My timing is good! Finals are about to start, and Naniwa won his match (from being down two games vs a Zerg no less!). I'll definitely watch these finals. Go Naniwa!



WCS points are set in stone now right? We know who is going to Blizzcon now?

although life never lost a grand finals .. naniwa is like the Mvp of europe ... you can never count him out .. he is always a championship contender no matter how long the time is

Mvp of Europe? There is no Mvp of europe, there is a strange protoss, that can not play good macro games in a game, that brought good macro games.


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.

Naniwa vs Jaedong dreamhack?

Which one, where JD overcommited on fake move-out?
Or the one where JD did not react to scouted DTs?

+ Show Spoiler +
it turned out that it wasnt so long after all, but it was good macro nonetheless

Exact game i meant. It was smart, but it was not good.

I found it good, but good is quite subjective tho

No.
English is mandatory in S.Korea education as far as I know.

Most of the asians can write simple to advanced English, it is only speaking and listening that we aren't good at.

I honestly don't mind koreans not speaking in English, giving a more accurate statement is more important for me

How many years are they required to take? Based on what I've seen over the years I'd be surprised if any of them had taken more than a couple. The level of English is generally very low.


It is not matter of years, its matter of culture. I learned English while reading books, watching TV and playing computer games.
Its because we don´t insist on everyone else knowing Swedish, since it is futile and retarded.

not sure sorry.
that being said, it is highly possible that the pros just don't go to the top ranked college as well.
I met a korean on a cable car ride (he just came back from military conscription) and can speak ok-ish english

Most children start to learn English somewhere during primary school. I am guessing the reason you see a kinda low English level from these pro-gamers are because either they didn't focus enough on school shit and played games instead, or they are just shy and insecure about their English to speak it. Normal students that I have met speak pretty well for a country who does not have English as its primary language.
