Don't know if I agree with your statement. I actually find Korean's doing less innovative builds than non-Korean. I'm not a huge fan of QXC but at least I commend him for thinking outside of the box. I've also seen non-Korean mech a lot better than Koreans these days. Some of the WCS KR mech air-vs-air is appalling with Raven micro. It's like they don't know how to play meta. I actually saw two Koreans in WCS stand there while they both shot HSM at each other, both pretty much crossing their fingers to see who would come out on top (sorry, i forget the game). Avilo would likely shake his head in disgust. Regardless, I see more interesting games on EU and US than KR. Feel free to link any "non-standard" WCS KR games that were entertaining. I'm not saying you have to take it to the RUFF level with 3-starport cloak banshee off one-base TvP; but somehwere in between. Thanks.
EDIT: If you mean better as in "skillwise" then I think Korean wins it. But as far as creativity, diversification and entertainment level I disagree. I think I'd rather sacrafice a "standard" build performed perfectly versus seeing something new and refreshing.

I just wanted to log in and say agree, I feel like from that standpoint QXC won the night, too bad he had to face the same guy again so basically he couldn't surprise Oz and then pure robotic skill won.
All these pro-Korea people are really weird... I can't see not loving it if QXC won he tries so hard and works so hard to be a top Terran. You really want any Korean over QXC or just trolling? SMH

If every foreigner would work "so hard", then we would see results more often. Also the creative builds seen on EU/AM ladder appear better then they are , cause the opposition is not strong enough to just kill them outright if they are used more then one time.
All in all i would not call pro korean people weird, its perfectly fine to admire their skill to win games, with every means necessary.
But having foreigners in the scene at least attracts more fans and makes sc2 quite big, so i hope we will see a few of them qualify.

If I want to watch koreans, I watch GSL (which I do regularly, just really good games there). When I watch WCS EU, I watch because of the european players, and I always hope they throw the koreans out of the tournament.

To be fair, better players, better games. If you win games, you are better player? So further in tournament, better games?

True, but the point still stands that they can.

i dont think you've been watching gsl finals at all. its roflstomps. so no, that isnt a valid argument.

couldnt agree with you more. the koreans (with the exception of bomber and mc) playing outside of korea seem like they couldnt hack it in korea. why would i want them to beat up the NA/EU scene? but i guess theyre here because there isnt much in korea besides gsl and proleague. if we want a korean free scene in NA/EU we just gotta hope korea expands their scene.

coL.qxc ended in heartbreak as the Korean duo of 
viOLet and 
PkD.Oz advanced from Group C of the Ro32.
