Will koreans ever bother learning english like MC?

Will foreigners ever both learning Korean because the top players are all Korean? No probably not. Hard to practice SC2 10 hours a day and learn a new language which is not similar to your native tongue at all.

If you are going to travel to other countries you should at least learn to communicate with others. But hey that just my opinion man.


Yeah, if you live in another country yes. If you travel there for 3-4 days a year no, lol, why on earth would you do that when you don't even go there a lot?

Must be a massive bother having to bring a translator everywhere though, just for simple stuff like ordering food. There are really no disadvantages to learning several languages

You say it like learning another language is easy for most people.

He does have a point though. Language education is pretty shitty and embarrassing in the US. Most people only know English as opposed to EU where it is not uncommon to be Trilingual.

I doubt it's easy in general... but definitely worth the effort.

You need to just GTFO.

The best Koreans are the ones that bother learning, or at least attempting, English. How do you think StarDust got so many fans in one weekend?

Your Protoss whine in this thread is reaching obnoxious levels.

Counter example of good long macro game that involved naniwa. Or at least hilarious one.

Well easy is probably not the word I would use, but everyone can do it. You know in Europe learning other languages isn't optional. Okay for the french maybe it is, but not for everyone else.

Ehm, a ton of Koreans are quite obviously learning more and more english the more tournaments they go to. Just look at Life who is tweeting in (bad) english now, or Stardust, or Leenock's improvements.

Didn't you know that Protoss is massively overpowered and the only reason that Protoss players don't stomp every tournament is because they're not as good/innovative/capable as Zerg and Terran players..?

Truer words never spoken of course.

I'd put Flash up ahead of Life, but maybe not for much longer.

So I have to learn Chinese before I take a vacation to China? TT

If you do public performances in front of tens thousands of Chinese people who do not speak English every time you go there, you vacate there 5-6 times a year and your professional career is closely tied to how Chinese people perceive your performances; then I wouldn't consider it a bad idea to learn some basic Chinese, especially if you already had the very basics from school (though I wouldn't blame you for not learning it either).

Interesting fact, the Chinese don't let whitey speak Chinese on TV their unless it is superb. Almost every non Chinese person featured in media, even if they could speak chinese will be dubbed.

HA there was a Meta episode actually where Snute/Artosis/TLO implied the same thing.
EDIT: actually, what they said was Protoss can beat better players but can also lose to worse players
