So Idra made 3rd, Effort was CJ's ace but disqualified. Conclusion, Idra deserves a regular post in CJ's lineup. | ||

I don't think anybody is arguing this is the biggest, most earth-shattering event in SC history. But upsets are always amusing. And with WCG around the corner there might be more. No more. No less. | ||

Given how the landscape looks currently, the foreigners shouldn't be able to beat the progamers at all if they play seriously. There simply should be too much of a difference for that to be possible. And if the programers play less seriously, like they would at a tournament like IEF, the best foreigners should be able to beat them maybe one in twenty games. The assumption above is kind of shaken by Koreans losing one fourth of all their games at this event. I think many peole enjoy the fact that the Koreans are good, and unimpressive foreigners beating them just seems wrong. It certainly makes the Korean scene seem less glamourous. The Chinese, to my knowledge, aren't better than the top10 foreigners, so that shouldn't be what's making the difference. So, yes, it is quite a big deal. Exciting and terrifying at the same time. I was really hoping that Boxer, like Savior, could use this tournament as a change to showcases his raw skills, just like Savior has done well in foreign tournaments. It should seem obvious that even if Boxer's skill is below average programers at the moment, it should still be miles away from the foreigners, allowing him to have the surplus to show us a bit of his magic and create some fun games. In the end, it would be good to have foreigners on the same level as the Koreans as it would create a better international scene and, of course, make for more great games. It's just that at the moment the foreigners aren't good, so that hasn't really changed. The great part is that the Koreans will take WCG more seriously. However, most likely, then it will only be a repeat of last year. Still, I enjoyed some of the one-sided game, liking how it exposed an entirely different way of relating to the mechanics of the game between foreigners and the best Koreans. | ||
