm note sure. Most of occidentals who went in Korea didn't come back in Europe / NA better than they were before (ToD, Morrow, Stephano, Thorzain, Huk, Major, HappyZerg).

I think it is really in the head.


Yeah, look at Violet who went from mediocre player on MVP to becoming a BEAST after moving to US, training with CSN.


Violet is one of the few exceptions.

Look at Polt.
As much as it pains me, Polt doesn't have the same kind of dominance after he moved to the US.

Korean training regime is still the best.

Polt is a semi-pro right now. We shouldnt expect that much out of him.

He's still playing at a pretty high level regardless, Polt's a boss

Two questions:
1. Why there is no sound-proof cabins? How the organizers assure, that the players don't hear the audience?
2. Why the room for audience is so small? Is the popular interest really so low and it won't get filled up if it was bigger? I have my doubts. What city do they play in?

The audience is small because its in Cologne and this stuff is broadcaster almost every day of the week, you can't really expect people from far away to travel there just to watch the RO16. It's just the local fans cheering.

how far the mighty have fallen.


Both MMA and ForGG have at some point in SC2 history been regarded as almost unbeatable. I remember the splash ForGG made when he had just entered the scene and people were in awe over his micro and builds.


Tbh. ForGG´s invincibility was mostly hyped(OSL(or was it MSL?) champion switching over, looking good in his first few games), as soon as he got into code S, people saw, that he was indeed very mortal. AT the start of their GSL-careers, players like Sage/Hyun or Brown(!) were considered the next big thing, but in reality noone was as strong as the majority believed.

What?

No one is saying Strelok isn't good, nor are they taking away from his win vs MMA. But those who are saying "FUCK YEAH! EUROPE HOLDS!!! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" are rather foolish considering MMA wouldn't even make a top 25 list for Korean players these days... Hell, he wouldn't even make a top 50 list.


How would this mean Europe didn't hold?

Europe held son. America didn't. Get over it.

Europe is playing worse koreans and less koreans?


Because the Koreans knew that EU is way harder so they avoided it x)


This - I agree. That combined with the latency. And it's being proven on the field today, as even without latency the Koreans are either going to get sweeped or at least a black eye.

1. The headsets they are wearing are completely sound proof. They are actually just sound blockers. Booths would be to big and expensive I guess. They also hold 5on5 games in this studio.

2: They are playing in cologne, I don't know if you could fill a big studio there yet.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Koreans are not dropped at random in either of the servers. They look and decide what is the best option for them to get the title. So if there are less and worse koreans, it must be for a reason.

Really strange people are using this group for the foreigners vs. Koreans debate... These are nowhere near the top Koreans, but more importantly, it's very early days in HotS. You can still win easily with weird strategies that people don't understand in the slightest.

lol no matter whether foreigners lose or win against koreans, people will always need to whine.



"OMG FOREIGNERS ARE WHOOPING ON KOREANS IN WCS EU!! The gap is closing!!"


"Oh cool, who did they beat? Innovation? Flash?"


"Nope."


"Life? Roro? Soulkey?"


"Nope."

"Parting? Bomber? Yoda? Gumiho?"

"Nope."

"Dongraegu? Marineking? JJajki? Losira?"

"Nope."


"Then who?"


"MMA and forGG"


"..."

The best of euros have always been able to hang with the mid-tier koreans though...It was true in WoL, it holds true in HoTS.
The foreigners got their butts kicked in MLG because the MLG tournament was basically a tournament with purely the top-tier above-average tier koreans.

Also, what was funnier was calling Euros "Korean slayers" for basically beating two of shuttle/tails/finale and pro7ect (I still dont know who this is :s..)



MMA is not a mid tier korean.


MMA is mid-tiered now.
Don't kid your-self.

Top-tiers are the basically the current Code S players.



He is absolutely low tier atm. I wouldnt expect players like Keen/Bang and a bunch of random code A koreans to play worse than that. Its really cool to see MMA suffer like this though...
