Like i said yesterday, these KR are just mid-tier now, but its awesome too see that at least Top Foreigner can go toe-to-toe with Mid tier KR players


If either TLO or Snute beats Taeja your point kind of goes out the window. Very exciting end to the tournament!!


Actually... no, since Taeja isnt top tier anymore, he is DAMN GOOD, but no top-tier



Well personally I think that there are 4 Kespa players which are unbeatable for any foreigner that would be: Flash, Innovation, Soulkey, sOs.

The rest is still doable for foreigners. So basically when someone says that the gap is not that big he is actually right.


I do agree that the Kespa 4 is godly. Such talent, domintance and experience.
That beeing said, margins and gap are a bit smaller in Sc2.

Also, there are a handful non-koreans that have a chance against koreans, even these top ones.
Atm I would say Stephano, Snute, TLO and Naniwa is up there. Also maybe Scarlett, Vortix & Lucifron and the top chinese. (you can probably mention couple more in the past, but atm they are not there)
The rest of foreign players however, mostly mess up, get owned and the skill difference gets revealed so clearly during the games. You can predict the result with nearly 100% outcome. Their play are not refined or mechanical wise good enough to keep up with koreans.

wow looks like hyun is not what he once was anymore


This is the best Hyun has played since HotS came out probably.


which isn't saying much unfortunately


isn't he the 15-0 fight club guy?

god some of you are ridiculous


if a korean loses it's always because they're terrible and out of shape. it's never because the foreigner is on fire or whatever. you know how it works


Even if foreigners are on fire, they can't beat top Koreans, why hasn't people catch that?


Sjow beat Life a week ago


Life, Ro16 for several seasons already, not top anymore.


:D :D :D

*edit* It's like getting to Ro16 a couple of seasons in a ron is a bad thing

So the whole foreigner-cannot-beat-a-top-korean is a self forfilling prophecy, because as soon as a korean loses to a foreigner he loses the 'top' qualification. That's one way to stay on top lol.

As being a tall guy myself, Its kindoff tiresome with the making fun of big people.. We are all people right, who cares? You dont think we have emotions just cause we are big or what?

You are also more likely to have more strength though, no? Maybe your body's strength is less concentrated than someone of similar strength who is shorter but on average, you're more likely to be stronger, meaning (I thought) that if you do make hand to hand contact when trying to push the other person's hands, you're more likely to push them forcefully enough to make them move.
I thought they were picking more tall people because they were more likely to beat Dimaga and thus win the prizes, trying to minimise the number of humiliated people (through favouring tall people -_-).
Such different perspectives!
