Code-A... is another story. To be 100% honest, I would still enjoy Code-A quite a bit with Tasteless or Artosis casting with Kelly. Now that it's Kelly + Doa, I haven't been as enthralled. Hopefully this will change though.

Even if the foreigners aren't as good as the Koreans, they will stop watching when they get knocked out. It makes no sense to me whatsoever... if the best players in the world are playing in the GSL, then I'll continue to watch. It's the whiteness factor. Many white people want to watch white people win. People rarely admit it, but it's the truth. A lot of the Europeans have mangled English and boring interviews as well, but their whiteness makes them more interesting to many people than a superior Korean player. Don't BS please, lots of foreigners are of asian descent. It's the fact that we know them from small tournaments that Koreans don't know about, streams, and forum posts, much like Korean fans know the lesser-known Koreans. Cella is much more widely known than most Koreans of his skill level because he streams, Select isn't white but he's as well or more well known to foreigners than a lot of white players. Using the race card is just so wrong here. Even in the coverage of GSL qualifiers, Incontrol gets a ton of screen time but Select, who is likely a much better foreigner player, gets almost nothing. Plus when you hear people talk about foreigners in GSL, they always forget guys like Sen and Loner. Why do you think that is? It's a good point but keep in mind, you're only talking about the English speaking world (that uses TL). Go to a Chinese-speaking forum and there won't be any confusion about whether Sen is a foreigner. I don't think the fact that people speak English on the forum reduces their capacity to identify who is or is not Korean in any way. But he's right -- when people talk about the foreign players Sen and Loner rarely come up. Look at the Foreigner Specials on this forum. The Asian foreigners don't get mentioned, for example. I'm confused. I agree with everything you said there. I was merely taking issue with how you seemed to be saying that the fact that these forums are English forums gives some sort of "excuse" for not recognizing non-Korean asians as foreigners. I'm probably just not communicating well. The only point I was trying to make was that while on this forum it might seem that Asian foreigners are ignored, to a lot of Chinese fans Loner feels like a 'foreign' player. So it's a bit narrow to say that Loner gets missed as a foreigner because he gets missed here -- not that we should be proud of that fact to the extent that it's true. Ok, I see what you're saying. Agreed. | ||

However, that might change once TSL starts, depending on how well the foreigners do against the koreans. If it becomes BW WCG, then it reduces to another chance to watch the top korean pros play, which is never bad but at the same time not as interesting from a competitive point of view. The best players winning is never a bad thing from a competitive point of view. I wonder what will happen in Koreans dominate MLG/TSL/NASL. Will they get banned? Of course they'll get banned. Then the organizers will talk about how this is a event for foreigners and that koreans have many events that they can play in already (ignoring the fact that foreigners can go to Korea and play in korean leagues). Just think TSL2. | ||

Hi, I won a beta tournament and a single MLG. Yet I can't actually beat any top pros. Clearly this gives me the right to bitch about imbalance because I am so knowledgeable. There is only one way to play zerg which is hatch first and terran can easily beat hatch first so they are clearly overpowered. | ||

I think he's really, really good, I just wish he wouldn't tap out of matches so damn fast when things don't go his way. We've seen play in both code A and code S this season where player X was dominating and threw it away with a mistake allowing player Y to win. Heck, it happened in every single HuK and July match in the last few weeks. Idra talks such a big game, says his opponents suck, but then gives those same opponents WAY too much credit and doesn't think he can get them to panic or make a mistake, so he taps out with near-even food when a push fails or something else dumb occurs. I say float your CCs to the corners, drop a random infestation pit, place a hidden pylon, etc. and keep HWAITING to the last supply! | ||

Code A isn't really offering the highest quality of games - mostly what I watch for in code A is looking out for improvement / rising stars. Will likely be the same in NASL - watching out for who's really starting to blow up and become freaking awesome. | ||

He's a very consistent player and his results in the GSL have shown this. Rather than completely dismiss his criticisms of the game as "bitching," you should try to address the points he makes so that you don't come off as being a complete jackass. Also, why are you bringing this up in a thread about GSL? | ||

I love the pressure they are now playing under. They have to be aggressive and at the same time do it flawlessly or in a split second they might look like newbs :D | ||
