EPTThe reason Koreans are better at Starcraft is because they have put the “pro” into programmer – practicing typically 10 hours a day. MMA said it best himself -

the problem is its a very high up judging by recent tournament and I wont count the gsl world championship team league as a sign that the gap have lessen because on the individual tournament when money are in stake, all the foreigner except tt1 which face another foreigner got eliminated in the first round. So like I said. Its a very long way up | ||

It's not just a "claim".. If you watch that game's replay, and compare it to other games of Losira, the difference is night and day.. His APM is normally something close to 300 on average, climbs into the 400s frequently.. In that game it was under 100 for the most part... Just watch the replay, it becomes very obvious that the guy was telling the truth. Even then he barely lost to DT shenanigans... | ||

Get up and play. eat. and then play and sleep. over and over again i cant think of any top non-korean player that does that. They practice alot, but its not that religious. Im not one for this korea vs rest of world, but i think we should all be proud of what these players did, much respect :D ♥ I can't quite understand how you would even KNOW what the typical practice schedules are for a top non-korean. I've never read anything about their exact practice schedules, so where did you find all of the information about how non-koreans practice? Honestly, I see people throwing around the idea that non-koreans practice less, and I can't help but ask, "How do you know?". It just seems like so many here want to point out that non-koreans aren't even practicing for 8 hours/day and that just blows my mind. I just can't believe it. | ||

Well, we don't really know exactly how much everyone is practicing on a per-hour basis. But we do know some things:
It could very well be that some foreign players practice as much as the Koreans but even if they did, the quality of their practice would be much less without the benefit of living together with other progamers. I think a good comparison is to the Olympics - wealthy countries tend to do much better than poor countries. This is because the wealthy countries spend money on practice facilities, coaches, etc. This type of infrastructure needs to be developed in the non-Korean scene for non-Koreans to be successful. | ||

I dont mean to say that the foreigners are on par with the Koreans, but they are close. Its just a matter of time. | ||

Only part I have issues with is the console gaming thing. Who in their right mind thinks consoles are competitive with a pc? Take a CS 1.6/Quake progamer and his computer, match him against the entire opposing team on consoles. Let them pick the game (he might need to practice a while depending on the difference from CS/Quake). I am not entirely sure they would be able to touch him. At all. | ||

"Despite claims of a non-working keyboard INcontroL took a game off Losira and could have easily taken the series with a little bit better timing." I thought it was Losira with the keyboard issue and not INcontrol??? Did I miss something?  | ||

I don't know if you read the article, but the Koreans absolutely manhandled Columbus where every top foreigner excluding HuK and Jinro were present. How exactly is this not "completely dominating" when the 4 koreans in pool play took the 4 top spots of the whole event? | ||
