so i've been thinking

more so in sea, less so in taiwan, but it still happens

players like sen and moonglade

in their own regions they're near the top, they win a lot, but tehy dont win everything, ie moonglad can end up getting 8th in a tourney easy.

but when it comes to playing koreans every other taiwain or sea player will lose, 2-0, always.

except moonglade and sen.

why is this? experience with play styles?

ability to read the play better (ie actually just are better, but the local players play them that often they understand how to beat that ONE player?)

That thread about LoL really shows what blizzard is competing with. Those playing numbers are insane, if blizzard aren't proactive the game is going to be left behind.

I was already looking forward to this but that lineup is amazing o_O. Looks a mile better than the WCS finals will be (or pretty much any other tournament for that matter).

I wasn't excited one bit. but i think this might be one of the best lineups i've seen in a LONG time, all invites so far. but GOOD invites. not just popularity invites.

inb4 scarlett pulls out of ironsquid because of poor internet. Lineup does look good though.

Think i will watch gdstudio asus rog instead of zvp asia finals.

There's no excuse for ever getting so drunk off your ass that you vomit on yourself and have to be carried away by security. that's a problem.

The iron squid line up is good until you realize it's cross server play between europnes and koreans.

Gonna wait until the lan finals in Paris just like the last time.

So Ret just failed against an all EU line up.

Ya, Teamliquid has no good foreigners anymore. I don't think anyone would care if Nony and Ret retire at the end of the year.

TLO and Sheth are also pretty useless these days.

The only thing Iron Squid is missing are some KeSPA players. None of them even tried to do the qualifier, probably because they are still disconnected from the international scene and didn't know about it or KeSPA wouldn't allow them to play it.

Other than that, definitely a hot line up.

Do you really think KeSPA is going to be entering online tournaments other than MLG's terrible formatted garbage?

Looks like my choice to skip what was obviously gonna be 8 hours of korean pvp marathon was on point.

Bet artosis and Grubby are happy at least.

Looks like Chinese SC2 still isn't much to write home about. Sen the only player worth a damn from the region, as usual.

Well, top 6 ended up being 4 Korean Protoss and 2 Korean Zerg.

Still salty about no Korean Terrans being in WCS WC. TvX match ups are the most fun to watch IMO.

It's not even about which matchups are the most interesting to watch. You simply need all 3 races involved in the tournament or it becomes less interesting. Same thing happened when it was gomtvt.

Damn, went well yesterday... albit, this morning I encountered 10 mutons... both my super heavy dudes (scatter and normal missile ohoy!) went dead.

And a sniper I belive died.

Then straight onto a terror mission...

28 enemies killed later and 14 crysislsildsildsildslids killed.... I was victorius.
Only one agent went down.

Well, apparently TLO's Korean training paid off. He's in the semifinals of the GDStudio Asus ROG. He beat Kas, Elfi and Mana to get there. If he beats Elfi again he will face Thorzain in the finals.

Nevermind, TLO loses 3-1 to Elfi because of 2 cannon rushes at the natural that were poorly handled.
