True, true. I think the best chance for a foreigner to win an event now is around lotv release. 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.

Nah cmon, i don't think the gap will ever be so huge that foreigners can't win maps from koreans.

Looking at the players who are playing the final four tounaments, IEM and WCG are almost a 100% gone, maybe Asus/Dreamhack could go the other way arround.

I personally dont absolutly NEED a big foreigner win, koreans produce amazing games ( so do foreigners but a Innovation vs sOs will almost always beat any other game in terms of pure quality) and its fun watching.
Dont get me wrong, Naniwa or any other foreigner winning Dreamhack would be amazing, but its going to be really hard..

No, it might take longer than expected but that gap will show as the skill cap for SC2 is raised

Because no one watched Brood War right?

No i just don't have players I am interested in watching. I only care about events that have players I like to watch. That is resonable. I don't watch a TV show I don't like even if its suppose to be good.

The real winner of it all is snute, he can say he was the final foreign champion now.

Difficult if 3 of them are at the same time.

Semi-related but I would love to see another GSL World Championship turn-up again. As entertaining as it was, the logistics of hosting the event and having it start before WCS 2014 might be difficult.

Doesn't hurt to hope anyway.

Korean have no chances, Scarlett has been rising for the past few months, the glory is finally coming !

I think one of the EG guys could take WCG, Suppy has always been able to take down top koreans and Xeno has been steadily rising imo. Other than that it looks kinda grim, maybe Scarlett, Happy or Nani has a shot.

How is Sen doing nowadays?
