soO had >75% WR in ZvZ in 2015. He played 3 non-Koreans during that period and even lost 1 of those series to a noname player.

It's actually even slightly better because the last series is in LotV.

This is a big build order advantage for Nerchio IMHO. Just need to scout carefuly and this game should be won.

That's true... They look like they're there because it's something they have to do, not because they want to be there.

agree. With some noteworthy exceptions they seem to have practiced with little motivation and to come here to gather the money.

I disagree. Foreignors have gotten a lot better

yeah after 18 years of korean domination suddenly foreigners magically caught up in skill.

what if... what if

WCS worked?

it did work, at taking away motivation from koreans

just watching GSL/SSL/Proleague this year, it didn't seem as good as normal, I really do think the koreans have gotten worse

1 year of consistent motivation and practice can make a huge difference in skill and you know it. Plus there is a constant change in the metagame.

Foreigners improved a bit and koreans got worse and worse since Kespa switch. What's the problem? :o

Yeah I think they should be looking more inspired when playing for a prize pool like this. It's not like they're all shitting the bed. Dark, ByuN, TY, Zest, Stats, they're all still playing really well.

WCS -> koreans lose opportunity to win foreigner money so practice less. Foreigners gain opportunity to win more money so practice more.

Skill gap moves closer together and meet.
