That is because the Koreans are professionals. And there level of skill is higher then that of the others. So that would mean that changes of winning would shrink drastically.

Deactivated3011 28 Aug 2010, 13:25
in hon you would just go to the player ranking, look for his name in the top rankings and just select some replays you would want to download and watch. Hon's system of replays is by far the best ever :)
