His hatred for non-KeSPA Koreans, foreigners in general, you and some others in particular (ByuN, GuMiho) seems to burn fierce as ever amazingly enough. It's the passion of anti-fans like this that keep the game alive. | ||

Long live Nerchio! If you get back into form, you should try your luck in the GSL qualifiers season 2 or 3. Once you do it, you will become popular with all us Nerchio haters :-) | ||

Because you have no tech no barracks at home. All zerg has to do is to get a few roach ravager and you are out. To sum it up. if you do a proxy 4BB, you have to cripple your opponent with the first push. | ||

I didnt see the game, therefore cant comment on it, but historically alive has consistently been one of the best terrans, so it doesnt surprise he can make it look easy vs Scarlett. My point still stands though. | ||

Actually he had less iirc, but he had a better positioning and special focused the CC at some point. Anyway this cyclone meta is so stupid haha | ||

When he pulled back and went back in, and Special did the same, an a-move would cause some of them to hit the CC whilst uThermals cyclones fired on him. Looks like what happened to me. | ||

Is it a coincidence or the brackets were made this way? BTW, the 4 players that finished second among those 7 (Snute, Nerchio, TRUE, and Neeb) were playing other people that the 3 that finished first (Serral, Elazer Special). I guess there was seeding, and the seeding were based on the last year's performance. | ||

Serral and Neeb are the only 2 players who made top 8 every WCS event in 2017.Nerchio, Elazer, TRUE and MajOr are 3/4, missing out, respectively, Jonkoping, Austin, Jonkoping and Montreal.Snute had 2/4 top8s, in Valencia and Montreal, both times he eventually lost in the finals.ShoWTimE had only 1/4, reaching ro8 in Austin before falling into a long slump. | ||

Protoss can't go pure gateway or pure robo units, because pure gateway doesn't scale well, and pure robo is a huge investment, and is too immobile. So Protoss pretty much is a race built on the interplay between gateway and robo units. | ||

more proof that the foreigner gap is about the viability of the career and not about how hard people are able to work. no use fighting for a career that isn't going to pay the bills (i hope this isn't perceived as a ded gaem post, i still love sc2, just honest analysis) | ||

Much harder to break into the korean scene. There are some promising players like Prince or HHs but when you have to beat players who've had years of teamhouse practice just to qualify for an event you just can't break through. The only way to get to that level was getting recruited to a team and getting the teamhouse practice as well but that's not possible anymore. Foreigners stealing the remaining ro32 spots doesn't help. | ||

If you look at Reynor's results, he's won or placed in the money for a lot of go4sc2, Proxy Tempest, Ladder Heroes and other smaller events. Tournaments where you'll see the occasional established player, but where the players who are not quite there can try to build themselves up and get the opportunity to compete. There isn't much of that for Korea. | ||

Special is so good with his preparation and macro. If he can improve his control we might actually have a foreign Terran monster on the level of Neeb. He's getting there, but so far he hasn't surpassed even Liquid Bunny's results | ||

And then you try it yourself and you get steamrolled by a hive rushing zerg because successfully maintaining pressure like this for so long is actually really hard. It is nice that he is running units around and isn't simply dropping in 5 areas. Feels like it's more attainable to a normal player | ||
