I actually never understood how you can blindly (I don't want to use hate) but not appriciate they passion and skill. JYP, PuMa, MC, Polt, Violet and many more Koreans have great personality. Some might be shy but they are really funny. Met some of them (i.e Violet) at HomeStoryCup and had a fun time with him, really they are some great guys. I can fully understand people supporting their nation and being behind it, or in this case behind the foreign players, but that blind writing them off as not - enjoyable... seems wrong. Its your opinion, totally fine, but maybe you should think about it, because its offending to them and a lot of people that actually care about those players. I do support foreigners, hell yes, but I could never be happy about a victory of a foreign player in a tournament without a Korean, its a meaningless victory. The Koreans bring the highest level of play, that is competition and thats what fans want to see. I don't want to see USA vs Europe, I have that all day long in weekly cups and even there, I enjoy seeing Koreans participating and also LOSING! I don't enjoy it because they lose, I enjoy it because it shows competition. So.. for now, if a foreign player I like can manage to win (i.e Socke, SaSe, ret for example) hell FUCK YEAH, if MKP , DRG or Polt wins, HELL fucking deserved! MKP is unholy with his mechanics... and the Koreans are a blast to watch. ESPORTS FIGHTING! If one thing is not true, then its Koreans hurting eSports. That's not really true for all fans in all kinds of sports. Often college sports, junior sports, etc are more popular than other objectivly higher skilled tournaments with adults. I know soccer fans that follow the lower divisions obessivly because of their home town team plays there but don't care much for the WC or higher leagues much. People want to see things that exists them, that entertains them. Some feel that is higher skilled play, others do not. I do agree there's no reason to hate though. | ||

The anti-Korean sentiment in the Starcraft scene pretty much is though. While I'm personally not very inclined to subscribe to the sport-related "nation pride" thing, I can understand it. I totally get that Canadian fans rally behind Huk, or that the Swedes cheer for Thorzain and Naniwa. Hell, it's what happens all around the world every fourth year when the Football World Cup comes around. What I can't understand is the witch hunt against any player who happens to come from one specific country. In this case South Korea. That, to me, is not nationalist pride. It's something else, and it leaves a bad taste behind. | ||
