I just find it really disrespectful. This dreamhack after all was an open qualifier with a lot of amateurs, and his statement really downgrades foreigner tournaments in general. Ofc he can state what he wants. But dont expect to get a lot of fans like this. | ||

Jesus fucking Christ, for God's fucking sake, are you guys really picking on him because he stated a fact? Are you butthut because he claims that foreigns are 100x worse than koreans? Because if you are, then you must be a real fool. Foreigns suck compared to koreans, get over it. Wake up from your pink colored dreams and take it as a fucking man. | ||

Holy shit finally, so many crying foreigner fanboys in this thread. Koreans are leagues above foreigners, Korean tournaments are leagues ahead of foreign tournaments. Deal with it. | ||

still he is just a kid and allowed some leeway in that regard and he definitely seems to be upping his game lately, so I'll still be cheering for him vT&P. | ||

Wake up from your pink colored dreams and take it as a fucking man. I don't think there is anything difficult about the GSL format. In fact, it's probably the easiest tournament format possible. Long breaks between matches, lots of information about your opponents beforehand, etc. It just has the highest concentration of good players. It is unlikely that you will have an "easy match." Winning IPL4 or IPL4 is a bigger achievement than winning a single GSL. Same level of competition, little prep time, and a large number of games in a few days. | ||

LOLOLOLOLOL it's been a long time since I've seen such a ignorant, unfounded opinion. The only thing that's harder about IPL/MLG is the endurance factor. If that's your measure of skill then ladder grinding is the hardest tournament of all time. | ||

Lots of information about your opponents, but they have the same information about you. You can win an MLG or IPL4 with a lot of cheesy play. You can take advantage of being relatively unknown. The fact that every pro thinks GSL is the harder tournament should tell you something. You don't know more than them about tournament formats, sorry. No amount of bronze league theory crafting will change that. | ||

As a general rule (there will always be a few exceptions) foreigners suck at Starcraft - they always have, and they always will. Please just accept this and enjoy the beautiful game that we all love. | ||

Even beyond the argument about competition, consider these comparisons: DH Group Stage #1: groups of 3, round robin, bottom 1 eliminated DH Group Stage #2: groups of 4, round robin, bottom 2 eliminated DH Group Stage #3: groups of 4, round robin, bottom 2 eliminated DH bracket: group of 16, single elimination, winner is champion Code A preliminary: groups of 16, single elimination, bottom 15 eliminated Code A RO48: 20% chance of facing a Code S player, single elimination, 24 losers must re-qualify Code A RO32: 33% chance of facing a Code S player, single elimination, 16 losers go to Up&Down Code A RO16: 50% chance of facing a Code S player, single elimination, 8 losers go to Up&Down, 8 winners go to Code S Code S RO32: groups of 4, modified bracket, bottom 2 sent to Code A Code S RO16: self-selected groups of 4, modified bracket, bottom 2 sent to Code A Code S RO8: single elimination, winner is champion ...yeah, it looks 100x harder to win GSL than to win DH. And yeah, you can see why Naniwa might say it looks unfair that he can get an automatic Code S seed and start instantly in the RO32. Also why he would have been stupid to turn down such a gift. | ||

I understand he wasn't speaking literally, but if Korea was as easily accessible as some of the other foreign events I think we'd see more foreigners in at least Code A. | ||

Why do you morons not understand. He is not talking shit about foreigners relative to him. He is talking shit about foreign tournaments relative to GSL. It's the same as me saying that Mount Everest is harder to climb than Mount Himalchuli. It's true, but nobody is saying Mount Himalchuli is easy to climb, and it doesn't necessarily mean that I am capable of climbing either of them. | ||

Everyone pretty much knows that GSL >>>>>> foreign tournaments, although I don't know if DRG is *currently* the #1 player in the world (for a good reason, see previous line). Monster's a cool cat though, so I'm glad he got a little interview  | ||
