I think?I think it's fair to say that people lose for a lot of reasons (both in StarCraft and other competitions), but in StarCraft those reasons are harder to see. Then people just claim "Well Player X beat Player Y so X>Y." Let's have an example outside of StarCraft: Rosol beat Nadal at the most recent Wimbledon, but nobody is going to start claiming that Rosol is somehow better than Nadal. People will claim that that loss was because of multiple reasons such as Nadal's physical condition and his mental state leading into the fifth set. We know about these other things because there are more interviews, information about Nadal's life, and his opinions in regards to why he lost. But in general, when you are talking about who is more skilled in the world of tennis, you do not point at who won a specific match, but who has better results over all. Ranked 100 Rosol played really well and Nadal played really poorly; those two events happened to coincide on the same day and the upset of the year happened. Even when you talk about a player winning a finals of a tournament, it's not just the fact that that player won the finals, it's also the fact that they made it that far in the tournament. So I think it's fair to say that in StarCraft, when we are talking about who is the better player, rather than looking at single matches, we should look at overall results. KeeN has managed to survive and play in the GSL for longer than any foreigner ever has. He may not be the best Korean, but he is better than just about every foreigner excluding a select few, especially in this format. So KeeN lost to a couple of foreigners in a small tourament, that happens. Champions lose games and sets to people who are not better than them. Regardless of how serious KeeN is, he is a lot better than VortiX and basically the entire foreign community. So yes he's a bit cocky but it's not like it's not somehow justified by his results. | ||

He only said one thing that was kind of derogatory towards foreigners. Chill. (who did a great job casting the matches, I might add) | ||

I don't think I would mind if Kas beat Life though. Kas is one of the hardest working foreigners so it would be nice to see him do decently, but then of course I want to see him crushed by Squirtle (assuming he beats Curious, which he should). =P | ||

On the other hand life's interview almost shoves all of the credit for being down 0-2 on to race imbalances and none to elfi. | ||

He has excellent army control, like Stephano and seems to have good game sense. The first series I remember seeing of Stephano was against MMA in the IPL 3 qualifier, and I was like --- this guy is clearly a genius; I didn't quite have that reaction with Jrecco but it was close to it; he hasn't played that much (to my knowledge) and beat a top 10 protoss convincingly (against zerg, probably higher up the Protoss ladder if you take into account his other matchups). He has a bright future ahead of him. | ||

His series against Elfi was hilarious. It was like watching GSL Season 2 again! I think that Koreans take balance whining a little less seriously than foreigners do. I recall when MKP and MC called Stephano v Sound at HSC4 and all they did was complain about how imbalanced everything is in a mostly joking way. The only person I've heard say another race needs help is Stephano. | ||

Still a bit sad to hear, and makes me a bit less inclined to cheer for them in their attempts to steal the money from the foreign tournaments. | ||

That was a huge win. You are a huge win too sweetypie! But yes, I love it when players are completely serious about it, .. it's the TSL, keen should not take it to easy. | ||
