yeah, idrA can be considered Korean since he practice over there for three years and do the same practice routine (10+ hours per day) that none the foreigener do



yes, he danced when he's not 100% winning. say something about the different mentality between them isnt it ?


playing with faulty keyboard in game 1 and mouse only on game 2



Jinro and idrA practice the same way as the Korean and that show in their result
also Jinro was one of the first to come up with macro terran style back then when nobody else have a way of dealing with it but now that everybody else have start to do the same he started to fade (quoted from idrA on inside the game)

the WC tournament team games is a showmatch. Thats why the korean send their (arguably) 4 weakest player on day 1, if they start with July,MC, MVP, Nestea on day 1 there wont be a day 2



if by barely you mean got the top 3 and only got eliminated by a fellow korean



all the Korean (except maybe FruitDealer, he need to stop drinking) are practicing much harder than top foreigners

I cannot help but laugh at all the people that honestly do not see a true disparity between top tier foreigner skill and top tier Korean skill.

1. To all the kids that constantly reference Dimaga beating Nestea, Idra's Ro8, and Jinro's double Ro4, stop. Really just stop, you are embarassing yourself. That is as relevant as referencing Fruitdealer's GSL 1 run and claiming that because of those specific games he is a top level zerg (which i do not consider him one). All of those, with the exception of Dimaga vs Nestea (even that was a while ago) WERE MONTHS AGO. The game has changed VASTLY. Look at Jinro, he is stuck in the past. Sure it may have been good BACK THEN, but the Koreans have evolved at a terrifying speed. Where is Jinro in all this? He's stuck with his terrible losing streak. As for IdrA, what has he done? Stomped Americans in IPL? Gone 6-3 in NASL? Tilting against real players in MLG? Cute.

Also to Dimaga vs Nestea. Keep these points in mind. The Koreans walked in the WC expecting to ROLL these kids. They didn't have specific builds outside of the usual, nothing new, nothing special. In fact many of them hid their trained builds for the ACTUAL GSL. Dimaga and the majority of the foreigners came into the WC with practiced builds to snipe all the top koreans. The Majority of the koreans admitted that they had no idea who the majority of those foreigners were.

2. Everyone foreigner that has come to a korean event has almost been stomped into the dust and then driven out. Jinro could not sustain his spot, nor could MoonGlade and Ret. Huk barely made it through but for how long? The thing is the Koreans improve at an UNFATHOMABLE RATE, and with a consistency that is just damn frightening. MakaPrime, Poltprime, Nhs_san, MMA, DRG, Losira, Inca, Zenio, July, Top, SC; ALL of them were thought to be one trick ponies. Now they are all pretty damn consistent, the majority of them holding S class (which is damn hard to sustain).

3. People note how top foreigners can hold their own against top Koreans. Ya, MAYBE in 1 Bo5, but who are these top foreigners people constantly mention? ThorZain, Naniwa, IdrA (and now Nerchio/Dimaga/etc). Yes, Thorzain, Naniwa, and IdrA are damn good. Yes Naniwa and Thorzain are new Sc2 talent for foreigners. But in the time it took to get those 2 Korea spouted out DRG, Ryung, MMA, Gumiho, the whole MVP bracket,. The resurgence of players thought dead like SC, Maka, Inca, Polt, San, etc. Not to mention the scary talent still in code B like Seed, Yongwha, Squirtle, etc that we saw but havent splashed too big in the scene. EVERY GSTL we see this terrifying new line up of players that just blow our minds. We think "HOW DID WE NOT KNOW OF THESE PEOPLE?" This is what Korea has. We have a FEW names that can come even close to contending, very small bits of new blood to attempt at the scene, and just as many names that just fade and die.

Ahhh Now that we've vented all our Koreans v Europe v Idra frustration,

Should foreign tournaments invite DongRaeGu? What about MVP_Keen? orrrrr Random player: MVP_GuineaPig!!

Oh my, I'd like to see Leenock's older (and plumper) 'brother' GumihofOu! Gumiho has an epic Terran mech-heavy build.

Anyhow, DRG anyone?

Hahah Korean elitist crap,

Only reason why the koreans are mass declining dreamhack is becuase they affraid to get there ass kicked by the top EU pro´s and they should be affraid considering Dimaga kicked the crap out of Nestea.

I woulnt be supriced if GomTv told the koreans players not to go becuase they affriad what would happend if all the koreans lost and they lose there little number 1 sc2 tournament.
