Lowko interviewing the lead game designer for sc2.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Byun is the only player that stands a chance against Dark. Dark (and to some extent, Elazer) have shown that ZvP is insanely difficult when played right.

The point is that we didn't see foreigners get stomped universally. We saw Showtime advance first out of a group with Byun and Dear, we saw Elazer and Nerchio beat SSL champ Solar, Neeb has already proven that he can compete with the best and showed that again this tournament. On the whole this tournament showed that foreigners can compete against the best Koreans; they might not be able to win the whole thing but they can be competitive. And with a lucky draw, they could even win. If that's the progress in one year, then next year looks like things will be close to even -- especially if SC2 in Korea keeps crumbling.

So? There always were foreigners who could compete against top koreans based on matchup, etc.

Yes, but never on this scale.

Uh what? I think Stats has a better chance than Byun.

Yes, but never on this scale.

What scale are we talking about here exactly? Do we still have the same amount of top tier koreans?
I stay by what i have said, foreigners got better (the scene as a whole) but koreans also got worse (the scene as a whole)
Compared to 2014 that is
