Koreans will have a problem keeping their GSL titles this year. You may believe what you want. The truth is foreigners are strong.

Tell us how you'll convince all the top foreigners to move to and live in Korea to participate in the GSL, before we discuss the alleged foreign strength.

Hey look, a prophet! Can I get the winning lotto numbers from you by any chance?

I wasn't even arguing against you, just pointing out that I'd heard too many Korean/Foreigner discussions already, none of which produced a clear answer, and I wasn't interested in hearing yet another that produced no clear answer either. Not an attack on foreigners, just saying I was tired of the forum wars. But apparently you took it personally or something.

Lmao. I will happily burn my pc if a foreigner wins GSL
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

serral or sos wins this one

it's starcraft though and who knows what people are gonna bring to the table.

zest or sos might pull out sick builds but with it not being something like gsl, I doubt it.

You are welcome :-) I hope we will all get a lot of entertainment and "surprising" results from the upcoming tournaments in the next few months.

I do not have to convince anyone. Season 1 is extremely inconvenient for foreign players as qualifiers take place during Christmas and qualifiers for other events. You will see top players during season 2 and 3. The new team house is already setup. Season 2 should be interesting as there are no important events between WESG and Austin - early March - June.

Could it be possible I know something other people do not know? Like by knowing results of practice games between players? You know there are really rational explanations for some things and one does not have to be a "prophet".

I've seen far too many hype trains crash to put any stock into ladder games or practice matches. I'll believe your prophecy of a foreigner winning GSL if and when I see it happen myself.

There is no rational explanation whatsoever for claiming that The Truth™ is only what you say it is, and that everyone else can only "believe." Thinking that way is textbook irrationality, as a matter of fact.

Unless you really are a prophet. In which case......lotto plz?

If you actually know something, why don't you tell us what it is and how do you know it? Smartass hints aren't gonna bring you any credibility.

Does anyone know at venue will the event take place and how to get tickets?

It is coming near and due to olympics getting accomodation will not be easy. The earlier it'll be know where exactly it will be, the easier it'll be to get a place nearby. I haven't found any info on iem website

No idea. Probably best to ask them on Twitter or through email. Maybe Koreans have more info about this.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

'm not predicting a foreigner winning GSL, there is no prophecy at all. But I am saying there is a chance this may happen as the skill level is too close to call. Furthermore, I guarantee more foreigners will try season 2 and 3.

Where is the evidence that the skill gap is too close to call it one way or another? Just check offline results of top foreigners vs koreans and put a reasonable timeframe and i am fairly certain you won't find one who looks like a championship contender for GSL.
Is it theoretically still possible? Sure but not even really approaching "the skill level is too close to call"
