There's always an exception to the rule. But I'm fairly sure you'll agree with me that in whatever foreign tournament TRUE decides to play, he'll be a favourite to win.


id argue nerchio neeb or one of the terrans over true

I'd rate TRUE higher than any foreign pro. I'm ready to bet 50 bucks that TRUE won't lose to any pro in a Bo21 series.


i mean bo21 is unlikely to happen so lets stay on bo5 - bo7s shall we :D

TRUE definetly has strong zvp and zvz but idk his zvt is shaky ever since he came to us

The idea behind the bo21 is that a single bo5 or a single bo7 does not indicate the better player. Only numerous games over a period of time determine that.


The idea behind the bo21 is that preparing for a series is cheating, and that your wins aren't as legitimate as doing a ladder macro build 21 times.

Nah, you're missing my point. Take the bo21 as a three times bo7. Is it more clear now?

Not really. He has a chance, but he isn't a top Korean.

No not later too, look at Harstem for instance


He did win a few tournaments, but still drops maps all over the place against weak opponents. I don't think his form is any better than before he went to Korea. There are some players that have improved like HuK or Scarlett, but many more who came out worse than before like Stephano or Thorzain.

sure
I Protoss winner, could it be?

But what I originally wanted to say is that I think that pretty much any Korean is going to win over foreigners and be the favourite in the current system. They are peak players. Very few highly skilled players cannot create a good environment for foreigners to improve .

That's also wrong. Koreans outside Korea are nothing more than people who chase the easier competition.


There is nothing wrong with collecting money when it is there with a sign "free money if you can get here".

Yes. And one peak player among one hundred weaker players will win most of the time, but the 100 other players will not be able to improve.

If there would be like 25 koreans on 100 foreigners, foreigners would improve in the long run.

It's still wrong. The notion that a longer series allows the better player to win implies that having a series (or a game) well prepared is not as impressive a skill as having a build that you can repeat consistently.

Come to think of it, which players other than Jinro, Huk and Naniwa actually became top players after going to Korea?

The obvious powerrank/prediction burn, sadly not by HuK, who then goes out in groups.
