Its funny story in Vietnam as well because we initiated the inclusion of SC and did organize the preliminary round for selection of 2 players participating in this AIG. But after that the Vietnamese organizing committee thought that it would be hard to get the good results when competing with China and Korea so they decided not to send any players. Furthermore, in Esport, we have stronger team in other categories such as FiFa and DOTA. It looks like each country has limited number of categories to send players (4 in 6 categories) I am also really surprised that countries like Singapore and Malaysia where not only SC is good but Esport in general do not join this esport competition Too bad for SC but this is also great chance for the community to meet Flash and Fantasy irl. Everyone is very excited. The stadium is also located in the place crowded with internet cafe shops (like PC bangs in Korea) so lots of nerds will join this fun. | ||

It's such a shame though, that there are only a few SC players. P/S: on a side note, Vietnam just won our first (and probably only) eSport gold medal in DotA lol | ||

Qatar players decided to give up their games against Korea after watching Flash and fantasy played. Hence, each of them got a free win (i lol'd). Source: http://starcraftvn.net/svn/showthread.php?p=70245#post70245 | ||

Xuebin plays nfs, and zheng plays fifa, and has around vs lv5 in starcraft. I've talked to the leader of the China E-sports team yesterday and he mentioned to me that they did not send F91 because they need to compress the number of players attending the matches, as a nation is only entitled to join a limited number of games, so they chose to send only players that can actually take the title. I think this kind of limitation really sucks balls. | ||

I think this is the case, the only Starcraft player from India I know is HellGuardian. It's unfortunate that India sent no-name players because I've heard they're not happy with how many medals they have so far but if they sent Break and Rulezzz, that probably would have been two more medals. Those pictures are fantastic, it looks like it was a lot of fun to hang out with Flash/fantasy. If the rest of the tournament hasn't been very good I imagine that the finals at least, will be very fun to watch (even if you're not a TvT fan) | ||

Everything about this tournament just scream out that something is wrong. You have the Koreans facing players that are worse than average, you have strange forfeits, and why the hell would India want to send worse players if they want more medals? Save expenses because the guys were going anyway? By the way, the Uzbekistani Counter-Strike doing well isn't really surprising. One of their teams have had some impressive results while facing opponents from Russia and the Baltic countries, even European opponents as well, if I remember correctly. | ||

The other countries didn't want to send players for Starcraft because they knew they would not be able to defeat the Koreans and I guess they sent their non-starcraft players into the tournament in an attempt to grab the bronze. I know Uzbekistan has had decent CS squads in the past, I was just pointing out that it was a good game because WMF slaughtered the team from Mongolia and Iran couldn't compete; I was just glad there was something decent to watch there as it sounds the Starcraft matches were not. | ||

Fantasy 2-0 Yang Zheng (Walkover) Both the Chinese players forfeited their games, again. And it's an all-korean final now, Flash vs Fantasy. As much as anyone hates TvT (or any mirror matchups for that matter), it's gonna be the best games played here. | ||

It's kind of an Olympic-like event, and eSport is one of the many categories. It's not even close to WCG, let alone being a decent Starcraft tournament because they give higher priority to the other so-called "real sports". Having said that, being a Vietnamese, I'm absolutely ashamed of how they organized this shitty event. Just an example of how fucked up it is: the idiot who is in charge of eSport at AIG doesn't even know the difference between Save Game and Save Replay in Warcraft 3, lame much? | ||
