If we don't count innovation it's 4-2 for the foreigners thx to nerchio and stephano :D Also, 14-6? What? You included kr vs kr edit : my bad i read it as in matchups instead of maps, it's indeed 14 map wins for korea (7 inno, 4 polt) and 6 for foreigners | ||

Ps.: And I finally wanted to apologize for that blog shit that went down earlier this year, kinda was involved in that and really felt guilty because I behaved like a dick - so glad to see you back here, after all. | ||

Having a king all-killing would be so much hype, especially if announcing it before the event :D. | ||

Kings was inspired by a desire to change that and in order to do that, we had to radically change the format to something that lended itself to creating all of the things listed above, in a way that was easy to understand. SC2 still has casual viewers, lots of them actually, they're just not tuning in to every event. Of course they aren't, they're casual after all. To attract casual viewers, the story needs to be accessible right off the bat and the action called in a way that's easy to understand. Traditional tournament formats have a lot going on at once. They are intimidating in that regard, difficult to track. Sometimes you might not even get to watch your favourite player because there were 8+ games going on at once and that one didn't get streamed. The experience of connecting to a player and following them can be a frustrating one. I've always liked small events and went out of my way to create them. One match at a time, simple stories that can be understood and followed. Kings really felt like we were going back to our roots of the "1-day invitational", where the action starts and finishes in one, easily digestible day, with a story that carries on logically to the next event with whomever remains King at the end. I still think the MLG 2011 format was the best thing an organizer has done yet to attract casual viewers. The idea of having GSL "invaders" in a group of local players was brilliant, as were the winning streaks generated by their "championship sunday" format. (even if almost no one liked the extended series part, it still had the excitement of a player going through a gauntlet, much like a KotH) | ||

Biggest Streak: Innovation - 6 Biggest Terran Streak: Innovation - 6 Biggest Zerg Streak: Stephano - 3 Biggest Protoss Streak: Dear - 3 Gives it a race kind of a feel. this feels suspiciously like some sort of a list | ||
