I think it's pretty commendable that he's going for it. And it gives him a chance to play on the Korean ladder and experience their style of tournament play. They're tournaments seem to favour more mindgames, all-in's and high-risk, high-reward play in general. Part of the reason why I think Koreans have a slight edge is that they're not afraid to muck-up the game and win ugly. | ||

The thing I don't like about this argument is that it ignores the fact that no one over there has come up against his play-style either, and while he may be a big enough name stateside that you can prepare something special for him in a clanwar, I doubt any koreans will be downloading incontrol replays. I think it's far more likely that a foreigner will study the korean play-styles before the tournament than it is that koreans will be preparing in case they run across a notable foreigner. I wouldn't say that this dynamic is a big enough advantage that he can ride it to a qualifying spot, but I don't think it will work against him. | ||

We should all probably try to encourage him if anything. It isn't really difficult to go through this chain of thoughts: 1) do I have something nasty and snarky to say about Incontrol? --Yes --> walk away from keyboard --No --> write something nice! Seriously. What is saying something negative really doing for you. Do you want everyone to know that you have been "following" the SC2 competitive scene, and that you're a super smart SC2 fan who realizes Inc will have a tough time in Korea? Well everyone has a tough time in Korea so you're not really enlightening anyone at all. Go post somewhere where you aren't tearing someone down who has a love for SC2. What happened to this being a 'community'? | ||

What happened to this being a 'community'? It isn't negative though it's just an honest opinion from a lot of people. 1. It lets incontrol know where some perceive his level of skill to be at. 2. It may motivate him to prove all the non-believers wrong. Defeat generally makes me play better than victory. | ||
