For example, Snute v Stats G3. Snute had a big advantage, could've torn Stats apart with multi-tasking. Instead chose a costly attack. 3/

Snute didn’t get outplayed per se. Rather he didn’t use his advantage - which was earned by playing better - in the right way. 4/

The "right way" to play StarCraft is to snowball advantages, find value and "get more ahead". Koreans are disciplined in doing this. 5/

TY v. Snute is a clinic in how Korean Terrans pull apart Zerg players and find value instead of trying to win all at once. 6/

Compare with Kelazhur v. Dark G3. Kela played awesome, but the “deathball” style is risky, especially in bio TvZ. 7/

Dark caught him out of position once and immediately won. 8/

My guess as to why this happens: NA/EU ladder opponents are much weaker than pro players, and let pros get away with this stuff. 9/

I would go so far as to say that foreigners are near closing / have closed the skill gap, but they haven't closed the discipline gap. 10/
