Well you are right, even if it was delivered in a extremely blunt manner. Congratulations on your top 4 placement at Dreamhack, MVP was right to send you out there.

haha, yeah he does.

and foreign tournies and gsl are such different formats it's hard to compare them. mlg tournies require incredible endurance due to the sheer number of games one has to play in a weekend. gsl has a much longer time to prep for each matchup, and the players are of higher caliber.

i think he might be right a little, but in MLG, you have to play for 3 consecutive days while in GSL you have weeks to prepare for your opponent...Better ask Squirtle what he thinks in terms of difficulty since he reached finals of ipl4, also Naniwa didnt play as well as he did in GSL (wonder why)

First off i think Monster is being a little bit biased. but he does have merit. BUT the main reason why i am against this is because it is the nature of the beast. GSL is over longer period, MLG is a grind. And Naniwa probably had jet lag as he got there only about 2 days before.

I think you guys might be overestimating the endurance aspect of MLG a bit. Sure, it exists, but most korean progamers practice 10 to 12 hours a day. They are used to playing at a high level of play for hours and hours on end. Sure, you can't prepare special strats and stuff with that many games, but in a tournament like MLG where you don't have to/can't prepare for your opponent, you don't really need to.

Holy shit he actually made an account to apologise for stating his opinion on the calibre of foreign tournaments?


Everybody in this thread that took offence to what he said should be neutered.

I think this needs to be added to the OP, so it does not get buried under the nerd rage that is TL.

Monster: Well, I think the foreign tournaments are about a 100 times easier than GSL. But I consider GSL to be the best tournament, all the elite players are in GSL.

It was over exaggeration... We all know GSL is the hardest tournament everything else is relative.

Naniwa mentioned that the map pool was messed up for Dreamhack, too. I believe other players/commentators were saying that there were way too many maps, and too many new/weird ones. And yes, Naniwa had just been prepping for the matchups in his recent Code S stretch, so that was probably a contributing factor.

There's a big difference in playing "10 to 12 hours a day" and playing 6-8 competitive hours. It's a lot more mentally taxing, and it's a reason why finals in foreign tournaments usually end up entertaining, because both players are so exhausted that more mistakes happen on both ends.

Also, I'm sure foreign tournaments would end up much harder if more top players participated. Right now, the elite wade through low-level pros and open contenders until they hit the Ro8 or Ro4 and hit another top level pro. GSL is top level from Code A Ro24 and up.

i cant see how his comments are cocky, GSL prob is ALOT harder then foreign tournaments(especially the number of players who are really good is alot higher, so that even even qualifying for gsl can be really hard even for good players).
and saying that he will talk differently now that he got beat doesnt make sense,as in the gsl he cant even get into the main tournament while at DH he got quite far(though i have to agree the player pool was not that great this particular edition).

I agree. It's obvious GSL is much harder when every foreign event is generally won by a Korean, that you guessed, is in the GSL.

All good I'm sure it means a lot to the people who are angry that you went out of your way to come here and write this.

Monster has won a new fan in me with that post, what a boss.

Wow, gotta give credit to Monster. Making an account just to post an apology which wasn't even needed since he's entitled to state his opinion. :o Going out of his way like that..I think he just won some new fans :D (myself included!) <3
