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? 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) Neeb's played TRUE in 2 bo5 and 2 bo3 over the last year and won all of them.
Then my point about TRUE being able to beat any foreigner in the long run just got proven wrong.

I've certainly been called out before for what I post on LR threads.

The real problem for the foreign scene is that they don't have a weekly league to play in and to practice for constantly.
That's the main issue here.
