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

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? 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.
Okay, let's say that two players meet over the course of one year in five bo3, three bo7, and three bo5. I'd easily say that the guy who comes out as the overall winner in that period of time is the better player.
My bo21 example should've expressed that but I guess I should have made my point more clear. (Although I still think that one bo21+ series determines the better player, too)

Yes! I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying we need MORE koreans, not just a handful, on EU ladder. Blizzard should enable KR pros to move to EU instead of banning them and allowing only the ones that live at the place.

Neeb's played TRUE in 2 bo5 and 2 bo3 over the last year and won all of them. Also head to head is a shitty way of determining who the better player is.

Which is complete bullshit since one of the most impressive things to ever happen in the History of Starcraft (1 and 2 ) was Mvps last big GSL run

That's simply not true. You don't need these way better players dropped into your scene to improve it. A scene has to start somewhere and if there are enough players in that scene willing to compete and motivated to get better than the whole scene will get better in the long run.
Korea got to where it's at right now because some guys started it, not because some aliens dropped there training them.
You will always have better and worse players in a scene and as long as the worse players are motivated to catch up the whole scene will get better.
