When Monster wins a major foreign tournament, then I'll take his word for it. =/
Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.

GSL is definitely 100 times harder than that Dreamhack.

That makes GSL harder and Thorzain didn't roflstomp Monster or Polt and Thorzain actually lost to Naugrim in the groups.

This interview was during the tournament, he thought he would win the tournament, facing polt.

I'm sure he will change his mind about this interview and act less cocky now
Hell, it's about time

Comparing foreign tournament to the GSL is like comparing 100 metre sprint to a Marathon.

This interview was before he was beaten by Thorzain in the semis and before Polt was stomped by Thorzain in the finals. Up till then he had beaten what he thought were the best of Europe minus Stephano. After it, I hope he gains a newfound respect for EU players.

I could respect this statement from a well traveled Korean (ie MC) or even a tenured GSL veteran. But Monster? LOL

I don't understand, what you mean just completely justified his point.

-Does jack shit in GSL
-Hits Ro4 in foreign tournament
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

People are quite mad about a Code B player taking top 4 in a Euro-dominated tournament. And he's far from being the best player in Code B too. San, Tear, Life, Losira, Seal, Pet, TOP, finale, Revival, sC...all better than Monster.

Thorzain won but by a thread on Antiga Shipyard, most entertaining game I saw at the event.

Edit: Remember, he was asked the question by the interviewer, he didn't say it out of anywhere.

Point me to these specific parts.

The only part I could really think of was when he said he was gonna win against polt in the final but he isn't going to say "OH YEAH IMMA GET RAPED LOL" in an interview. Also I would most definitely say that Genius was overall the best player at the tournament so I don't think you can say that this tone stinks there ESPECIALLY when that player is his teammate...

The fact that a guy like Monster who isn't even Code A level in Korea can take 3rd at a 'Premier' foreign tournament ahead of a lot of mainstays of the foreign scene without even playing well demonstrates how right he is, at least about this Dreamhack which had the weakest player pool we've ever had at a Premier Event.

He did indeed say it here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=331510

I: Bobhund from Rakaka.se reporting in, I'm here with Naniwa who unfortunately just went out of the tournament, how does it feel?


N: It doesn't feel too bad, I knew it could happen, I haven't practiced against Zerg for about a month cause I've only been playing against Terrans and Protoss in GSL. It still feels really bad of course, since I know I'm the better player, it just feels like.. I knew these maps would be played here but I went here anyways. I didn't think it would be as big of a problem as it was.
