It's ridiculous that there was enough fuss in the first place that he had to make an account just to apologize...

Don't worry, the next time Monster gives an interview to the foreign community (if he ever does again), he'll say something like "foreigners are very skilled and the games will be hard but I look forward to giving good games", and so will every other Korean who doesn't want a 20-page complaint thread on TL, and then we can go back to complaining that all the Koreans are robots and show no personality.

I like how people talk about Naniwa like he's a mainstay of Code S. He has been playing very well this season but last year he was 0-10 and couldn't even keep a Code A spot.

sigh, TL users being drama queens again. We even manage to create a big enough fuss so that Monster had to make an account to apologize. I feel sorry for the guy.

We should be the ones apologizing for being pathetic busy bodies. Remember that Naniwa incident with horrid translation?

first off, u cant translate tone in an interview from korean geeze. and Monster made it to Code A that almost no foreigners (idra artosis jinro and sen in open season and maybe 1 or 2 later?) are ever able to do. so when u guys say hes accomplished near to nothing, at least its way more than all the top foreigners. where would naniwa be w/o his Code S seed? still in Code B where he belongs.

i also thins its hilarious how whenever foreigners fail hard in GSL, theres posts upon posts of excuses for jetlag but whenever the rare occurrence of a foreigner beating koreans in foreign tournaments, jetlag becomes a non issue.

Here are the facts: GSL is 100x times harder than foreign tournaments (to win or place well in), korean players are the best players in the world, the top foreigners are able to compete with the top koreans for now, and foreigners would still be having trouble in GSL w/o seeds.

Yeah, seriously. People don't know what they want. They don't want politeness (they think its boring/robotic), they don't want honesty (he's elitist! BM! rawr).

People should honestly be ashamed of the way they reacted, to the point where Monster had to apologize for saying what? That foreign tournaments are easier than GSL?

Morrow said literally the same thing in this very thread, and we don't see any outrage about that. Maybe because he is white?

Foreign pride has gone too far. Sometimes the TL and Reddit community reminds me of the worst aspects of US football fans.

GSL = 100x harder than dreamhack

He places 3rd at dreamhack.

Thus he should place 300th at GSL.

GLS are about 150-200 players in Code S + Code A + Qualifiers/Code B

So Monster, unless you finish 2nd or better at the next dreamhack, please refrain from trying to qualify for GSL. Thank you.

I agree it's obviously a hyperbole, that doesn't mean it sounds good though. Obviously people get upset due to it, but the true meaning might've gotten lost in translation for what I know...

There's no arguing with that logic, clearly.

1. You are using math in a very stupid way.

2. Code S starts with 32 players, Code A with 27 players, and Code B has a cap of 576 players and using this as a source, I would assume that atleast half of it gets filled, totaling way over 300 players.

Monster finished at 168th in last code B, meaning this GSL will have 226 players above him in the rankings.

He is right, who always win big foreigner tournaments are koreans than play gsl code s/a with some exception like in this dreamhack.

How can you say that's hyperbole when he concludes that Monster needs to get at least 2nd at the next dreamhack?
