tbh, they are healthier/more fit than most foreigners.

It makes a big difference really. Keeps your mind fresh and also allows you to practice more, rage less, overall just good.

I believe the IM coach said something about how it is required of the players that they go to the gym in order to play with them.

They come up with these builds because they are looking at it from a different perspective, things are more clear.

Another important difference is the type of competition. In EU / NA, you typically have short tournaments that last over a weekend, so it is less of preparing builds for a specific match-up and more of being prepared for whatever is being thrown at you. However, the GSL is more of a preparation thing, where people tailor their builds for the map and the current meta game, so alot more thought is placed into perfecting the timing attack as compared to perfecting their mechanics. That is why players like Professor NesTea do so well in the GSL as compared to his foreign tournament showings.

The notion that "they are only better because they cheese" is just so wrong...

Cheese and all-ins breed good game sense and good mechanics. When you're playing long macro games, you don't get punished hard if you fuck up, because you can do something like throw down another couple macro hatches or whatever to get back in it. In a situation involving cheese or an all-in, fuckups are punished with near-instant loss. When players train for long macro games without appropriate fundamentals in executing and defending all manner of cheese and all-in play, they end up training themselves into using weak, sloppy play, because they've never been forced to keep their play clean and crisp. That's why Korea is the best server: because people there don't have the holy grail of macro games, and instead focus on shoring up their basic play before moving into other realms.

When foreigners are coaching some random platinum.
Koreans are training in a team house.

When foreigners are busy adverstising their sponsors.
Koreans are training in a team house.

When foreigners are doing all these interviews and talk shows.
Koreans are training in a team house.

When foreigners are getting into all sorts of drama.
Koreans are training in a team house.

When foreigners are giving all their strats away from steaming.
Koreans are thinking up of new winning ceremonies when they demolish everyone.

ofcourse its not practice... i mean look at kas's profile.

Me myself have been living like a progammer during the summer :D, i mean 8 hours of playing a day, (from 9-23) with brakes tranings etc etc, and the biggest improvement was from going top plat to going mid diamond :D i mean come on there is something im doing terribly wrong, im justr trying to understand, what is it that we Europeans and Americans do differently.


I like this argumentation. Someone's just too dumb to learn from proper practice hitting a skillcap is a proof that practice is not the reason for being better.

I guess there's something all professionals over all sports are doing fundameltally wrong. You can't deny Koreans practice more AND more focussed than any foreigners. Hence they are better. This is mostly a game of practice. You do need talent, of course, that's why it's still possible to hit a personal skillcap. I wouldn't be a good professional chess player probably, no matter how much I practiced.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judit_Polgár

Polgár was born on July 23, 1976, in Budapest, to a Hungarian Jewish family.[3] Polgár and her two older sisters, Grandmaster Susan and International Master Sofia, were part of an educational experiment carried out by their father László Polgár, in an attempt to prove that children could make exceptional achievements if trained in a specialist subject from a very early age.[4] "Geniuses are made, not born", was László's thesis.

She is by far the strongest female chess player in history.

All 3 got exceptional skill in chess.

However it's not just about how much you practice, it's about how you practice. Does any foreigner team have a coach in their team?
