“When we launched in the U.S. we noticed there were about 20 million online subscriber gamers in Asia, about two million in the U.S. and about 200,000 in Europe,”

Koreans are not really that good, but they just seem to abuse any possible thing they can to win (ie. spirits) I have not played one korean team in the past week that has not done spirit spamming.

A lot of Koreans are really hardcore about pvp gaming as well (i.e. starcraft).

Don't succumb to stereotypes. If you looked at American builds a month ago, 80% of them would have been spike builds. Once we get a tournament going, we'll probably see that Koreans can strategize just as well as Americans can.

I suggest you stuff your own foot into your mouth and STFU.

Most Korean's just take gaming more seriously, cyber athletics is a huge sport over there. They aren't cheaters or naturally born good, they just have a greater passion than the average american does for it

Any american, who is dumb enough to give koreans and europeans loaded guns for american bashing, should STFU. This includes you if you are supporting Branskins.
