Is this gonna revitalize them, and give them a target to shoot for outside of their own little sphere? Are the Korean fans gonna become more interested now that there's some perceived competition? Maybe a little national pride in their players like we see with our own biased community? Or is this the final nail in the coffin for the scene which has been rumored to be falling apart (i.e. lack of coaching support, motivation, teams disbanding, etc.)? I'm gonna be honest, I still don't think Neeb could touch the best of the best. He beat Stats and that's fantastic, but he managed to avoid Maru, TY and Zest and I think any of them would have beat him with a decent score (4-1, 4-2). That said, he made history today, and this could hopefully open up a fantastic storyline for StarCraft going forward. Congratulations Neeb! | ||

Actually in fairness - and I agree with the points you raise - he did beat Zest in groups 2-0. | ||

If you had asked me 2-3 years ago if any foreigner could come to Korea and win a Korean premier in the post-Stephano era, I would have thought it crazy. This is the biggest win for the foreign scene in Starcraft 2 | ||

Very well said ... exactly my thoughts ... will that give some additional effort or will it be the coffin? Unfortunately I think, the second is true as the future of Korean Proleague and Teams is already decided. And Neeb has beaten Zest, so I trust him that he is able to beat any Protoss from Korea. But as you mentioned - Maru ot TY would be a serious problem for him. | ||
