It wasn't even close. I was really expecting it to be a little more drawn out then that. After Idra had defeated Puma, I was quite confident he would win; He had to go through Revival, and THEN Puma. Quite the task if you ask me. | ||

Might be a bit cynical but this was bound to happen at some point given the nature of the game; it needs to become a repeated trend before I think it will really affect my perception of where the balance of power lies though. Chances are that this weekend IEM NY gets rolled by TOP (if he's not too worried about his up&down group) and a KR player takes down MLG too, and then everything looks the same as it did before. | ||

However, if foreigners have any chance of beating Koreans in their own soil, they need to have system thats similar or same to what Korea offers to their players. The major reason why foreigners are struggling compare to Koreans is purely coming from the practice. Koreans have the right system that supports quality and quantity of practice to success in the esports. As long as foreigners dont get that similar amount and quality practices, we will never reach the level that Koreans have. | ||

He seems more like an upper mid-tier player to me. I don't think that any of those player's wins over him are as big as Thorzain's over MC. | ||

Thorzain over MC remains the biggest foreigner win, with maybe Huk over Nada in second. This right here. I always thought the best foreigners could do moderately well against the Koreans, even some top-tier, but Thorzain over MC, man, I cried, almost. Those games were great. | ||

It wasnt filled with high level koreans at all imo and yet every korean lost to another korean, apart from idra vs artist (come on, wtf was that about?) Ret vs alive and ofc stephanos run. stephano played brilliantly, but i think people are slightly bigging him up. I dont think he'd take out the likes of mvp, mma, DRG. one tournament, where a foreigner wins that has pretty much all the best non koreans in, and only a handful of decent koreans, and people think that all koreans are suddenly worse or something we'll see after a few more MLGsd and such, until then, there is still a huge gap in skill imo | ||

So no, I have never, or at least in multiple months, felt that koreans would be above others. | ||
