Considering that the foreigners here are the best of the best, I'd rather have seen no Koreans than Koreans who aren't also the best of the best.

Although Ace, Squirtle, and Moon are great players and have good chances of winning, I don't feel like they represent Korea the way the rest of the players represent their country. Not trying to be too negative, it'll still be a great tournament, it just doesn't feel like a "world championship" without players like MVP and NesTea who have good cases for being the best in the world.

Morrow doesn't stand a chance vs Idra, to be kind. Ret is worse than Idra and Ret dominated Morrow's face 2 weeks ago.


The way i see it, Ret simply won because hes build was better. He only needed to get roaches out and that's it. There was not much of effort done for the wins. One game where Ret didn't open with the same build he lost. Morrow just microed better and won that game.



Ret was better. Morrow glided through the easier side of the bracket and hit a brick wall in the Finals. His ZvZ wasn't bad, it was awful. Ret was a quantum leap ahead of him in the metagame.

What kind of argument is that anyway? "It's just that his build was better"? This game is 90% having "a better build", adapting to your enemy and being solid like Ret is.


My argument is, Morrow seemed to be better when it comes to micro and macro. On assembly both were just sticking with the build they had scouted out to be best for zvz. At the end of the day Rets build was superior compared to Morrows one. There was not much adapting done in the finals lol.

Compare the brackets.


Almost every player (in Interviews) and viewer agreed that the upper half of the bracket was much stronger. So yeah, morrow had a harder way to the finals.

Had the brackets backwards in my head. Changes exactly nothing, he wasn't prepared for a top level ZvZ and it showed.

I couldn't agree more. It will be fun to watch the foreigners beat them though

What would have happened if any of the Korean invites or Moonglade did not lose their first round? Wouldn't the round of 16 conflict with this?

He wasn't prepared for ret's specific build, that's really the only thing you can say.

For example you also can't say that Tyler and Huk weren't prepared for top level PvP just because they lost to Socke.
