So it's fun because Koreans are far behind in the optimal use of Hosts?
Or maybe it's not the optimal use *gasp*
Considering how decisively Rogue just lost, I'd say it's not.
Yes, one game = proof.
Tell me one Korean who uses Swarm Hosts better than the EU Zergs.
My point is actually less that Korean Zergs are good at SH and more that Korean Protoss play better against it, they are more mobile, they're more active, they've got better timings which lessens the turtle-ness of the SH. It's a lot like BL/Infestor which was much the same thing. I think there is a reason why foreign Zergs still lose vs Korean Protoss no matter if they try to SH turtle or not.

you say that, and then you see herO lose 2 series vs Snute and win only 1, you see sOs get rekt and it not even being close, etc
