Well he keeps lecturing people on Korean culture and other people's cultures. So many generalizations. He does have some good points though, just not presenting them well. | ||

Like seriously. | ||

Doesnt change the fact that his arguments stand, but if you wanna win a discussion don´t forget humans are not exclusively logical | ||

In Sweden people watch Swedish football, even if it isn't especially good. That's how you grow a market. That's how you get localised sponsorship. That's how you foster talent. What he wants is unrealistic and idealistic. With the difference that in Swedish football there's less money to gain than in England. And THAT'S what some people seem to dislike apparently. Thorin made a good point: You don't have to force the Koreans to go back to Korea, you have to make the situation over there good enough so they WANT to go back there, that it's worth taking on the harder competition. That's the better approach than just locking the regions, for example. | ||

Sorry, I don't support everything Thorin is saying and don't care about region locking that much. My only point is that IF Korean sc2 was all that remained I would still watch. I would prefer a vibrant professional korean scene than a healthy worldwide amateur scene | ||

That most of the people don't even want to understand him(or can't cause they are too stupid) and are only there to spam "thorin so angry kappa" doesn't really help his points either. | ||
