To be korean you must be korean and live in korea, to be a foreigner you just have to be born anywhere but Korea and you can practise in Korea. Don't really care, but it seems weird, and like a way to make the foreign results look better. yeah it's a doublestandard and inconsistent. you can't be like 'a player is of a nationality if he was born there and trains there' and then turn around and call huk a foreigner when he doesn't fit your own criteria. | ||

A Korean is someone who is training "Korean style" aka gaming house, coaching, massive amounts of time sunk in. Idra/HuK count as Koreans in this case. It has nothing to do with ethnicity or nationality and everything to do with practicing style. Anyone can achieve Korean-level play if they practice like a Korean. | ||

Huk is not Korean and Select is not living in Korea. Isn't Rain living in the US? The point is the criteria doesn't make much sense. Why must it be both of them? Are you comparing if the scene is stronger in Korea? If so, why not using everyone that is practicing over there? Or are you comparing if koreans are genetically superior? If so, why not counting all koreans? I can't understand the reasoning besides that criteria, except maybe to avoid the discussion that would follow because people just can't seem to agree on it. | ||

If you look to your right you'll see that out of the top 5 foreigners with the highest ELO none of them attended MLG Raleigh. It isn't worth it for most newcomers who have to go through the open bracket for just a 5000$ 1st place prize. Guys like Stephano, Mana, Sen, Thorzain can compete with Koreans yet none of them usually attend MLG. I'm not saying that it won't be a Korean top 3 but maybe not Korean top 6. This. You have two of the top 3 Koreans on TLPD but none of the top 5 foreigners, is it really that surprising that the best Koreans roll less good foreigners. Though not to say that the Koreans wouldn't win anyway, but for instance Nada and Huk (both code S) have struggled in recent european tournaments but did a lot better at MLG. | ||

Top 6, I would think so. i think basically this. it works at the moment that all the pool winners lock up 4/6 of those spots and 2 of the top 3, which is real tight to get into. on the other hand, i can certainly perceive a situation where a naniwa/huk type of player to get up to second/third in a pool and then win a couple of series to get there | ||

But if only Trickster class koreans were invited, the foreigners would have a really good shot at it. | ||

I'll just post here. It's a double standard to say huk is a foreigner and select is a foreigner. If the requirement to be korean is live in korea and be of korean descent, then the req of being a foreigner should be to be of foreign descent and live outside of korea. Huk only fulfills 1 of those. either select is korean and huk foreigner or huk is a korean as well. simple logic | ||

It'd be interesting weighing specific training amounts/patterns to MLG performance. As in Bomber trains X number of hours per day and so on, and compare it to how much Kiwikaki, Naniwa, IdrA or whoever does. | ||
