I've seen countless x country/region vs y country/region arguments in a huge number of SC2 threads, whether LR or otherwise. Usually occurs when talking about EU vs NA, with average joe EU player talking down on NA players because the top foreign players happen to be from Sweden. I said in my post that cheering for your countrymen is perfectly legit. But to talk down on an entire region because Thorzain is really, really good and you happened to be born a few miles from him is nothing short of stupid. | ||

I do have a bias towards "foreigners" in the Korean vs Foreigner clashes. Not because I'm racist, just I consider the foreign players underdogs, and I naturally tend to go for the underdog in any sport. Although if IMMvp was playing...might be different :D | ||

I've never been big on the Koreans... I have the ones I will root for in the GSL, but I almost never root for a Korean against a foreigner | ||

It's also super good for esport in the west if we really get the country vs. country going. Say if Peter, 40 years old browsing the internet, stumbles upon this stream were Swedes are fighting Danes. He would get involved because he fucking hate Danes in sport :D he would cheer for the swedish players and maybe tune in next time. Thats how you grow a sport. You can't get someone fresh and expect him to get how you play a video game, you can however, get him to understand it's pride on the line. Btw I hate excessive patiotism on forums, makes me sick. | ||
