Jos 'ret' de Kroon just won the first ever Zotac Cup in StarCraft history with taking down Protoss player Jian Fei 'IefNaij' Wang in the grand final. Kroon saves himself 100 Euro in prize money and talks to readmore.eu about his performance and the high skill level of Chinese players.
A little preview:
Did you expect that you would reach the finals?
ret: Not really, there were many great names in the tournament tree, especially Chinese players. Unfortunately, they lag with the rest of the world, and many of them had to be disqualified because the lag was unplayable... If that hadn't been the case, surely a Chinese player would have won the tournament.
The rest here: http://www.readmore.eu/index.php?cont=news&id=5026
enjoy!

Original thread title: "Ret: Exclude Chinese players from none Asian events SC"
This is really a sensationalist title that doesn't do anything other than make it seem like Ret is against Chinese people. If you read the article and interview, that's really not the case, as Ret credits their skill and says its unfortunate that they had to be banned but for the sake of game quality and future tournaments, he agrees with the admins decision to exclude them. The headline here should be that he won, not that he wants Chinese players excluded. Title changed.

I agree with HB, the title of this article is really misleading. ret wins a tournament and his victory interview becomes "Ret: Exclude Chinese players from non-Asian events"? What about "Ret wins first-ever Zotac Cup"??
|
only korea can stop the ret!
|
Nice! Will the FPVOD stream be returning ever or did I miss the train on that one?
|
Big congrats to ret. Well deserved.

|

|
Congrats ret! you're great guy and I hope you more success in the future.

OK, Frans Bauer is a valid reason to dislike dutch people. I withdraw my comment.

LOL Frans Bauer.
Grats Joz.

Ah, how can you not like Dutch people? A foreign exchange student from the Netherlands was my neighbor this semester and he's a great guy. Also, the best player on our intramural soccer (football) team!
Great job ret. I like watching your stream, this is well deserved.
