EPTIf you actually asked the players, korean or not, you would see they have a great respect for each other. And you will not find one korean who gets upset when someone calls a non korean good.

The response to to sos winning blizzcon or the stories of golden and duckdeok. Granted pigbaby is proof things have gotten better but still this is still an issue | ||

I hope everyone follows my example. We really must do something against all this player complimenting! | ||

It's offensive to korean players to call people playing in tournaments like WCS global "good"? What a joke. The elitist attitude found in the OP and some other posters is a true cancer to the community. If you actually asked the players, korean or not, you would see they have a great respect for each other. And you will not find one korean who gets upset when someone calls a non korean good. I agree. We had the same issue last year with people calling the Koreans who won WCS EU and NA sub par players. The NA and EU regions will never grow unless the players get the respect and compensation they deserve. The OP is ignorant. Top GM EU players can play better than Koreans on a good day and Koreans can play horribly on a bad day. | ||

He's my mate and I love him but there is 0 way he plays on the level of a Code S player anytime soon lol. You need to get your blinkers off sometimes | ||

This man came from fucking New Zealand all the way to America, then Europe to hone his skill. He has made top 100 kr gm multiple times. The same ignorant and elitist attitude which thinks Koreans are the best and invincible fails to notice when they make terrible errors in game. | ||

Just cause a foreigner, or EU player, sometimes beats a korean doesn't mean they are on par eh. Thorin is talking about on average, what's going on eh? Don't take a specific game in your memory where an eu player beat a korean and use that as a model for the actual skill relationship eh. Because that's going against the actual facts eh | ||

I doubt this guy is even watching sc2 because almost every single match the casters accurately say who the favorite is. | ||

The same ignorant and elitist attitude which thinks Koreans are the best and invincible fails to notice when they make terrible errors in game. Petreaus isn't "top gm". He is literraly owning the EU ladder now that korean left. And you misread what I said. There is no way this guy play a game on the level of the average rain/soulkey/ty game level (even on a bad day there is no foreigner even getting close to have TY multitasking tbh). They can beat them if the koreans are playing at a shitty level (and it happens from time to time, lol at Panic dt shrine being scouted by his revealeted stalkers, that was like bronze level play xD). It appears you don't really know what's the real level of top EU GM. Psionic who got owned really hard by Snute sat for a good time in the top 16 gm. Ladder is pointless you can go high by spamming shitty all ins in some match ups that will not help you in actual tournament play. (that being said these guys are decent at sc2 and most of the time the one who aren't good mostly suck at the strategic aspect of the game and multitasking than anything else). | ||

The best Koreans have lost to foreigners, Flash to Naniwa, Life to Sjow, herO to Snute. Those that mean that they are better? Well, no, I don't think so. But definitely that they are good enough to win occasionally. So I think this discussion is pointless, everybody has got their own opinion. Foreigners are good. They are a threat to Koreans. I think the more appropriate way to approach this is that foreigners are the underdogs, and by that I understand that they are not expected to win, but they still could, which, in my book, having a chance against the Koreans, its a pretty damn good player. | ||

Yeah, I think that the OP is approaching the entire WCS system wrong. The reason the WCS is split up like it is, is specifically so we can find the best foreigner competition for the koreans. Like how WCG was. | ||
