Every year he's the most BM person in the whole online qualification process, never beats anyone good, and still thinks he's the man. Amazing. You'd think enough beatings would teach him a lesson :| | ||

It just boggles my mind that someone could lie to someone about messaging them and then expect them to want to play you at that time. Then again, I probably should have figured you would keep making dts. A pattern of not making any sense. Wow guy is a walking drama bomb :D | ||

Each of his matches has a 0-0 score but him winning which I assume means w/o if so, what a champion He probably won at least some of those games, but didn't care to input the score in a manner which shows it on the brackets. | ||

STARCRAFT 2 IS SLOWLY KILLING THEIR BW SKILLS lol Personally I think everyones skill dropped, even the lesser known players. SC1 is the type of game where if you take off a month or 2 it really shows in your game. Considering no one knew if it would even be in WCG and with SC2 coming out, all tournaments basically seizing to exist, and the game virtually dying in the foreign scene, it doesn't surprize me that it is like this. When I look at the non-korean ladder on Iccup and see that there is only 1 A- players with a 9001 rating from the USA which no one really knows who that is (or at least I don't) it really tells me that the bar has seriously been dropped this year. I could definately see TiMeStOp and other players like this making WCG National Finals and possibly World Finals not only in the US but from a variety of countries all over the world. I think WCG USA Finals will have some out of the blue competators but what I am really looking forward is to seeing all these new faces at world finals. I think it is a great thing for the individuals who have never been there before, it is a rare experience and something to be proud of and I am happy for those who get to experience it, US Finals is always a blast. Further more I absolutely love watching online players live. I think live lans are the best atmosphere for games to be played because you can really see how people take real pressure. I absolutely love watching how people take pressure. It is a beautiful thing or a horrible train-wreck of a thing and in either case is extremely entertaining. This year will definately be interesting, in all countries. And as far as SC2 ruining EG and shit goes, thats where all the money is, that is where the future is and I am going out on a limb and assuming USA will only send 1 player to grand finals and probably have a very low pay grade for the winners this year compared to previous years, it makes more financial sense (especially of their caliber) for players to go with SC2. People have more of a chance of making it huge in SC2 than in SC1 because after this wcg, there will probably be no more SC1 in WCG or other big tournaments such as TSL. Considering all the sponsorships, tournaments and other things in a game where everyone has a truley fair shot at getting good and rising above the curb of the average gamer, I don't blame anyone for investing time into SC2 aslong as they enjoy it. If you could be the next Boxer, NaDa, Flash, Bisu, Jaedong ect.... in a new exciting game or possibly be the next USA National Finalist or Champion in a game that is dead what would you choose? Simple answer imo. But in the end you just need to do what makes you happy no matter what game or w/e it is. | ||

When I said odd I was more thinking of the crazy contrast between the final four I'm not surprised... it's just funny =p on one side you have 2 of the top 3 from last year, on the other you have two guys who I've never seen in my life, one whom I had never heard of before this qualifier. In fact this final four definitely deserves a photo outlining this contrast: ![[image loading]](http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/5534/73171721397361237262311.jpg) glhf on sunday boys!  | ||
