Yes they do, but Koreans play to end the game not for it to last as long as possible.


Neither does Snute. He has a clear plan and aims towards that. He's not just randomly massing SH and hoping for the best.


Foreigners are pretty smart strategically, especially foreign Zergs, but most foreign success has come from strategies that aren't that mechanically demanding like Infestor/BL and Swarm Hosts, so there's still a pretty big mechanics gap between foreigners and Koreans.

I don't like to generalize "koreans" like that. Snute mechanics are pretty good altough inferior to the very best like soO, Soulkey and a couple others. But his mechanics are as good as many koreans out there :/
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

Koreans win with their hands, foreigners win with their brains. If that's not a great reason to support more foreign representation, I don't know what is.


You don't really like Starcraft, or know what makes it great/special, if you think like that.

Circumstance confirmed fake Starcraft fan.

Now we might see the SH play people hate, Snute was ahead in the last two games but now he will have to make it work from behind.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
