Hard to say because Foreigners don't have all the same training regimen. For instance, Nerchio seems to play a lot, MLorD much less (and he stopped playing for a few months at the beginning of the season too). I think it's safe to say that Snute, Nerchio and such play probably as many hours or so as most of Koreans players, but that most of foreigners might be playing from one third to one half less. The main issue anyway is not how many hours you play, but much more the quality of your training. Koreans have teams, which ups the quality significantly. And even when the don't have a team, like ByuN, they have more practice partners available it seems. There is also a mindset and "intelligence" factor, which is hard to estimate but is a big factor in my opinion considering training quality. I'm thinking about MVP or TaeJa for instance, who couldn't play that much because of health issues, or Stephano, who couldn't play that much neither because of laziness and booze.

We look up to foreigners and put all our trust in them and time and time again we are let down. Of course occasionally you have that one run, but for each of those you have a 100 full foreigner runs. | ||

That way you can shit on Blizzard and use "welfare" in a few more sentences. | ||

Of course occasionally you have that one run, but for each of those you have a 100 full foreigner runs. Things have also changed this year. Foreigners have notably practiced more, especially players like Nerchio who is a god now, and, imo, one of the biggest differences between foreigners and Koreans has been stage experience and mentality. We saw time and time again that foreigners got a lead vs a big name Korean then tilted on the big stage and that's because they so rarely had experience on it. Both of those have improved significantly. Foreigner SC2 isn't throws into more throws anymore and that makes all the difference. | ||

More like white privilege or xenophobic hate mongering than welfare. 2016 WCS will be as effective as Trump's 2017 Mexican border wall. | ||

But saying "majority" is a gross overstatement. Also many top tier foreigners retired so it's easier for Koreans too :o | ||

Quite a clickbait headline  and it said that the title sounded arrogant but the interview not. nothing wrong with that is it? | ||
