Do you really think that putting this sentence after the word "but.." in spoiler tags will make your statement completely spoilerless?? From what you write it is TOTALLY OBVIOUS that boxer (who JUST played) lost today He played yesterday actually. | ||

Q: Who do you feel are the best non-Korean players? Who have you heard of and who do you wish to play against? I suppose it would have to be Jinro, who is competing in GSL. Of the foreign players, I’d like to face Morrow. LOL. whats going on here?? Is there a feud I'm not aware of? Morrow said in the zerg invites thread that he liked all of them except FD lol | ||

On the other hand, Strelok's interview made me an anti-fan. I can understand his bitching about invites, but I find it odd that he singles out Koreans suddenly in the middle of his complaint about invites. Why single out Koreans? I just went to the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg invite threads and I counted seven Korean invites out of 13 total invites (unless there are 3 invites that I'm not aware of since it seems like Strelok thinks there were 16 invites...). I don't see the need to single out Koreans when they were only barely over half the invites. Furthermore, he makes assumptions that Koreans "don't seem to care about this tournament" when FruitDealer's interview professes the exact opposite. To his credit, he mentions inviting only "true Koreans" and making the foreigners in the GSL qualify like all other foreigners, but I still don't like the assumptions he makes and his general attitude against Koreans. Also, he needs to fix his wording - since when did Korean become synonymous with Asian? Would he also think it acceptable to bar players like Sen and Loner access from the TSL? I find his overall statements like "keep this a non-Asian tournament" to be offensive. | ||

I also hope for Fruitdealer to show us some excellent games. Like a true champion, he's placing blame on himself for his recent lack of performance in GSL, unlike certain other people who would rather point towards maps and balance. I heard that Fruitdealer has a rather loose practice regimen, and that he's been slacking off a bit lately. Hopefully, that will change. | ||

It's nice to see that he completely blames himself for his failures and is stating that he's making a very sincere attempt at improving. On the other hand, Strelok's interview made me an anti-fan.

I think you are reading too much into this... | ||

Where does he single out Koreans? How about this entire paragraph, which sounds utterly retarded and makes little if any sense at all: "And also I think that success of Koreans is pretty bad for TSL, because for example I, as spectator, really prefer to watch very nicely prepared non-Koreans against each rather than watching the usual games of Koreans, many who don't care about this tournament. If I want to watch Koreans play, I'd go to GomTV.net." And this entire piece: "I really feel that they shouldn't invite Koreans and make it like the last TSLs: an event for non-Asian community..." (Yes, I realize he also acknowledged the possibility of inviting only "true Koreans" and making the rest of the GSL foreigners qualify like everyone else, which does indeed work toward his credit a bit, but his last paragraph that I just quoted really seems to flat out say that he simply doesn't want Koreans in the TSL, so it leads me to conclude that he threw in the "true Koreans" part just to pad himself a bit from sounding completely discriminatory). It's hard to read too much into things when his statements are right there, ESPECIALLY that last paragraph. It just feels rather ugly and bitter in my eyes. I'm not simply trying to find faults with Strelok when they might not exist; I don't even know the guy in the SC2 scene. But he did make a pretty bad first impression on me. | ||

So what? Either he thinks the game is old enough that he can spoil anybody or he does not think like that and wants to avoid spoiling us (which seems to be the case) then he did it in a terrible way | ||

You should too. | ||
