HADOUKEN!!!!

MMA has been my fav korean since the 2nd gstl, the drop play is always amazingly timed and always hurts the opponents multi-tasking. Almost every time losira attacked him there was atleast 1 drop killing all of his drones while his attention had to be elsewhere and all any terran has to do is shift click around the map then on the medivac then across the mineral line!

So stoked to see him in code s.

The chanting of the public was really amazing. Great audience, great tournament and a well deserved winner even though my heart went alot to the non koreans aswell.

What do you think of the foreigners, and how would they do in the GSL if they went to Korea?
MMA: The reason Koreans did better than foreigners is because they work harder, doing what they love with professionalism, putting in long hours with perserverence and passion.


Only part I have to disagree on.

Nice interview though.

What? This is absolutely true. Foreigners don't have anything near the professional training atmosphere that the Koreans do. The Koreans approach training like a serious job. Foreigners are so much more lax.


This is true. Foreigners tend to have their hand in lots of different cookie jars. Coaching, streaming, casting etc etc... Which takes up a lot of playing time. Koreans get up at a specific time every day and practice for at least X amount of hours every day. Then you have to factor in the advantage of team houses and having your life focus solely around Starcraft and pretty much nothing else. The work ethic in Korea in general is just better tbh. When i went there years ago on holiday i was amazed at how hard the citizens work man, there's no way people in England at least would work that hard. There's nothing special about the Koreans in terms of talent, they are not born with faster hands or a better ability to control a mouse and keyboard. They just work and practice harder. Which in turn creates talent.

The Koreans focus entirely on winning, that to them is all that matters. And they'll work their arses off to get the job done. Got to respect that.

I would love to see Thorzain go to Korea, maybe Slayers use him as a merc in the new GSTL? Or hell better yet just recruit him as SlayersThorzain.

Nice interview Nice to see MMA being so humble after winning. I just don't get why he mentioned thorzain (don't get me wrong thorzain is very good) but not idra, who placed higher than thorzain and is just as good.


IdrA may have placed higher but ThorZain had a better showing. 2-0 over IdrA and taking 2 games of MC today in the elimination round.

Also IdrA getting humiliated 4-0 at the end really put a downer on his performance. I felt bad for him.

Because Idra has already played in the gsl and did pretty well with consistent results in code s.

MMA really impressed me at columbus. Not just through his play, which was fantastic, but showing a little personality in his celebration. Hope to see him in more foreign tournaments :D

Thanks for the interview!

Koreans visit here often?

Here I thought they didn't even know of our little home.
