I guess you know everything about GSL since you've been there so many times and practiced there. Right? You clearly have no clue.

There's koreans practicing just as hard as these foreign players you mentioned who haven't been able to do well in Code-S eihter. It's not just something you show up to and win on your first try. Try to understand the extreme amount of talent that participates there and evaluate your opinions.

It's a bit annoying to be called a foreigner to a game produced in your country by your citizens.

I think incorporating Koreans into foreign teams should help in terms of practice habits and regiments. Probably could also use some coaches. Given how much money there is in the foreign tournament scene, surely there'd be enough money in terms of player development. Otherwise, I can't see how one can reduce the Korean vs Foreigner gap in the near future.

It's just easier than to write non-Koreans.

do soccer players or musicians play for money? or do they do it because they love it, and try to make a living off of it if possible.
other responsibilities and/or market availability will force their decision but their passion comes before their need for money.

so talks of "foreigners have no chance of winning so why would they continue" i dont think is a legitimate excuse, an excuse but not legitimate enough to earn sympathy.

foreign teams NEED korean coach/players in their environment. look at all pro sports, such as korean football using dutch coaches and american speed skating using korean coaches. as a stepping stone for further improvement. (many teams are obviously doing this, not to win but to improve)

How can the cash cow continue to feed the Koreans if they beat the cow to death? They know foreign tournaments will die if the Koreans keep winning them.

fully agree with the person above. all pro sports (or even life) depends on coaching/mentoring.

I can see him getting out of his group ez-pz. I mean look at it, it's 2 people who should be in code B and Puzzle. Naniwa should get out easily. I like both Ryung and MVP, but they're not anywhere near Naniwa's level at the moment, I don't see MVP even staying in code A next season. However, the rest of the tournament is pretty difficult. Oz, Parting, Hero, Genius all have pretty sick PvPs any of them can end his run as soon as the first thing goes wrong.

Koreans are always mannered and if a foreigner wins, sc2 would get more known throughout the world.

I think you may be overstating Nani's abilities just a tad. I think it will be a major accomplishment just to get out of that group. Saying MVP and Ryung should be in code B... I'm not sure I agree with you there. If MVP is healthy he is a monster. I think you're being harsh on Ryung, although TvP is his worst match up.

I'm hoping that a foreigner steps up and really competes with the Koreans soon, but I'm not pinning my hopes on Naniwa.

Are you serious? Mvp got straight back into Code S this season and beat some pretty good players to do so.

This and IdrA recently making him look like a noob. Also, those games v gumiho last season showed exactly how far he's fallen. His control is nothing impressive due to his wrist problems, and losing to a bunch of landed vikings 3 games in 1 day shows his strategic skill has fallen off greatly.

They know that if the foreigner community continues to post lackluster results and continues falling behind in skill then the foreigner market is going to continue to fade.

Yeah, it pains me to see him play badly because of the injury. Sigh, I wish he could get a surgery like Flash did but that would cost a fortune... Or maybe he needs to use his "GSL Saving" to pay for that.

On the other hand, he might not want to undergoes a surgery because he would have an excuse for not going to a military (well at least in Thailand if you are injured like that you can avoid conscription).

It's not that weird to me that some Koreans want foreigners to win tournaments. Just think it for a bit that there was some sports or activity that was somewhat global, but certain one country always wins everything related to it. It's far more boring even for the winning country compared to a situation where the competition is evenly distributed among the part taking countries.

It's also a direct link to the financial success. The more global interest there is, the better the sports fare. It'd be totally weird if the korean pro gamers didn't wish for foreigners to do well. It's also totally reasonable that they still strive for winning.
