People making a big deal out of nothing. Would people be happier if Monster said "Foreign tournaments are 3.14159265 easier than GSL"? 1.5x? 1.1x? 1.000001x? I miss the days when people could have non-inflammatory opinions which didn't get flamed. If you think Monster's comment is inflammatory you might be the problem... Besides. All tournaments I watch are foreigner tournaments from my view. I'm over this generalisation and categorisation between Korea and the rest. | ||

"twice as hard" or "far harder" would be acceptable saying 100x is unneeded gloating from someone who got knocked out by a forienger | ||

"twice as hard" or "far harder" would be acceptable saying 100x is unneeded gloating from someone who got knocked out by a forienger different languages have terms which does not translate well. Like when we say in English, player A got raped by player B. Do we really mean player A physically raped player B? | ||

It is a very common hyperbole expression - obviously the translator translated it too directly. 백배 and 천배 something something is a very common expression in Korean | ||

should he say that foreign tournaments arent that much easier and he is just a bad player thats why he struggeled in GSL? No obviously noone would say that so the only correct answer without saying that u are not as good as the other korean players is to say that foreign tournaments are 100 times easier. | ||

He said foreign tournaments, not foreign players. IPL4 was a foreign tournament, simply because Korean's participated in it and did well doesn't mean it wasn't a foreign tournament. Foreign tournament =/= foreign players. | ||

A tournament in korea consisting entirely of the best korean players is much more difficult than a tournament of predominantly foreigners with a few korean invites? Isnt that about as obvious as it gets ?? Yes it is, but the truth hurts for alot of people here. | ||

Right, so foreign tournaments are considered hard because of the Koreans that are involved. So I'm guessing the premier Korean tournament with the best of those Koreans would be harder. | ||
