If DRG, MC, Nestea... accomplished players would say stuff like this it would be ok, but for someone who just went to his first outside tournament its hilarious. | ||

I'm just pointing out that a LAN weekend tournament has a different sets of challenges than playing online or at GOM studio. The bit about the winning personality is as you said, the bland answers. straw that broke the camel's back, and apparently based on a misinterpretation of what you meant by winning personality. ;-) | ||

Beat a DRG sick from Mexican food (who wasn't even good at ZvP at the time) with two 2 base colossus all-ins, get spanked by Ret a few months later. There's a pretty obvious pattern here. P.S. Leenock is weak at ZvP. Beating him isn't that impressive bro. | ||

You know Monster once knocked MC out of the GSL entirely right? =p | ||

foreigners celebrate a winner not coming from korea like a superhuman, even when only 4-5 koreans from code A or lower take part, and we know why. everyone who thinks monster is just cocky or exaggerating is just afraid to face reality. he only straight says the truth, bear it and quit whining. | ||

They're pulling out wins, but seeing Genius struggle at Dreamhack, and the amount of matches that go to a third game, I think there's a dynamic to the foreigner vs. Korean rivalry that's still attractive to viewers. Not every Korean is going to go 22-1 - a lot of them are not that solid. Koreans aren't wiping the floor with top foreigners. And if it weren't for Genius (who is a bit of a wildcard anyway, I doubt he practices that regularly :D) being a buffoon at DH, I would have even said "Random Koreans aren't wiping the floor with top foreigners". There are like 4-5 guys who come remotely close to being a challenge to top Koreans... | ||

And you say alot of koreans aren't that solid, well guess what, maybe 3 foreigners in the world are solid then. | ||

DH was easy even compared with OTHER foreign tournaments. It's essentially stomping random Swedes for 2 days before finally having to be matched against top foreigners in quarter finals. Obviously any Korean is going to do well... That's why I think that it's a bit conceited of a declaration from Monster. Again, saying GSL is the hardest shit in the world is Captain Obvious level imo. But the caliber of play at IPL 4 (for example) was comparable I think, while it was certainly not at DH. That's true; you pretty much have to earn your way to these statements among other things. It is unfortunate, but interview inexperience(due to not really winning anything) may have something to do with it. I remember NaNiwa being kinda awkward, and blunt at Providence with his statements, but he seems to have become more eloquent with his more recent interviews. While I understand it if that's the case, I'm not too fond of it either heh. | ||

Fact is, any foreigner in the tournament will be worse than every player in Code S. There's also a reason a foreigner has never qualified for Code A-- because most foreigners aren't even Code A level. | ||
