Nothing's going to reverse the trend till the gaming culture and infrastructure of the West matches that of Korea's.

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

I'm really looking forward to Season 2 of WCS. The dust has now settled and people and players know what to expect. With the foreigners getting more exposure to playing against Korean players, their play should also improve for a bit more even contest. But for now, I can’t see a foreigner winning WCS.

Go StarTale.Life!!!

Such a disappointment.

Sadly, unlike Mvp and to some extent MC, NesTea does not seem to have the ability to pull off runs out of his ass and remind everyone to not doubt.

Can we see the games somewhere, a rebroadcast maybe? I spent the whole night watching the semi's so when they announced that the finals will be 2 hours after MVP vs Innovation I went to bed.

I have no idea about how it was with bw, but from what I've heard it's gotten way better with sc2? As in we don't have to throw a party every time a foreigner takes a game off a korean.

Great semis, don't think I'll bother watching the finals now that I see the result. Kind of an expected result too

Ahh, MVP got so close to actually beating bogus.. Would have been so sweet. At least he made a good showing so that was really nice to see.

Maybe not in WCS America or WCS EU, but in old GSL's (old? Like three years ago. Wow has SC2 really been out this long???) Naniwa and other foreigners who could advance were the white man's King of Kings in starcraft. In BW there was a similar trend. Foreigners like Grrr (eSports hall of famer) and Idra had success with Koreans but eventually the Korean dominance takes over. More to the point, when Thorzain won a game in Proleague we did indeed throw a party.

I have the feeling that after the RO8 of this last GSL/WCS and then the WCS finals (who were basically a walkover for the winner of the korean event, except Symbol who had a very tough group), people have automatically treated every other korean player as being inferior although we didn't see any of them play in individual league for so long now because of how few tournaments there are. At the same time, this is still the beginning of HOTS and the game is changing a lot, there could be some serious new contenders now. Even Life has been qualified as in bad shape because he lost two series to Innovation and Parting.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't think that the level of skill of the winners of the korean event is obviously a thousand times better than the other, we hype them as being so good for being twice in a row in the RO4 but we didn't bring any new player to prevent them aside from Mvp. I am very excited for the OSL to see if the same players are going to shine or if we are going to have some new very good talent.

The grand finals were really entertaining despite the one-sidedness
