If that is to be be assumed surely the korean elitists are already kinda correct?

Most people watching, even the ones with a foreigner bias, likely expect that almost every participating korean has a good shot of getting through. Whereas I am sure these people would agree that maybe only 1 out of 3 or 1 out of 4 foreigners actually has a shot at getting through.
well it's been like 1 in 40... no matter how you look at it, thinking foreigners are doing well is just rose tinted glasses and reading the tea leaves. no facts agree with foreigner bias so far

No? Korean elitists are the ones who believe that average koreans are expected to beat top foreigners every day, in every situation and are those who think Code S is impossibly harder and more prestigious than any tournament in the world.
In reality, only a handful of foreigners at the highest level can hope to prevail against the best players in Korea; that's a very remarkable improvement from the darkest days in HoTS when not a single foreigner could be listed in the top 20 players in the world.
Today it seems we are going many years backwards but an unbiased observer would be surprised to see Trust 2-0ing Lambo, for example.

There is no foreigner bias, there only is korean bias.
It's not like ShowTimE, Reynor, Elazer, Lambo were hyped for winning Go4Sc2, they had victories and placements against top tier koreans in the most prestigious tournaments.
These qualifiers are going abnormally bad for foreigners considering we are in 2019 playing LoTV.
