So I guess this is the thread where we take someone's (not entirely false) statements, which have been translated and possibly misinterpreted, and totally freak out about them.

As you can tell people are getting personally offended due to their emotional connections to the foreign scene.

Everyone here is acting like a bunch of pussies.

The fact that he's sucked in GSL and gets to final 4 in his first foreign tournament doesn't descredit him, it only proves his point.

Naniwa hasn't been practicing pvz for like a month, means his pvz is weak. His STATS even confirm this. Stats + logic = truth.

Third, we've seen all of our best foreigners that have tried in the gsl get shit on at least once, harder than they would have lsot than if they were at a foreign tournament.

Monster seems like kind of a dick :/

Also considering that only 3-4 koreans were actually in the tournament... ofc it was easier. He wouldn't have said that had he gone to MLG arena. (although I do admit GSL is certainly harder than even MLG, in some cases)

By the same token, for him to judge all foreign tournaments based off of what is by far the weakest major foreign tournament this year is preposterous.

Let's see... foreign tournaments usually have mostly foreigners.
+
Koreans are (generally) better than foreigners at SC2...
=
Koreans find foreigner events easy... whoa! the logic!

Seems like redundant news, do we really care Monster confirms this? IMO, seems like something useless to bring up, everyone who isn't in denial knows this, and its just going to cause problems talking about something most of us know is fact.

They should just be happy we're paying them to kick our asses for Entertainment, where is the praise for that? I'd rather them be honest, lol.

why are ppl crying tears over this

gsl is the toughest tournament that is obvious. there's a reason koreans in gsl can come over to foreign tournaments and dominate.

Time to use logic guys. International tournament difficult comes down to how many Koreans are present--the fewer the Koreans the less difficult it is. GSL is comprised of ONLY Koreans (save Naniwa this season) making it far more difficult. This is common sense that everyone should realize if you didn't actually take what Monster said as an insult.

That this is coming from an unaccomplished player doesn't make this any less true.

shame on him for telling the truth. Naniwa's PvZ is his worst matchup by far.

Of course, the reason why Naniwa is in Code S has nothing to do with player skill and everything to do with race.

The problem is he is just downplaying foreigner tournys in general. Throw this guy in the open bracket of ipl4 and see how weak the foreigner tournament really are.

I don't see anything that he said that isn't true.. Why are people complaining?

GSL is harder than foreign tournaments. He didn't say anything about his own skill level. People are responding irrationally just because they follow the foreign scene so hard. Even Thorzain said that he was expecting more good players in the tournament, check his interview.

i think GSL is more hard becuase of how much time between matchs that your next opponent can look up and watch pretty much every vod of you ever and come up with the perfect build that is the exact counter to your standard play more then the level of competition is 100 times harder

100x is just a random number, how hard is it to understand that he meant GSL is much much harder than foreign tournament (Dreamhack in particular) ?

Also, there is a reason why Korean b-teamers want to go to foreign teams.

GSL is run so differently from other tournaments that they aren't even comparable.
