You can do what you what's done in Korea at home, you just need the dedication and motivation. That's my understanding at least. I'm probably missing something. It's not just grinding out a lot of games on the ladder or with other pros in customs. There's a teaching, guiding component to being in Korea too. As other people have pointed out Koreans don't just play a lot, or even rehearse the same build over and over. They discuss strategy with each other and Korean teams have dedicated coaches going over replays, pointing out mechanical flaws, ect. I know Nazgul acts as TL's coach and FXO has coaches, but the other foreign teams? I don't think they have much in the way of coaching beyond the players. And even then, if you aren't around the other players how much can you really coach each other? I know some of the foreign houses have the equivalent of player-coaches, but I don't think that's nearly the same. The skillset required to teach and play are different and depending on how player oriented that person is, their knowledge of the game is going to be slanted towards the matchups they play and even then, from the side they play. That's just natural no matter how well they understand the game, their exposure is limited. Most of the foreign players live in the Gom house, but a bunch of them travel to practice with other teams, FXO when they got there practiced a ton with fOu (leading to their merger). Naniwa lived in the ST house for a while too, Fenix of course ended up with IM, so he was obviously playing with them ahead of time, ect. | ||
