It's probably one of the more interesting interviews with TaeJa. But I love his bluntness. | ||

Of course you can tell the difference between shit NA pros and top tier Koreans. Enjoy your un-earned money. If you want to be a professional you should work hard and earn it, not have it handed to you because you weren't born in Korea. | ||

 Really, this just sort of reinforces that we're being more paranoid about this system than the players affected by it are. Also, of course soO has a high view of foreigners and the other WCS regions. Look at how many times he's credited Catz for builds he's used in GSL. | ||

This is a dishonest way to state this, because the top foreigner players are already getting screen time in the current system. The people we will get to see more as a result of the change is people who are a level below that, and yeah I can certainly see the difference between those people and average koreans (or even top foreigners). | ||

I still wish for Blizzard to keep the Korean scene alive more though. More money and points for GSL, WCS points for proleague, KeSPA cooperating more with foreign tournaments, more tournaments in Korea. Anything really. I don't believe Catz when he says that the difference between Koreans and foreigners is small. Haven't we gone over this argument often enough? The foreign scene largely consists of people that play part-time. Every single Korean pro is favored against every single foreigner with like five exceptions. | ||

 Seriously, the three regions similar in difficulty? I want whatever he is smoking. Now really seriously, couldn't be that he meant something else... like... "you should be recognized and rewarded in the same way in all regions regardless of difficulty"? Otherwise I really don't get it, if GSL wasn't way more difficult why would all these Koreans fly to other regions...? | ||

And we'll lose Polt and Bomber next year too because of the military, that's sad. its more of a health issue for taeja, his wrists are really bad, when he streamed, he would stretch after everygame. he even had to take a break during ATC finals which shows how severe it is. | ||
