(Team-less here being outside Korean team-house, since foreigner teams don't really count )He still had easy access to high level practice partners and spent a lot of time in the KT house. When he won GSL his main practice partners for Terran were Fantasy and Flash and his main practice partner for Zerg was Solar.

I always thought HerO could do much better if in a strict training regiment while Taeja would probably do worse just looking at the Liquid guys alone But all of these guys were brought up in the Korean system, it's like riding a bike, you don't unlearn it | ||

It's because they are friends. Do you have a source for Rain telling he's practicing with KT players and Solar? I don't remind any interview about him telling this~ | ||

Motivational drives and practice habits differ from individuals. Hence Byun is evidence that one can even succeed without a Korean team-house (though it probably works for >50% players). Hence why I don't quite buy the arguments in the uThermal thread that Koreans have an insurmountable advantage due to the team-house infrastructure. Reminds me of the story about Bisu going to Thailand before the MSL finals versus Savior - was that really true? | ||

I don't remind any interview about him telling this~ IIRC after he beat Maru in his GSL winning run he said to Gyuri he was practicing for the match with Flash and Fantasy and that they had handled his builds much better (I think that's when it was, not sure). And the season afterwards, in the Ro16 group selection Stork told Rain to do Solar a favor and make the switch he wanted because Solar helped him win the GSL finals.

I think some guys need to get told to practice their asses off so they actually do something with themselves, and when they leave they get kinda lazy and fall off. And others need their freedom to do their best. And then there's PartinG. Who looked amazing on his Proleague team, then looked like his shackles came off after he joined a foreign team, and is now gone completely. Pretty much. | ||

Whenever you have a system that is adhered to by the successful it is automatically linked to the success until proven otherwise. Plus toughness often has a strong appeal to viewers storywise. | ||

Reminds me of the story about Bisu going to Thailand before the MSL finals versus Savior - was that really true? The advantage Koreans have is the know how that came from 2 decades of an organized professional approach to esports If you watch K1 kick boxing you'll notice almost all the champions either are Dutch or train(ed) in the Netherlands. This is because someone started a school decades ago, became successful, prompted other schools to be founded etc. It just has to happen somewhere and this one happened in Korea. It does help Korea has a bit of an overachievement culture as well but it's not necessary | ||
