On top of individual medals per competition, there is a total medal tally for each nation. At the end of each WCG the nation with the most medals is crowned the champion of WCG. aha, didn't know they had an overall winner for WCG. Makes more sense now. | ||

In my opinion, someone dominating the scene like  Flash has in this day and BoxeR/NaDa switching to sc2 and the GSL are all way more important than the IP rights arguments, estro disbanding and the match fixing scandal.On December 28 2010 23:39 chogoling wrote: As a CJ fan, effort retiring was massive for me. This too, I actually forgot about this but a player like  EffOrt retiring in his prime is huge indeed. | ||

So unless Blizzard has something to say about it pro Brood War isn't going away anytime soon. | ||

As for the ranking it does make sense, stuff ranked higher is stuff that will impact eSports in the future, Boxer switching made people watch SC2 and possibly pave the way for future switch overs, the suits with Blizzard/MBC will show if BW will continue or not, and match fixing is just a huge event. | ||

However, I think it also showed that eSports is a big business, subject to the same kind of greed and corruption seen in other industries. | ||

Retiring at their prime smells like SC2, cause to moe over you have to "retire"..they could of course retire to go finish school/military but retiring so fast after winning an OSL. effort is studying to apply for univ(I think he wrote this himself on his cyworld?) forGG seems to have some sort of personal problem or crisis? since it was so sudden and he's retiring in the middle of the leagues which will probably cause legal problems, it's got to be something deeper than "quiting to study" or "quitting since I'm sick of BW." | ||

I've said this before but I think Coach Cho (CJ) was focusing too much on sniping and not enough on training solid, well-rounded players towards the end of his career. That said, he was still much, much better than Kim Dong Woo. | ||
