Listen you don't watch YugiOh win 2v4 base against Parting and think everything is fine and dandy.

That was an easy big amount of money for the Krs.

Blizzard claimed the gap is closing? or the community in general? Looks like the same as always to me. Except there is no one foreign above all the others, just a healthy number losing 3-0
Gap is increasing right now if you look at the performance of top korean terrans. Especially Maru and Innovation are out of this world.
I feel Ty looks slightly worse tbh. Also lost one game against Showtime.

I still think Neeb, Scarlett and Showtime had the potential to do better. triple 3-0 was unexpected.

I've seen a decent amount of gap is closing comments. Don't really care as there isn't enough international competition to verify it one way or another.
What we can do is see if Maru will make TY choke.

Normally I'd favor Neeb over Showtime, but with how he's played Showtime is definitely the favorite. And the English stream seems to be able to tell when games end to start working again.

What we can do is see if Maru will make TY choke. I think you just have to rely on the eye test at this point. Look at the play styles between Koreans vs foreigners and judge from that in addition to what little tournaments we have where both good Koreans and foreigners are playing against each other. The increased amount of streaming definitely helps.

Yeah but its like if he didn't do X then maybe he would have a chance. But over the rest of the game he also needs to avoid doing Y and Z.
And these koreans can just force potential errors over lessor skilled players all the time.
Right now it seems that all-ins are almost a non-factor when playing vs protoss and thus its alot easier to rely on the favourite to win.

As for TY, i would never see a 16-0 coming.

Why do I get the feeling that this PvP series is going to take something like an hour and a half?

Because it's a bo7 and an hour and a half is a reasonable amount of time for a bo7?
