| 00:00 - 00:05 | TL just announced the biggest foreign bw tournament in years |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and all of us got super excited |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | Then the admins said something about Scan playing |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | one of the top semi-pro koreans of the past several years |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | we all thought this must be some kind of a joke |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | Scan.. |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | in a foreign tournament |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | One time i tried so hard to proxy gate him i forgot to make probes |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | Scan.. |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | Sziky got so mad he stopped using google translator for his posts |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | and now there is a heated debate in the forum whether Scan should play or not |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | And on top of that the TL staff plans on hosting small 100$ tournaments every week |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | with Scan playing |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | in all of them |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | and they will go on for 6 months |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | until the TLS championship |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | poor Scan |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | it will take a keyboard and a mouse |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | to wipe the floor with all the inactive foreigners |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | And in the rules it's stated that korean and chinese players are not allowed |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | but Scan is an "edge case" |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | because he speaks better english than Sziky |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But let us get serious for a moment |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | the TL staff is ready to revise the decision |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | if any lag issues occur with him |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | That might be the only reason to ban him |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | if he lags on extra high lat |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | to think of all the foreign zergs |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | that need to play laggy zvt on low with him |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | Mutalisk micro.. |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | micro.. |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | mutalisks.. |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | vs a guy who practices with progamers |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | and against his best match-up |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | And all of the top foreign players that might have a chance vs him play Zerg as their main |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | And the admins know this? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Yeah they even update the foreign rankings |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | but they consider Scan a foreigner too |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | because he has a TL account |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | And they said that he contributed to the foreign bw community |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | How is that so? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | Well he opened one thread in the forums and reviewed a translation from korean |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | and also he translates some posts from korean |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | That makes him a foreigner.. |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | but he is still south korean |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | TechnicS and Eon got so mad |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | that they started agreeing with each other on every post |
