The undisputed best NA Zerg has had a short run in multiple tournaments as summer began, but coming in as the winner can have a positive effect on his mentality. I'm not the only one that reads that and gets a bad taste in his mouth, even if it is true. I'm a fan of IdrA and he pretty much is the best American Zerg. But.. It's always been a issue of foreign vs korean to me. And I don't want foreigners to win yet, despite strongly being one of them*(I think being American qualifies). And this is why.

I mean, they have great production and all, but now I know with absolute certainty that pretty much any Code S/A Korean could easily win this. I see the immense amount of effort, practice- love for the game Code S level players show and want them to win. I hope IdrA goes all the way to the top and represents my race with pride. But my heart knows that the player who deserves to win, will, and traditionally his nemesis has earned his wins. Sorry for being slightly off topic. Just my thoughts. I look forward to the IPL none the less. | ||

You're beyond kidding yourself if you think a code A player could win this with ease. Stop comparing the IPL to code S. They aren't currently a competitor with code S!!!! They aren't trying to!!! This is a highly competitive tournament with some of the world's best players. Enjoy the competition and quit complaining. The amount of bitching going on is absurd. | ||

Half the people he beat aren't even in the GSL anymore, comparing the quality of play in the GSL back then to now and saying, "Look at his Elo from over 6 months ago" doesn't mean shit. You're comparing his Elo from then, to their Elo from now. | ||

Since there are no koreans, it gives us an opportunity to get a feel for who the best non-koreans are, as otherwise the koreans would dominate the bracket and we wouldn't get as many foreigner vs foreigner games. | ||

S1 was all NA, S2 was NA and EU, and who knows what we'll add moving forward! :D Yes, I really can't understand why people seem not able to read. This was explained since IPL 2 was announced a few months ago. | ||

Joke or not, it reminds me how people say iNcontroL is fat, when he's not. Anyone that exercises/lift weights frequently know that Geoff is a powerlifter. | ||

The amount of bitching going on is absurd. Think about it. We don't care that Code S is in Korea. Foreigners can get into Code S. That's why we said Code S instead of Korea. Think about Code S and what I highlighted. Code S. Okay done with that We don't want some of the worlds "best" players. We want the best players. It's worth tuning in even if the regular competitors for the GSL aren't in attendance, I am not ungrateful. But watch as Code A dominates all but the very best. I am happy to be surprised but this is how I see it going. 14 minutes awaaaaay.
