Yeah the predictions are not my favorite part. It often seems like they talk more about a tournament trying to predict the winner than they do after the tournament about the actual matches. Still enjoyable but I prefer more post-tournament talk than pre-tournament hype.

I wish Incontrol would spend a little less of his energy making fun of other community figures. Whether it's a blog writer, the ever-present Slasher, Day9, or whomever, I get a little tired with how constantly he puts some others down. I hope I'm overreacting and it's just meant in fun, but sometimes it comes off as petty and mean.

I remember watching that video of Leta beating Flash, and he didn't seem overly excited at all. He just did a peace sign to the camera like 2 minutes after the match, because it was still in his face (and he just beat flash). I think Artosis was just cheering hard for Flash when he was watching.

I would agree that tournaments aren't as interesting with foreigners gone. I DO want to see the best players, but I want MORE of those best players to not be Koreans.

InControl is right. Instead of thinking about it, just analyze your own patterns. I can't help it. You identify more with foreigners. They represent 'us' somehow. Its not rational, but that's how it is.

Do you enjoy watching white people get stomped? Maybe like 1-2, stephano for example, do well.

@above, how do they represent us? I see no more similiarities between me and foreigners than me with koreans other than my skill being closer to the foreigners than the koreans.

foreigner only tournaments aren't interesting. the ones that actually attract the most people are foreigner + korean tournaments.

people like watching white people play koreans(because of the godly status we have tried so hard in the last 10 years to hype korean as) not white people play white people. it's like david vs goliath every time.

generally speaking of course.

Ya Azael does have a really good response, and I really enjoy his casting, though I'm afraid some people will start trash talking when he is in a more public eye. Hopefully not since he is great and seems like a good guy.

This is probably the reason. People like to get hyped and hope that david beats goliath. It doesn't happen enough for it to have great effect though.

iNcontrol is absolutely right that good foreigners get by far more viewers than Koreans. When Stephano gets knocked out of a tournament, viewership goes way down.

Its the absolute difference for me. I hate seeing players who I like (foreigners most of the time obviously) drop out of something, so I only watch games which are meaningless for me (only contain Koreans players most of the time)
