i would bet my firstborn that Tastosis will cast the finals (if i had a child).

they'll probably still be casting Blizzcon finals in their 70s.

I love that the Alliance/Horde conflict in on indefinite hold pending the resolution of the current world ending threat. That might be an armistice as long as the one in the Korean War.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Inb4 "It's also foolish to judge their competitiveness on a couple of bo3s"

at this point i've been told not draw any conclusions from any starcraft game ever so idk anymore

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.

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

Still remember back when HoTS released and Innovation was crushing zergs left and right, hopefully Byun can show me that in the finals tonight.


That guy was insane and 10 times better than Byun is today.

No but basically the same skill level


No 10 times better. Flash in 2010 was on par with Innovation 2013 even though he had never played the game but he was so sick mechanically so he could just beat every Sc2 noob easily. The reason was that his salary was very high which made for effective practice.

No seriously, want me to point out how fucking terrible all of the zergs he beat in 2013 were? Want me to identify all of their gigantic errors. Something you or Stuchiu never have been capable of doing.

So? Neeb also lost as far as i can see. Elazer as well. The point is that there always were foreigners who could *sometimes* compete against top tier koreans based on matchup, etc


You are talking about a top 3 korean. I am talking about good koreans as in koreans ranked 5-25. Just look at Neeb's record throughout 2016 vs them. Look at Nerchio. Look at Marinelord in nationwars. Look at Showtime.

Look at all their results vs koreans.

Noone from 2013-2015 had that type of record.

Or... don't even look at the record. Just look at the matches. How onesided it even was when tier 1.5/2 koreans met top foreigners.

Then look at the korean names in Neeb's list and you will get why this is a bad comparison.
As i said, foreigners as a whole got better, koreans as a whole got rather worse all things considered. We already were at this point though so i don't see the point in discussing this again. I rather would watch the games.
