Thanks neeb for giving a call for the korean scene and the need of blizzard to change things up there.

On the other hand, NA>EU? Man I want the same stuff neeb is smoking... how many tournaments did an NA player win this year?

Neeb thinks EU ladder is better than korean ladder? xD omg

Considering KR GM has a lot of Korean amateur players and quite a few foreigners (from weaker regions), and that many of the high profile KeSPA players barely touch ladder (the account with the highest MMR in Korean GM has played 20 games this season), especially when there are still tournaments being played...

Doesn't sound that unlikely honestly.

I don't know shit about how much the actual kespa pros play ladder. What I do know is that nothing of this is new, kespa players are likely not playing less ladder than before. Meaning all that you say is true now was also true in wol and hots. Back then going to korea to ladder was thought as the ultimate training (besides living in an actual teamhouse there).

So when did we go from "that everyone(almost) that went to korea to practise sc2 leveled up incredibly due to much stronger ladder" to "EU ladder better"... It also doesn't makes sense since people are still going to korea to play sc2, Scarlett, bly and neeb among others. Why go and pay for travels and accomendations if the practise environment is worse than EU.

I'm not saying its not true, just saying its weird and if its true it really says alot about how far the foreign scene has gotten (or how the korean has fallen).

He did say that it's not ladder that helps you improve there but the possibility of custom practice with the pros.

I want to see how he reacts to his groups . I really hope he pulls a Snute and gets out in first place but that's so unlikely to happen

LOL

Na bro - see Neeb isn't going to get flamed like yourself and uThermal did.

It's not because you're a foreigner - it's because of the content you provided.

You two let your self-interest delude you into making ridiculous statements region locking is good because if you play worse players you'll get better faster!

Neeb though - was honest about what's happening with the region-lock globally - even though it could have negative impact on him financially if they change it - just like Harstem was... strange must be a protoss thing (hurts me to say because I'm T) - basically.. balls vs. no balls.


Wow never thought people can get baited so easily as you. You just provided another 15 Rage points to Nerchio .

I hope Neeb, Nerchio and MarineLorD can crush some faces in this cup .


Tho he is right. I respect how Neeb openly admits how the system is ridiculous and fucking koreans over really bad. All i got from uthermals Interview is some minor pity for the Kr scrubs since he knew If he disnt say smth like that people would complain a lot.

And besides that while i can laugh about pretty much anything, even i dont find the cocky welfare benificiaries comments about players who most likely are still a lot better than them funny at all. It just seems ignorant towards people who are suffering from the very same problem now that foreigners had themselves until a third party called Blizzard decided to save their asses lol

No it’s not that significant to me but I like making Europeans mad because, you know, NA > EU, so I want to do better than all the Europeans going.

This one strikes the right note, the skill gap is much smaller, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

Well of course because Korean SC2 is dying which means lesser talents to draw from. Many players have retired and there are no new bloods.

best foreigners are probably as good as mid-tier Koreans


That always was the case though, no? Are there more "best foreigners" now than before? Maybe.

Well we will see what happens at Kespa Cup and Blizzcon. It's easy to speak about it before and say the chances are good, but at the end of the day you also have to deliver when it matters (on the server)
GL, you will need it
