Of course they want foreigners to compete better, they know most of the money in sc2 comes from foreign companies. To keep the game interesting for foreign spectators, we need successful foreign players. If not, the rest of the world will lose interest in sc2, which will lead to way less money in sc2


Im sure there are some korean pro's (although very few) that genuinely want's foreigners to do good but the majority i feel say so just to get more fans/fame/viewers etc.. Wich ofcourse leads to earning more money because of the newly attracted fans who will watch their stream.

Nothing wrong wanting money though. ^^ But ofcourse it can feel a little bit phony saying things you don't mean.

I don't necessary meant it as a bad thing. Everyone wants starcraft 2 to grow, and to do so we need the foreigners to catch up before it is too late.

Personally i would get sick and tired of swedes winning every single tournament out there if for example Sweden was as successfull as South-Korea is at SC2.

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)


What they need is better discipline. -__-


or coach(one who can 'bitch slap' players that needs it, or with...love/care?), to put it simply.


I'm not coming back. Not going to happen.

I was talking about discipline as an innate quality opposed to the taught discipline.

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.

There is no doubt that North American and Europeans fans want to watch players from their own areas. With them struggling to to get to the top 16 of these major tournaments I think its inevitable that viewership will drop unless something changes.

and how are you going to impose that when its a cultural thing? korea's recent half a century success is largely by the individual's focus on hardwork, its a cultural phenomenon, how are you going to install this mindset in a different society, or even to a single person?

you're saying foreigners lack discipline yet it can't be taught. with that said do we wait helplessly for newer generation of players that grows up with discipline? at any case, those with discipline will come up on top regardless of being taught or not. those take this game as their career and life will do better than those who take it as a hobby and fun.
