There might be a lot of great players in the foreign scene that haven't had the opportunity to train and grow because all the resources are being spent on Koreans. The rest of the world's infrastructure can't compare to Korea's. The BW success in Korea has given them a 13 year head start on the rest of the world. For coL to get better, they need to send some of their promising players to Korea to practice in the Korean infrastructure. They're not going to get better practicing outside of Korea. Even if they made a gaming house, the infrastructure and practice partners aren't there. Having a coach, players like DRG, Keen, Genius around you and having a Korean schedule will make some of coL's players rise above a lot of the foreign competition. | ||

Unfortunately its much to difficult to bring entire teams together in one place unless you have LOTS OF CASH. Also, the western scene is very stagnant I'm sorry to say, its always the same players in all the tournaments, add to the fact that nearly every western tournament is invite based giving no chance for up and comers to prove themselves. | ||

Yeah, and when tournaments/leagues have "no namers", the community gets pissed off and complain that so and so known player deserves it more. | ||

Better yet, eschew invitationals/invite only tournaments altogether and set up qualifiers, IGN has it right, even down to the prize pools. | ||

There might be a lot of great players in the foreign scene that haven't had the opportunity to train and grow because all the resources are being spent on Koreans. No offense, but there is no correlation between foreigners training and growing and diverting resources. Rarely do you see a player not attend a big event because there are enough funds. Invited players almost always accept, and when they don't it's because they are planning to attend another event. Korean lifestyle and training regime will be attainable by foreigners through exposure. You have to see how hard Koreans train to fully understand and work at a similar level. You're thinking that over time foreigners will make their own "Korean" regimes with no help. It's been 2 years and there are only a few so-called foreign training houses and none of them come even close to the intensity of a single Korean training house. | ||

Those great players in the foreign scene don't need to join a well known team you know. Look at korea, constantly new teams from new players who suddenly suprisse everyone. With the whole competition vs BW in korea you would think foreigners actually have more rescources to start their own team and practice. | ||

That benefits them greatly. yup. also if drg wins (which he will), he brings the team exposure and a bigger fan base which equal lots of moolah. for teams like this, it is all about the exposure. | ||

Koreans are not born to this high level of skill. They are trained this way. Everyone acknowledges that they not only put in more hours, but they focus and regiment their training in such a way to get the most out of each hour. These kinds of super players can be created in Europe and the United States. There are more tournaments, more players, more dollars. The only problem is that we have not taken the time to create the systems to train up the ones with innate talent and desire to be great. Look at how much Huk has grown since he moved to Korea. He was put in that system and has flourished. Imagine if the top five teams in the west steadily cultivated that style of training. In the next few years, we would start to see the west catch up. However, greedy teams want results now so they just borrow players instead of taking the long investment of growing eSports talent in the west. | ||
