The only reason Korean pros are more skilled on average is because their culture currently supports e-sports a lot more than America's. The NASL is an effort to get Americans more interested in, and actively competitive in SC2. Edit: To continue: If Koreans dominated NASL like they do GSL, then Americans and Europeans would never get the same motivation to compete as they would if they were given a chance to win for a while. | ||

Kelly's accent is really quite horrible. She pronounces everything incredibly stupidly. That other guy (whose name I don't even know) is alright but it sounds like everything is forced, like he just says things because other casters do. (ノ`٥´)ノ what is this shit?

It's not steam, it's stim. Americans and Canadians pronounce almost everything the EXACT same way, too, and UK/Australian accents sound quite nice. I wouldn't even be bothered by almost any of her accent, I find it far less a problem than most people, but what REALLY annoys me is her seeming laziness. It's not hard to just NOT pronounce "stim" wrong, like seriously. Stim, not steam. I know they have the "ih" sound in asia. edit: Also everything she says has the infliction of a question on it, and she leaves off the s from words. He forget to siege his tank? He need to steam his marine? | ||

I only wish the format would change for GSL. I do not see how Code S/Code A is more beneficial than giant open tourneys. The lack of double elimination is pretty dumb too. If I ran a tourney, I'd prioritize player skill over everything else, and that means >bo1, and >single elimination ALWAYS. But I guess current tourney organizers don't agree in putting emphasis on player skill. | ||
