Well, best way to stimulate a competetive nature is to give them something they can't handle now and have to figure out how to do it. So crushing Yellow with Hellions might have been the best way to get him into SC2. Only time will show... | ||

It's like putting up a sign for Nestea vs Jaedong to see who is the best Zerg ... the fact is the games are different enough that the players who aren't currently competing in SC2 won't immediately pick it up. | ||

Now, are you making this statement without ever playing on KR ladder? I've seen some bronzes with airtight builds and 200+ apm on KR. Gold there is borderline masters on NA. I would say that KR is consistently two leagues ahead, from my experiences on both servers. | ||

I would say that KR is consistently two leagues ahead, from my experiences on both servers. as long as the leagues are still distributed similarly (top 200 GM, top 2% Masters, top x% Platinum, etc) i would assume you are correct. the top Korean players are much better, and the average Korean player is better. it doesn't make sense that someone in the 70th percentile on KR server wouldn't be better than someone in the 70th percentile on NA. | ||

However, later, he advertised his stream as a gold level KR server player. You'll have to take my word for that, as I experienced it I didn't think I'd have to bring forth proof it happened later (>,<) You make little sense to me. | ||

Haha, no, we're talking about leagues here, nothing transcending beyond that. Not talking about the proscene, just ladder, and you bringing up anything beyond the skill level of ladder is a bit silly (^_^) At the tip top level, ladder doesn't mean all that much. I'd be willing to bet that Bomber and Ace are both in GM, yet destiny takes games off of them as masters (this is the same for the NA and EU ladder, anybody high masters/low GM can probably take a game off a pro on a good day) Also, you didn't acknowledge my statement as correct or false, rather you tried to apply my logic to a completely different scenario (>,<) At the ladder level, i'd say below GM, KR is far faar ahead of every other server, as evidenced not only by what I said but by what everybody else who has played on both will probably say. As such, gold level players on KR are in masters on NA. At the pro level things kind of even out, and ladder doesn't matter too much. FXO players are probably taking games off deep GSL runners, if not champions, every day. | ||

They really aren't, in my comparisons to both servers, diamond is easily masters though. A diamond korean would be a low-mid masters player without a sweat imo. But gold/plat are definitely not masters level (though their build orders are more thought out still). | ||

Anyone ever have that feeling of planning something exciting (like a party or something), then it happens but no one is having fun >.>? Seemed that way for Yellow >.<. Edit - I just read the interview where Boxer said he was trying to lift up Yellow's competitive spirit. Makes sense I guess but he should have still went easier on him at least in this event IMO. Speaking from the perspective of an athlete (rather than an SC 2 player), I can say that if I were competing against someone who was better than me I would hate it for them to dumb down their play style just to "humour" me or whatever. I would actually find it sort of insulting. And I think Yellow was probably unhappy with himself for being in that situation, it's never fun to get roflstomped, especially when you're basically a god in the predecessor. | ||

Good luck Yellow if you ever come to the SC2 scene, I liked that game you won a lot (through boxer was clearly letting him win) | ||
