given how not too long ago, the foreign scene was a world away from the korean in starcraft, now into sc2, while still dominant, the korean scene is not the far cry of skill for the foreigners. Im proud of my foreign heroes. I know its only a matter of time before the koreans fear the foreigners.
bring back weapon of choice for hots!

The BW dominance doesn't automatically transfer to SC2 though.

You make it sound as if 1-2 years ago Koreans were completely dominant at a game, and now the foreigners caught up.

Whereas what really happened was that 2 years ago Koreans are completely dominant in Brood War, and are still just as dominant in it today. In the meantime, a new game got released, and everyone started on equal footing and equal opportunity, yet Koreans are already steadily pulling ahead.

Completely agree with the OP. Great post, and foreigners should welcome it, AND step up to the challenge.

I LOVE the optimism that I am seeing in this thread! Most everybody is like, "Yeah! If foreigners just buckle down a bit more we'll be on par with them." It's so great to hear, and the OP brings up some really good points.

I fear that if foreigners don't start to put in a bit more time that we will start to see the gap widen. But if we start to put in the time that is required (by the people who have already made it their life) I think the gap will start to narrow. I think the closer we get to the skill of Koreans the more Starcraft2, and eSports in general, will start to get more recognition in NA.

LMAO why do you guys do this?

*Foreigners lose*-> koreans are coming thread is bumped
*Foreigners win*-> Bump this thread

Whether koreans will dominate again or not will be up to the foreigner scene, right now koreans may seem dominating but we can't really know if it will be the same way. I'd hope that foreigners come to an even level, but I have no sympathies for people who work less for something so yeah, foreigners need to step it up.
