You make it sound like there's a single person that thinks the best in the world aren't Koreans... Since when was Stephano 6-3? He was one game over five hundred just like I predicted. I won a lot of money due to that too. o; Those are special events man that mean very little in the bigger scheme of things. | ||

Or, generally, if there was no good Korean player? You are aware that Giyom and ElkY were big stars in Korea at the start and the audience was fascinated with them because they were exotic foreigners right? Just checking. Everyone was playing the game at PC Bangs at the time. You could make an argument for the guys who came later because several Korean players were idolized, but other than that you cannot be serious. Also the game was huge in China and guess what genius? They were the 2nd biggest scene for BW. ._. | ||

I don't watch a TV show I don't like even if its suppose to be good. Great for you, but I'm pretty sure nobody cares. This is not the "Will you stop watching Sc2 if your favourite players can't win anything"-thread, even though the article is pretty senseless. I mean, was it really necessary to do this big write up just to tell us Non-Koreans were unable to win a major championship this year? I'm sure there are better things to write about. | ||

Nobody should participate in the 100m sprint race because Usain Bolt is winning every time? Koreans are also people like everybody else. I don't see any reason to think of them as different species. They only have more discipline and invest/sacrifice more for the game. For all I care, the only thing that matters is the skill level, not nationality. Italy may have the best pizza, France best cheese, Korea best starcraft players  I wish everyone would think like us! | ||

No it isn't. TvT has remained largely consistent, PvP is probably the best it's ever been and ZvZ is marginally improved by making Mutalisks viable, but still nowhere near as exciting as the pre-Roach ling-baneling dance that used to be standard in the matchup. TvZ is nowhere near the legendary heights of the period where it was unquestionably the best matchup in StarCraft II, the entertainment value of PvT is directly related to whether or not the Protoss makes any Colossi, and on that front it will probably never be as good as the glorious days of San the Man's brief reign. And PvZ might be the best it's ever been... maybe... I mean, Colossi are less prominent than they used to be, but on the other hand now we've got Void Rays and Swarm Hosts... So, no, the quality of the games are not better than ever before, "and anyone whos actually a fan of the game would agree with this." | ||

I think it would be infinitely more interesting to see a Seeker translation for something like that, instead of the usual 'You guys are all fucked' from the writing straff :/ You can't argue with facts that is almost an all kill for the year. If your a fan of anyone who isn't a Korea, its a bit of a bummer for you. If your favorite players are winning, then its great. Personally, none of my Korea heroes, like MC, have won much this year. But like when you find out your local baseball team isn't going to the play offs, the season is pretty much over for people who are fans for foreign players. | ||
