Gogo Grubby! Last you got second at Singapore, time calls for a first!
Also great write-up.

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.



I dont get it, if you dont care about watching great players perform, but only about nationality (please correct me if im wrong but thats the impression youre giving) how can you even enjoy watching sc2 in the first place?

Sure koreans are more dominating than ever but at the same time the quality of the games and the playerskills are better than ever before.


sc2 is getting more and more beautiful for each week that goes by, and anyone whos actually a fan of the game would agree with this.

Well written article. The amount and level of Koreans competing abroad have both grown, and that makes it unfair to compare across years. That said, it'd be great to end the year with a major win.

Scarlett is our best bet, though I seriously hope Lucifron goes farther than ever. I love his play, and foreigner terrans just have SO much trouble...

No. There are many fans of the game who do not agree.

Nice article. It is indeed a sad state of affairs, but perhaps we simply need to be patient. It is no secret that Korean cultures general acceptance of gaming is far greater than ours (the west) and that we are far behind. However what is also clear is that our culture is becoming more and more accepting and consequently in a few years we may see Europeans and alike coming through who have been playing just as much as the Koreans and are hence able to compete with them.

My only worry is that such developments will arrive too late for Starcraft 2, but in such a multi-cultural world supporting people from other nationalities is hardly uncommon, as any person who supports a good football team will know! So until there are some 'foreigners' to carry the baton, I will be cheering for my favourite Koreans. I beseech you all to do the same!

As the final minutes of the final SC2 tournament takes place, Korean lips will gracefully touch the trophy and trigger a countdown. In those precious few moments foreigner Y2K, Ragnarok, the End will commence as Koreans solidify themselves as the ultimate overlords of SC2.

Or maybe nothing special will happen while Koreans continue to take foreigner money. Great writing by the way stuchiu.

Let's not kid ourselves. Foreigners are done and won't be winning another Premier Tournament unless you lock out all the Koreans. That or you find yourself another miracle outlier like Stephano.

Atm the only player in tesl to beat him in a series is san in the finals of one of the seasons, he's already beaten san in his current tesl group and has beaten sase before.
He's not in the same group as suppy but he does also have TRUE in his group. He never played harstem in Tesl.

besides scarlett and naniwa, which foreigner would you really call to have a skill potential that could equal a, let's say, average gsl ro16 player's skill? I don't think there is any.

Sen beat San in TeSL like a day or two after San 2-0d Jaedong and HyuN in the dailymotion cup. San might not always play his best offline but that's still a solid result imo so at least his ZvP should be ok
