How is this community supposed to get some Drama when people act all mature and reasonable?

How revolting.

I really agree with what Idra said about the european scene. They suck at getting their players names out there. I rarely hear about morrow unless he's in a tournament, let alone the many other talents. I mean idra said it amazing when he said european teams don't get great exposure and don't do it like at all. It's bizarre how teamliquid/EG do this and that is why they are the two most known teams is they are so good at giving exposure to their players and themselves.

I hope european teams can do it eventually.

Also Phoenix how many times you going to say the US scene sucks? Every time you post in here? :D

The sad thing is that SC2 has been such a big hit in the foreign community, there's so much money being pumped in the scene despite some companies taking losses/relying on venture capitol, the fans are amazingly loyal...it's a shame barely any foreigners seem interested in putting in the work to truly do well. It's like a table at a feast being full of amazing food, and well within the grasp of these guys. But instead of truly taking advantage of it, they'd rather nibble off the edges. So someone streams in front of 2-3k people here or there, or gets on a podcast and does a good job promoting their team/product/self, or makes a good post on TL, etc. But when it comes to the actualy hard work and determination required to make a dent in this scene, where's the same passion and interest that's being put into marketing? I'm not saying no one is practicing. I'm saying something isn't right when, more than two years after SC2's release, only a handful of foreigners are making a dent against Koreans.

Naniwa gets a lot of shit for being an ass, but his dedication cannot be questioned. Huk has struggled a bit lately, but he's someone who is working hard to play as well as he knows he's capable of playing. In Europe, guys like Nerchio and Kas are working hard. Imagine if they had the ability to fly to nearly any event, like some of the guys on major US teams who readily admit they don't practice much. Sase is lucky enough to be on a team with the ability to send him places, and puts the work in to make the best of it - and it shows.

No one would be complaining if Artosis dropped this bomb instead of TB; in fact, Artosis has hinted at this before, but was nicer about it.These guys would rather be d-list internet celebrities than buckle down. I'm reminded of this great ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNFOMmTWhps

"Somewhere, someone is practicing." And he most likely ain't North American.

you just really like to shit on anything North American dont you....

you have posted like 5 or six times in the last 2 two pages saying literally the same thing every time. we get it. In the meantime, if you really want those lazy, skill-less North Americans to disappear. please get all of your friends and yourslef to email/twitter/contact Mouz, Acer, Atn, Empire, and all the other EU teams to actually market/promote themselves and host events and send their players to North America and Korea and take all of our money and leave us shitty Americans embarassed, shriveled up, and dead.

Till then, be happy that North America puts in effort and money into Starcraft and provide you with all this free content be happy that you get to enjoy it. and stop complaining already...

I realize you're joking, but they could easily do something where the logos being presented changes every 30 seconds or so to reduce clutter, that way there'd only be 1-2 logos on screen at a time. The image that was linked was kind of cluttery to begin with.

I have made what, 4 posts in this thread? Chill out

My points are valid. I'll refrain from continuing since I don't want to derail this responding to attacks. It's pretty clear NA has quite an amazing fanbase, multiple tournaments, and lots of media exposure. I'm just saying it's sad no one can truly take advantage of it because they'd rather practice a couple hours a day, stream/get paid, shill products, then go watch a movie.

of all the MLGs North America (which is just Canada and USA) has 16 podium placements rounding out 2 of the top 6 countries. Sweden, Germany, and France? 7 COMBINED. but dont take my word for it, check Liquipedia IPL? NA = 3 EU = 2
