Whether they're catching up or not, they certainly didn't deserve a high finish in TSL4. Few exceptions aside, it was obvious that foreigners (and a few Koreans, Taeja most of all) simply didn't put in the time and effort to prepare for their games and didn't prioritize TSL in their schedule. It's not all that unlike TSL3, when the top Koreans were the ones that entered the tournament carelessly and played terribly. People can talk about lag issues all they want, but if you remember how the games actually went, it's hard to argue that Adel and Goody didn't beat mvp and NesTea on well crafted builds and decision making alone. Even the LAN latency wouldn't have changed the outcome of those games. This is what 1 week (or more) prep time allows you to do if you use it. But around TSL3 time, that tournament was the absolute top priority for every foreigner in it. I believe it was Thorzain who said that he was only playing his next TSL round matchup and nothing else in between rounds. Compare that to how Mana or Select played in TSL4. It was basically ladder level play, with generic, unrefined builds and no specific plan to speak of, plus careless execution. Which is why I'm hoping Sting, being the only player to show he's actually invested time into TSL specifically, wins. It won't be the most glorious TSL ever, but at least justice would be served. | ||
