He was a fucking beast and in my opinion easily one of the best players in broodwar (foreign) ever, but he was such a crybaby so he didn't make it in Korea. Also Blackman was as fucking beast. If you go to Korea I guess you know the conditions.. guess its better for Sheth if he doesnt like it, so gl to him. But I thought Idra didn't have the eye of the tiger lol. | ||

And they can play all day because unlike physical sports, there's little exhaustion, so that barrier is gone. How do you think professional sports got to where they are today? The first pro footballers were just factory workers dedicating all their spare time to something else, barely making any money off of it. | ||

However, this kind of thing is exactly why the foreigner scene is falling behind. More power to the rest of the FXO guys in Korea, you can do it bros! | ||

We're talking young people here, sacrificing an education and unlike professional sports players, not making the amounts of money to catch up on it when it's over. And they can play all day because unlike physical sports, there's little exhaustion, so that barrier is gone. I have actually written an article about this and I am being backed up by scientists who have done research in that field. Too much practice can hurt your performance. There is almost no proper research on effective esports training, which I consider a huge deficit. I am sure there are efficient ways to practice that do not involve 12 hour days, seven days a week. I doubt that too, maybe that wasn't that clear by my previous post. I know it's inefficient, I don't think anyone doubts that. Every single human gets tired as hell after 7-8 hours of continous activity. I know, it's a pretty big thing forsaking your life for some dark "job" without a clear and safe future for yourself. I would not do something like this myself. But there are individuals who are willing to do this, and show us the result of said mad training. By doing this, these guys top the competition. This set a whole new level, and others must be up there if they want to be competitive. You must offer a similar "product" as your competitors in order to stay relevant, and yes, it's risky as hell. All in all, I agree with your points though. | ||

Blind seemed more diplomatic and indeed more accurate, since as always, these people know very little about the thing they're attacking. Today is Witchhunt day it would seem when it comes to nice people in this community. Who's next, Sean Plott? I agree that the flak that sheth will probably get for this is a little much. Until he says something himself, it looks like what happened was that he found out the hard way that the korean training regimen was not something he wanted to commit to. If sheth did, in any way, let down his team (which is total speculation at this point) that's between him and them. And so what if he didn't feel comfortable doing super long incredibly intense training? Sure, he probably won't ever be competing for the title of the world's top zerg. But if that's not what he wants to be, it's his call. He's still going to be a very strong player, and there's no question he'll still be an important member of the foreigner starcraft community. If people feel let down that sheth won't be one the foreigners that can challenge the MCs, DRGs, Nesteas, MMAs, and MVPs in major tournaments, remember that he was by no means the only member of FXO in korea. I mean, QXC was probably a big part of why DRG couldn't make it through the code A qualifiers! And can you guys imagine how scary thorzain and naniwa are going to be after f-united?! @TotalBiscut: It's great to see members of the SC2 community coming out to defend each other over this crap. I applaud you for that. But while Falco is being overly hostile, you do seem to not take personal criticism especially well. Why not just ignore this stuff? If you're defending someone else and someone attacks you personally on the internet, it just means they aren't actually refuting what you said. There will always be people who will find something not to like about you, so why waste the time and energy getting into arguments with them? It can't be worth it. | ||

Double standards are ftw chubs It's not a difficult distinction to make for anyone with a functioning cerebellum. Calling a spade a spade and hating on people who do more for the community in a day than you will in a lifetime, is about as different as swatting flies is from mass murder. That said, the distinction could be difficult to make if you happen to suffer from your particular brand of delusions. | ||

I wish he would buckle down and work harder for the sake of fans. I would like to see him do better and see him competing in Korea again. | ||
