Great writeup for such a fantastic event. I hope for more of these tournaments in the future, or event just more Koreans taking on foreigners more often in tournaments.

Honestly I love these koreans vs the world matches in the GSL and TSL. I get more nerd chills from watching them than from watching any other matches.

A part of me wonders if the koreans tried their hardest though >_>. I'm not trying to discredit any of the foreigner's wins but I recall July saying/implying that some of the other korean players on the team did not try their hardest because they did not want to reveal the strategies they planned on using in the group stage.

Unfortunately though it's still too early to say who's the best, but the tournament/excitement gap at least has been closed since BW.

This whole tournament is/was really exciting; although in the end the foreigners fell to the "July factor" it was awesome to see TT1 in the first day the fact that GOMtv offered free HQ and free VODs made it even better..

Such an exciting showmatch! Thank you GOM

Article seems rather biased, but I guess this is to be expected from a foreigner website.

Pretty fun tournament overall, is this a yearly tournament?

Great tournament and congrats to both sides. I just wish G1 of Dimaga vs MVP didn't drop =( whoever would have won that would have been a lot more satisfying than the replacement game. : /

Hi, i just want to say my opinion in regard to this event. The success of the foreigners in this tournament has proved how successful esport has became, but at the same time, it shows how starcraft 2 is not as competitive as it should be (like broodwar, but let's not start another BW vs SC2 thread). Explain how the koreans, who practiced more than 12 hours a day, having proper teamates, practice house, and having an extremely competitive environment, still managed to lose 7 games to the foreigner who don't practice as much and most of them don't even have a proper team (i want to clarify what i meant is that they don't have team house and such that makes communicating much more difficult for practicing). So how were they managed to lose like that? It just shows how volatile SC2 is, even though i'm happy for the esport, but as a starcraft fan, i feel quite sad. Hopefully, they will figure this game out quickly and make it much more competive like it should be.

The WCTL was amazing. I wish the Ro16 had a 5 game series instead of a 3 game one though.

was there any prize for this korea was the world team event? I felt like the koreans did not put 100% effort into this event, they were laughing a lot and even hinted by July's interview that his teammates seem to slack off a bit. Koreans at the moment are dominating the individual event with money on the line.

nevertheless, it was a fun series to watch

Nope, there was nothing but PRIDE on the line for the team showmatch, so the Koreans ought to be thankful July saved them. It sounds awfully weak when you come out with "Yeah you won but we weren't really trying....", much better for them to win but have it be close when they aren't trying

Can't believe people kept saying that the Dimaga vs MVP game was still "up in the air." Sure, Dimaga may have come back and won, but he was at an overwhelming disadvantage to say the least.


Him being able to come back makes it completely up in the air. As all us starcraft lovers know an advantage does not always mean you win. The most entertaining games of all involve come backs!


It doesn't always mean you win, but MVP had enough of an advantage that a "fair" result would have been giving the game to MVP. MVP had like 5k minerals in the bank, killer army, and like 10+ planetaries lining the middle. He probably would have started sacking SCVs too. Able to come back? Possibly. He was still an an overwhelming disadvantage. The way the article is written just reeks of a biased perspective.

Excellent writeup, thanks. That series was amazing. I think it was the most thrilled I've ever been for an SC match. Looking forward to the next one! And it's nice to see the foreigners prove that they are easily in the same class as the top Korean pros.
