You say that, but during IEM a lot of people were complimenting KeSPA Korean Flash for his "beautiful play" of MC blinking on top of Marauders or rallying Colossi into the bioball or Snute blind all-inning into a fortified Flash and such.

Yeah but that's because he's Flash, people will commend him if he makes marines.

It would have to be a blind experiment. If people knew what we were looking for they would really try to see the differences in play and if you look hard enough anyone can figure it out isnt that the whole debate though? or is there supposed to be some difference between "looking hard" and watching a game "normally"? as long as you handpicked foreigner games that use builds and styles that are common in the korean meta i think it would be fine I would be against making foreigners play a korean style or cherrypicking games where they use korean shit. You need a healthy mix of games etc. as long as all the games fall under a generally accepted range of pro foreigner level of play im not sure how handpicking the data would harm the experiment. the point of handpicking would be to avoid "cheating" by knowing the korean meta and just playing the odds that it's a "foreign style" You can just play the odds by predicting the winner being Korean. That's why you don't do full games, but rather parts of games, like how the midgame evolves, the early game movements from 3min to 8 or so. Maybe even just one lategame engagement or something. I probably wouldnt be a participant in this experiment. I watch and play too much sc2. Do you think you can watch a random replay and guess the players? Korean or not. edit: Of course the players are noted progamers I predicted Naniwa would proxy 2 gate Jaedong 10 minutes before he proxy 2 gated Jaedong. I knew soO would beat Parting 3-1 with Parting only getting his 1 map win off of a Yeonsu Soul Train. I called 5/6 maps rights in the Classic vs soO finals. So probably? Yeah you probably could. There is so much subtleties and nuances, but I think it would be easy to differentiate a Korean and non-Korean at the moment. The general skill difference is still large.
its even more important to note that a majority of players have some weird tick or style. Like if you had seen 5 illusion games in your life, you'd know it's fucking illusion playing.

Major is the only foreign Terran who can consistently hit 200 EPM. I remember I looked at the replays from MLG a year ago-- foreigners hit 200 epm 2 times and Koreans hit it 43 times. Simply opening the EPM meter show you who the Korean is.. Or is that not allowed either? It's not like people are gonna watch Zest vs Bunny, then Zest vs Flash, and not notice huge differences between the Terrans. Of course it's not gonna be allowed. It's most likely going to be an edited youtube video with no casting and parts of games only. It would feature greater variety and less chance for a weighted result.
For any decent player, or any player that follows the scene and the games closely, I think it will be very easy to tell with Terran or Zerg. Korean T and Z play much differently-- far more harrass, float less money, don't just sit in the middle of the map while Zerg expands and spreads creep (like Bunny), and the korean Zergs micro their lings much better too.
However, I still think if you have a playlist of 5 winning games, with some Mana and some Rain, the majority of people will know which one is the Korean simply because the play is much cleaner.
