In those "weekend tournaments" like MLG, IPL you have to be prepared in all matchups to win those tournaments, this is for me the crucial point for all players. i didnt say its easier/harder. its different, Stephano hasn't prooved himself in this setting but others have | ||

However, for a highly skilled player like Stephano, on top of his game, this is more than enough time to fine tune his play. Just as an elite athlete can train with another for just a week or two and improve, a normal athlete would probably just be getting over being sore. Or another example would be going from course to fine when sharpening a knife. The knife has to be already sharp in order for it to continue sharpening on the fine setting. Too many analogies, I know... All I know is that other pros including IdrA have said that takes months before one would see a benefit from a Korean training house. I trust their word more than your blanket statement backed up by irrelevant analogies. | ||

I'm certain he will improve a bit, especially in ZvZ. | ||

Don't want to offend to him, nor you if you're one of his fan, but considering Idra's (or HuK's, TLO's, ToD's) skill and results, before and after months in Korea, i wouldn't trust the gracken either. BTW, we agree on one point : I doubt Stephano will progress much in Korea either. | ||

They go to Korea, they are still not good enough to beat x, blame it on the time in korea being too short. | ||

He is the end all, be all, authority figure on such matters after all... | ||

Idra is not elite, and of course is 100% correct in saying for him and most pros that have gone to Korea need more time, MUCH more time. This is more in tune with my analogy in the fact that you need to be sharp in order to be fine tuned. Of all the foreigners who have gone to Korea (for SC2) even Naniwa is a far second to the skill shown by Stephano. | ||

Of all the foreigners who have gone to Korea (for SC2) even Naniwa is a far second to the skill shown by Stephano. I just don't see a reason to assume that the difference in skill between Stephano and the other foreigners who have gone to Korea will bear on the amount of time it takes to see improvement from playing in Korea. Surely there is no principle that is uniform across knives, physical sports and Starcraft. The process of improving Starcraft skill is very different than those things because it is heavily dependent on building ingrained habit, which takes time. For example you dont just see a new attack timing and then magically know how to defend it. Not only that but practice at the pro level is also map dependent. Stephano is no more used to Korean playstyles, timings, refinement and metagame than huk idra etc. | ||
