There has to be a certain method and structure to it. You don't just condition yourself as a competitior by exhausting yourself every day. If I can get what you get done in less time because I practice better then that's superior. The point is that you can practice for 12 hours a day and you can still be garbage. It's how you approach your practice. Also the education system stuff came pretty far out of left field too. Most asian countries excel in mathematics for example because it's SOLELY about repetition and memorization. You can just throw hours at it and be good. SC 2 is more about decision making then mechanics still. Did you really just say that mathematics is solely about repetition and memorization? What, do you think advanced mathematics is just more memorizing equations? Really? Not only that, Asian countries' school systems excel in all areas of academics, not just mathematics. | ||

Did you see the last MLG? The only amazing player at this one is DRG. Without other incredible TvZ koreans there i see him getting farther than before. This should be easier as a whole because no offense to the invites but Tester and Coca arent amazing. Nada's done good in the past but is no MVP/MMA | ||

"Hey, Naniwa, what was your win/loss ratio for MLG Dallas?" "Uh, seven." "Seven? Is that good?" "Uh, it's okay." | ||

It's not that no one can stop Naniwa, even if he finishes 10th or 12th at this MLG (I think he'll do better) he'll still get the spot because how many people competing in MLG have interest in going to Code A? Slush/Sheth/Idra all have declined multiple times, HuK has a spot... who does that leave who has an interest in taking one of the top 3 spots? At the least I think they should cap Code A to Top 14 or so. | ||

He got 2-1'ed by DRG, where the 1st/3rd games made him look like a joke. DRG placed last of all the koreans or 2nd to last. Huk at the moment is the best of those 3 players. I dont see any of them beating DRG, Bomber, Rain, maybe even Nada. Edit-No im not saying the same as the guy above me, i was saying that DRG should win this but the other Koreans will still own him. Cocas still a code S, Tester, although not known, is still solid material, Bombers amazing, Rains amazing, and its Nada. I know i criticized them in my 1st post but that was compared to DRG. Compared to foreigners lol | ||

WBC got trough the open bracket and got some win at the losers bracket and got only 140. So we only need about 100 MLGs for wbc to get to the pools. It is quite sweet system, isn't it.  | ||

If Ganzi wants to come in, go through 11 consecutive BO3s via the open bracket then pool play then championship than he deserves a code A spot. The way it is right now with the stagnant pool players the code A spots are being wasted completely with the same players turning them down each time. It's to the point where being in the top 16 gets you a code A spot. Also note that there are only 20 pool spots for non-invites. Just being in pool play is a pass to code A. It's silly really, the reason why foreigners can't compete in the GSL aside from Huk is that they really just aren't good enough. | ||

But atleast there's no all liquid group this time | ||

as much as I like Naniwa, I do think this is a little unfair, I hope next season they allow Koreans to take 1 or 2 of the Code A spots and leave 1 or 2 for the top foreigner placements.
