More likely Koreans cheese the foreigners. It's standard to cheese players much weaker than you because you know they wont hold. Also, the foreigners will undoubtably have prepared snipe builds for all the Koreans (whereas Koreans aren't familiar with their play), I believe if a player has a sniper prepared then cheesing them is the best idea because it throws them of it.

You see, for me, if you are playing a weaker opponent, you better play a standard macro game as you know, you will win in it. While if you try a cheese, it might not work and you might lose. If you are a foreigner and you know, you will probably lose in a standard macro game, then you better try a cheese as it gives you a better opportunity to win than in a macro game.

If you have much weaker opponents you don't lose to them even in bo1, ergo these foreigners ain't much weaker than the koreans.

True, but the idea is that the weaker player will almost certainly have a specific snipe plan/timing. Cheesing them forces them to change it/messes them up. Nothing's worse than trying to snipe someone and they cheese you.



Bait but it doesn't matter. Korean's consider foreigners to be scrubs and easy wins so they will play like that, even if foreigners have improved a bit.

There should be an ignore system where you just don't see posts of the people you ignored, works on some other forums

There used to be a script that did this, but it broke at one point when the site was updated. Which was a pity, because it was very handy. Although I only used it for it's other use which was to highlight posts of people which you had "favorited". This way I could easily scroll through threads to look for progamer posts or post from people whose opinion I valued. Oh, it also highlighted posts which quoted your own posts iirc.

Personally I feel like ignoring people is not useful, I just mark them down as people to ignore in my head and still skim through their posts (or chat messages, or whatever the medium). Sometimes even those people say useful things, and I also prefer to see what's being said even if it's stupid or insulting.

Also, why isn't this a weekend tournament, no way to watch this live now. Sigh
