No offense, but you play WoW.

Tons of people I would never guess to qualify
Lol, babyknight would be second in points, I think I saw him fail in the round of 8 4 or 5 times.
He made it to the final once, Semi once, ro8 once. Better then anybody else other then select (who only has 1 more point);
And he only participated in 4 qualifier
Just saying.
Is major really not sponsered? He's pretty good :/
Not a single America player on that list....

Never had the net adapter or whatever it's called, but that campaign was some serious ass quality.
Shhhhh...don't combat my perception of reality with your silly facts, it's rude.

Tellement vrai.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
How far has Stephano made it in GSL? Oh wait...
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I take offense. WoW is an amazing game with lots of communication, dedication and friendship. Battlefield is all about k/d.

Bwhahahahahahaha.
I've seen friendships in WoW ruined over a piece of purple gear and other various forms of drama. Shit gets old fast.
1/10.

WoW was amazing at one point. Now it's a wasteland of boring gameplay and most of my friends have stopped playing.
My favorite memories all involve playing with friends, often until 4-5AM - whether we were owning shit or had drama, I loved it all.

Pfft Major is North American. He is now dubbed American.
Eh, I'm not buying that. While it requires endurance maybe, the only difference is the ability to see your opponent days ahead and be able to plan. Top players will do good in both settings, as seen by DRG/MKP/Polt/tons of Koreans placing super high in both.
Though that might be because they just have to slay terrible foreigners in GSL. So actually I don't know at all.

Cataclysm was quite boring, and MoP won't be much different. I liked the Pandaran area while playing the beta, but once you finish it you're back to the same old game. Same boring quests, same repetitive dailies, and the same general sense that your actions have little impact on the world. No wonder subs are cratering, the heart of the game is gone.
Thank god for Guild Wars 2 next month

We should start an (SC2)GAF Guild.
Okay, maybe not completely different but some people are going to be better at planning and practising for a specific opponent than others.

Code S matches actually require the player to have some self discipline and preparation in order to advance. All those weekend events are a very good measure of skill, don't get me wrong. However GSL is Easily the hardest to win. There are a lot of factors as to why some big names do poorly in foreign events. Traveling isn't always easy on everybody. Many Koreans left their country for the first time when they went to MLG. Also most of the time top GSL players make it very deep into foreign tournaments + win. Look at the last several MLGs.... It's rare when they get knocked out by B- EG players that aren't the Koreans.

No, he needs to break through some international championships first.
Yes because the international scene in BW is totally comparable to the SC2 international scene

WoW is great,haters be damed.
And Startale has merged with Zenex. http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?category=13438&id=1242293
They finally found THE THING.
They finally found THE THING.
Considering Startale just got that huge Redbull sponsor, IM getting LG, and MVP HotSix, I'd say yes.
Well...
Slayers
StarTale
MVP
Prime
FXO
Fnatic (Basically Korean, wouldn't be surprised if it goes the way of FXO in the future)
HoSeo (To a degree...)
TSL (Really improved roster and overcame hardships in the last year)
I know you said prestigious and well funded, which I think applies to all of the above except maybe HoSeo.
Honestly the most interesting thing will be the injection of the Kespa teams from BW. I'm wondering if teams will merge, split up and it's players sold off, or what. It would be nuts to have 16 pro SC2 teams just in Korea.
