TL: MLG Columbus was very good for the Koreans, with you, Losira and MC placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. 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. Of the foreigners, I think ThorZain would do very well if he came to the GSL. This quote stood out to me. Why are the Koreans doing so much better than foreigners? We can't blame it on pro-houses and lack of sponsors anymore. Do you think coaching/streaming/lack of practice are causing the skill difference? | ||

Do you think coaching/streaming/lack of practice are causing the skill difference? The Korean server in general is considered tougher than the NA/EU servers, ladder practice would likely yield more training experience. Koreans tend to have a very systematic approach to training in team houses. A lot of foreign players still have school/part time work/families. Ofc, having a coach (rather than letting yourself be your own coach) helps too. Your TvP cannot possible be all that bad if you have the option to practice vs Alicia 30 times a day. | ||

Their level of dedication to the game goes beyond just practicing hard at home, they take nothing for granted. | ||

He had a really tough road with the group of death and then MC in the championship bracket (after already being down 2-0) | ||

That speaks a lot to balance, along with even the top 16 finishers. Terran with the lowest rep, but winning it all with this man's brilliant play. This was a great weekend for eSports. WP, MLG. WP The game is pretty well balanced, but the top 3 finishers being of 3 diff races is more due to the fact that those were 3 (arguably) best koreans. If you had MVP Bomber come over instead of MC and Losira the top 3 could all be T's  | ||
