I'm reading all that and kind of I still don't understand community. What kind of future do we have then? Within in the next 2 years we will lose the (amost) entire Korean scene. herO (25), Stats (26), INnoVation (25), soO (25), Zest (26), Classic (26), ByuN (25), Ryung (27), GuMiho (25) and TRUE (26). They will go to the army. And you argue so smooth and easy about the gap?
And people are still discussing or defending "Region-lock"? Damn, honestly, I don't understand the standards of sc2. If anyone can explain me something, please, I'll be happy to read it.

man this makes me so sad, we're losing korean players way faster than we're getting new ones, when was the last new korean to make GSL ro16? ro8?

and yea I agree with the general discussion going on that the korean scene doesn't have much time/money left, the GSL might cease to exist in a few years (we already lost Proleague, SSL, OSL, GSTL, Code A...), but all the casters/community members are too foreigner biased to talk about it

if there was only 1 tournament that foreigners could play in, and there was only 1 foreign team, and 0 new players for years, everyone would be constantly talking about it and trying to fix it

korea's not quite dead yet though, and Serral is definitely sick good

It still sounds weird to me when I'm reading "...foreigner and korean..." (an alien and a human). Primitive model from the lessons of history. In my opinion, people have deceived themselves into thinking that. Separation according to ethnicity or by the skill? Different things, yeah? We would not have such discussions at all. Well, you know, it sounds like this. "Hey, you're very tall. You can't play basketball". If you follow the current logic (Blizzard rules) then ... Ban Maru. He is so OP. He took all the money. Back to back GSL champ, WESG champ, 3-4 IEM. He's working so much because he wants to be good as hell. All day long. Like crazy. Ban Serral. He is so OP. He's working so much because he wants to be good as hell. Working hard, really hard! He won 3WCSs in a row. He took all the money. Ban him!

It would be better to come up with something that made it possible to equally gives income to everyone. Other formats or like it was before: code B, A and S.

Serral by far the best player in the world currently. No one stands a chance in a real macro game against him. In both macro games, Stats got outclassed, destroyed.

Barely each time, also he came back from a close to unwinnable position.

And he successfully got, to start at the very least, under Serral's skin. This is why his win was so fantastic to see: the little things Serral got right throughout, majority of micro which was on an equal footing, macro (with Stats being likely more efficient overall, even after considering zerg's usually higher base count); but also Serral's strong psyche and -- as of now tested -- offline resilience to stress and endurance with the toughest opponents in the mix. Spectacular, simply spectacular.

You really think soO, Maru, Rogue, Trap, Dear, TY etc "stand no chance" in a macro game against him?

It's shocking how little foreigners have to do in comparison to koreans to become worshipped. INno dominated GSLvsTW even harder last year, and fought tougher opponents to do it, people called him the best but no one thought he was invincible.

It's like when a foreigner does well, people forget about any of their losses and focus purely on the win, when a korean does well people at least tend to put it in some kind of perspective.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Serral is very, very good. Leave it at that lol.
