Afterwards only a few koreans were left to become the people to beat. So foreigners were able to crack down and focus on beating those people. Then it pretty much became a near level playing field as it is now. Foreigners are pretty similar to Koreans now but it's absolutey all about the teamhouses. what you say only makes me mad because i want it to be true, but you are wayyyyyyyyyy off. they are just in situations where they can look better. even studying replays from DH which i usually do was super hard because of all the mistakes made in the 'amazing/best' games | ||

One point though - the foreign scene doesn't seem to have a consolidated league, which I guess because of geographic issues may not happen any time soon, but having a league makes it easier to churn out skill and players. | ||

We are very far from the fun from MLG with Koreans winning everything .. It's a shame that noob players win a lot of money and go to blizzcon, while sick guys have nothing. So so ridiculous. But GG Harstem anyway, to be honest and humble. User was warned for this post | ||

I think the 8 Korean players who get to go to Blizzcon will be happy to get easy games to RO8. And we sure will get to watch more games like Life vs Lilbow. Great system. | ||

Have you not heard? the new system has made foreigners FAR better. Nerchio is probably the best zerg in the world right now and Neeb is on the level of herO, Classic, Dear. Solar's opinion is outdated. | ||

Heck, even in just VODS of Korean games you can find lots of mistakes. | ||

But Harstem complains that his skill currently is not growing. This sounds so stupid. The only feeling I have about his thoughts in this article is.. FACEPALM. Some people are just never satisfied. | ||

What?? there is literally no prove that foreigners got better at all, when bad player play vs bad player i really doubt that anyone of them will get better at the game. Playing vs the best and learning from them would make a player improve. Nerchio the best zerg in the world? what? if he won a tournament where all the good players are banned, that will not make him the best, Dark, Rouge even solar are better than him, in fact Korean zergs are having bad time vs terran and foreigners have no terran that even close to Korean terran level. Simple without global even you can't prove that foreigners got any better with this system, but they got richer ya. Players like Maru, Zest, Dark, Stats, TY and many others will not lose to foreigners that's why Blizzcon will have the lowest level of RO16 we have had in a long time. | ||
