LOL @ anyone who is actually upset about him switching races. Let me make it perfectly clear: HE HAD ZERO CHANCE OF BEATING JAEDONG.

No matter what he did he would still lose. I find it funny that he did something like that at a huge event where he knew he had 0 chance of beating him in any sort of game. I mean seriously guys, this is like your little sister playing against jaedong. If it was a player who had an even winning record on ICCUP I could see why it might be upsetting, but did you look at that guys profile? he's like 17-40. It really is not a big deal at all and didnt risk jaedong his deserved win.

That aside, this video is actually pretty funny. I found the opening commentary to be awesome because time and time again you will get people who are like 'OMG YOU HAVE NO IN GAME DEPTH ANALYSIS ESPECIALLY ON THE OPENING BUILDS BLAH BLAH' and here you are saying 'the minerals are mining the probes mining minerals'.

GJ!

Quit crying over shit that is completely immaterial to the outcome or to the game. The protoss player isn't even D+ barely on ICCUP, he went for a free vacation and to have fun. Who gives a shit. I doubt he does, since he's having a good time and you're on here at 5 AM crying about it.

I think it's more resentment that after things like the huge donation drive to get good Polish players to wcg, other countries with great players being underrepresented, etc this random guy gets his trip paid for. I'd be especially bitter if I had donated to get Yayba & Draco there but this dude got a free trip.

That's only cause to be mad at sponsors until he does the raceswitch; at that point he's a verified douche as well imo

wcg itself has nothing to do with paying for his trip, its the companies that hold the rights to organize wcg in their countries, its not some global corporation which decides " oh lol we will send a guy from azrebaijan but no from canada " its all about the company thats doing it in your country.
So his country held a wcg, he won even though hes a total scrub, hes D- ffs what did you expect him to grind out 500 games in a few weeks so he could survive 1 minute longer vs jaedong ?
I dont see how anyone could possibly have any kind of expectations from him or any kind of demands about what he should and should not have done and how he should and should not play, the second i saw him and that kenyan qualify i knew it would go exactly like this.
And about the race switch thing, is that for sure or is it all based on jaedong's word, because he can make mistakes too and see something wrong.

I have to say that while it's admirable how passionate SC fans get about their game, most of them fail to remember it's a GAME, and that this guy swapping his race at the last second when he's a D+ (literally) anyways and just having some fun does NOT make him worthy of the things being said about him, like he should go die, or he is despicable, or he deserves 0 respect, etc etc. He DID however deserve to lose, in the literal meaning of the word, but not in the way all you epithet-throwing band-wagoning people with a complete lack of perspective seem to mean it.

Perhaps there is resentment regarding the fact that this guy got to go and many much better players didn't. Don't blame the player, blame the sponsors and the organizations. Don't take your anger out on the wrong person. Sit back, calm down, look at it from a variety of angles, and realize that he doesn't need to die.

Also I don't know if Jaedong was joking around or being mean or what, but saying the guy played a computer - oh really, Jaedong? You're a fucking starleague winner who plays SC for a living versus a guy who can barely break D+ but won a free trip to play, is it really necessary to bash him as well? Of course he plays like a computer, dick.

I don't think Zim even knows race-switching is bad, tbh.

I mean wasn't he just a commentator for some other game that randomly decided to give SC a whirl at the WCG... and then won?

Edit:
Or maybe that was the Kenyan.
