The concern created around the idea that foreigners haven't won a premier tournament with good korean participation in 2013 sounds so fake. I don't see how it's a big deal, I don't see how it's different from past years, I don't see how a foreigner suddenly winning one of the last 4 tourneys of the year would have changed a thing about it. | ||

Being a western teenager is hard work esp trying to be a pro with tiny bits of dedication for the game. (real) I blame the whole "we came to this country to give you a better life and you can't waste it on a violence simulator" mentality >_> | ||

Magnus Carlsens family did take a full year off to travel the world learning and playing chess in his earoy teens. That is dedication! | ||

I think its more to see the evolution of foreigners vs koreans. Remember that a couple years ago everyone was on equal footing and year by year we see more korean domination. | ||

I feel like a year or two after lotv seeing a foreigner take a map off of a korean in an offline competition will be huge. And I thought people learned something from the floor-wiping-with-foreigners that followed HotS release... No. They won't have any chance with LotV unless the game is going to be dumbed down multitasking-wise. | ||

They killed this game for me. ded I bet you wouldn't even recognize whether it's Korean playing or not from just watching a pro game with no casters. So stop pretending. Maybe you were never interested in the actual game to begin with. | ||

To be fair, the game in late 2010/early 2011 was still fairly new and the Koreans figured everything out a lot quicker. | ||

It is actually Blizzard's mistake that 99% of top level games are looking pretty boring. It looks rather that making correct units is stronger than the (true) skills of players. Especially in TvP who unit composition is more important than everything else. Many spells are too strong and have bad design, FF, EMP and fungal are there to prevent micro from opponent. It should be exactly the opposite. It's somewhat weird that 200 vs 200 shows the most boring fights and moments of the game. 150 vs 150 or 100 vs 100 are a lot better and more interesting. edit: From a research study in USA: Someone invited 24 people to watch a movie. Before the movie, 12 people were told that the movie will be showed in HD Quality. After the movie: the same 12 said that the movie was in HD, other 12 said "no" or "I don't know". Reality: The movie was NOT in HD. | ||

I mean storm dodging, templar control etc. | ||

It is so boring to watch and too strong for doing nothing. I want to watch micro DURING a fight. Pre-split happens a few seconds before the fight. | ||
