Scarlett is really overshadowing the Serral hype train right now, no one even talks about Leipzig anymore.

But I guess whatever you wanna believe to keep the Finns down. | ||

That practice is almost as stupid as the baby-talk English people use to speak to Koreans. | ||

That practice is almost as stupid as the baby-talk English people use to speak to Koreans. The "baby talk" is because in most cases they won't understand your whole sentence if you spoke to them as if it was their native tongue. Imagine if you knew Korean but do not speak it often, if a korean person spoke to you as if you were fluent, you would be totally lost except for a few words here and there. | ||

Checkmate. So in the end of this totally serious conversation I think we can now all agree that "a finn winning a premier tournament after +7 years" > "a foreigner making it to the ro8 of gsl after 5-6 years" | ||

But I guess whatever you wanna believe to keep the Finns down. I'd like to think that the reason people find Scarlett making Ro8 more impressive than Serral's Leipzig win is due to relative population (the number of Finnish and Finnophile Starcraft fans is necessarily a fraction of the entire community) and the fact that Korea has long been the bastion of Starcraft talent rather than insidious and pervasive racism towards Finnish individuals. | ||

Beating Cham, TIME, Serral, Elazer, sOs, Billowy, Rogue, Zest, and INnoVation | ||

Foreign terrans/protoss aren't saving builds/playstyles for an important series. They are wasting them on ladder or smaller tournaments. Zergs thrive on playing reactively or tossing in an early game all-in when they know the opponent is playing a certain way. If zergs know what the T/P builds/playstyles are and how they transition, it's extremely easy to adapt. Even if both players play perfectly, the zerg will win simply because they've already been exposed to the build/playstyle and have adapted. Zerg will always have that advantage because of how their macro mechanics work and how easy it is to tech switch. Terran & tosses need to switch it up more and not reveal everything before large tournaments. interesting perspective and you might be on to something here. | ||
