There was nothing wrong with anything he said though, if anything we need more confidence in players and more players that are willing to make statements like that.

You just can't change it. Some people just always want a full Korean bracket, even if it meant that the quality of games would be worse.
Edit: Anyway, you gained way more fans than haters in LotV and should just keep going. Great perfomance again!!!

Lol. People want brackets full of Koreans because Koreans are almost univerally better players that produce more exciting games. Unless you change the DNA of these players or give foreigners true drive/skill than it won't change anytime soon

I didn't say there was, but you can't trash talk players everyone love and then lose to them and expect to not get hate. Especially when you're known for being a generally salty player, haters will prioritize you

I think you can't do much better than IEM this tourney both in terms of format and korean/ foreigner ratio

Koreans also produce tons of shit games. There were a lot of fun games in WCS last year. Showtime vs Nerchio was a more enjoyable tournament finals than most of the ones we get in Korea.
It's unfortunate that the amount of tournaments for non-Koreans is so low this year (so far), their scene developed a lot in 2016.

No one wants that. People want open brackets so they can see the best 16 or 32 (or whatever) players in the world compete. and if some of them aren't korean thats a benefit. The region lock got backlash beacuse it was basically 32 players we know are not the best competing.

The importnant part in what you wrote here is ALMOST.
The sad thing is, some people just want foreigners to fail, regardless of skill.
Some people would've been happier with Patience and TRUE getting out of group C over Serral and Nerchio for example. Just for the reason that they are Korean.

Really not something that should have been difficult though. Even Dreamhack, the ultimate tournament organizing mess, managed to have a B-stream at every tournament.

a second english stream would be an improvement idd, one that doesn't stream the same match as the main ofc :p

So if some Korean games are boring are the boring foreigner games disregarded?
.
How is it that xenophobia is still alive. Foreigners deserve credit for their play and level atm but I don't see any issue concerning tournament organization.

Agreed. Having basically the best Koreans and the top foreigners competing in the same tourney is always the most fun. We don't get enough of it any more.

Who are you talking to exactly?
Nerchio himself said he would want more global events and I am also always in favour of global events.
The tournament format for this IEM was amazing, best in a looooong time!

Broadly speaking yeah, but they also get tons of venom on TL, reddit, etc.
It's cool to have foreign hopes, though I think they immediately cause the casters to overhype them.
