I am always wondering why so many Korean gamers need translaters or dont talk much at all. Terran is not weak by any means, people have just figured out how to shield themslves from early aggression, harassment and strong first pushes. Terran needs to fokus on the metagame more now. | ||

Creeepy btw there aren't 8/17 posts crying about toss, liar. Maybe a couple critical posts in the past but that's it. Learn to count. | ||

I believe its like western school in that you can take a foreign language class if you choose, but it's not required. Hence why most Koreans speak only korean, and most Westerners speak only English. | ||

Without successful harassment terran would be screwed versus really good zerg and to a lesser extent versus toss. Terran must harass to win against elite competition unless it's an all-in or if the opposing player neglects to scout well. | ||

Something to do with the society or education system or whatever that hinders them from being good at english (by foreigners standards). | ||

You do realise that for a lot of us English is a foreign language, right? At least in Europe most people speak at least two languages and there's quite a number of people who speak three or even more languages. And I can't really imagine that there's any Western country where it isn't compulsory to learn at least one foreign language. | ||

Haha whoa calm down, I think his idea of "Western" = USA, while your idea of "Western" = European. The majority of Americans only speak english, which is what I think the previous guy was talking about. And you are right of course, most Europeans are multilingual, some to ridiculous degrees. I mean, if the greatest athlete in Tennis history actually speaks 4 or so different languages... says quite a lot about European multilingualism! edit: oh and btw it is not compulsory in many parts of the US to learn a foreign language. some schools require it, though. | ||

Terran dominate top of ladders. Terran dominate tournaments. Terran make up ~ 50% of every GSL or any other qualification tournament. Terran is least race played at the top (grand masters). Protoss is first followed by Zerg. Normal distribution would have 7 Toss and 7 Zerg and only 6 Terran in three criteria above/20 not the preponderance race has... | ||
