This is as far away from being an acomplishment for the foreigners as you can get without having a korrean on top. | ||

It's not koreans that are superior. It's korean attitude, training style, professionalism. If you share that, you will at some point have a chance to be as good as the koreans. | ||

But to be honest. I will miss the godlike bw title of "able to compete with top koreans (and not training in korea)" | ||

Read the rest of the article, which discusses other foreigners and Koreans like IdrA, Jinro, and SeleCT here: Click Here! Seriously? How are Huk's wins any indication that the "Western World [is] keeping up"? He's a foreigner that is representing the Korean scene. His wins are just more evidence that the Korean scene is getting further and further ahead. You can contribute that to any number of factors, but Huk definitely does not represent the Western World in regards to Starcraft. If he had stayed and trained in the "Western World", I'm almost positive he would not have won HSC or Dreamhack. If the Western World truly wants to keep pace with the Koreans, training in Korea is the only answer. | ||

Training with top oGs players is much much more efficient than training with foreigners. On July 14 2011 05:42 SafeAsCheese wrote: And not be as good.

ZENEX has been on a tear, oddly enough.  | ||

But when Naniwa beat MC in HSC it was because Naniwa was training at the Slayers house and playing on the Korean ladder.. oh wait. | ||

Korea obviously has the better training environment, but ultimately it's up to each individual player to keep up with it, and he's demonstrated that he's capable of working that hard. | ||

I love Naniwa as much as the next guy, but other than him and maybe one or two other top top foreigners, there's really no one else that I can see competing with the best of the best that Korea has to offer. If people believe staying in NA or EU and just adopting some Westernized version of Korean training is magically going to start producing top level talent, you're being delusional. By the time that happens, if it ever happens, the Koreans will be SO far ahead, it'll just be BW all over again. | ||

Practicing on oGs is much better, for example, than practicing on ZENEX Korean ladder training probably doesn't make THAT much of a difference. Practicing in any house is a huge stepping stone for a player no matter who is in the house, if the top US/EU players made a training house and took it as seriously as the Koreans did they would start becoming just as good as the Korean players. | ||
