Wow, such a weak description of TL's status: "Teamkill"? You seem to enjoy using harsh words towards every other person on this planet, except for anyone involved with TL. That is a bit infuriating, imo. ;oo

Why don't you shed some light on how washed up Tyler, TLO, Jinro and Hayder has become? Amazing ignorance. Except for Sheth, TL needs some fresh, young, solid players. The fact that no one ever mentions this baffles me in these post-tourney articles.

TL did collectively better than any other foreign team. So before saying someone else was "washed up", please just think about their recent performances.

Sc2 strategies have an interesting history of being developed in Europe, perfected in Korea, and used on unsuspecting Americans.

Haha that made me laugh

Thanks for this article, looking forward to next MLG.

Veryvery nice. =)

I certainly do think that ToD/Alicia should have been mentioned more thoroughly though!

Just wanted to point out there's a couple of spelling errors. One in the FXO second paragraph, and one in BoxeR's first paragraph. 'Koraen" and "brining"

Other than that, I was waiting for this all week. I'm enjoying the read, but I can't help but feel the bitter taste in my mouth when I really want to see the foreign scene improve, and I really hope it does!

ToD should definitely have been mentioned as a winner.

Enjoyable read, though.

Awesome write-up, great read. I missed that epic TvT between rain and boxer. T.T
Ah, my prediction of boxer winning it was so close...
... his run is so inspiring- makes me want to switch lol.

Also those photos at the end are awesome, I shall combine them (MMA/boxer) with my slayers wp.

Fantastic write up as usual but I just have to say that the gallery really won me over.

Please do this for every event that you cover, because I give this the Gamegene Write Up of the Year Award just for the excellent photos.

Fantastic games much respect to eP.Gimix, that dude is a boss. Also, I really hope that the foreign teams start investing in team houses it would be so beneficial I believe, perhaps even make the team houses in korea haha jk. I just hope that the koreans are always gonna just stomp the foreigners like they are right now I don't want broodwar all over again.

Excluding the Koreans, TeamLiquid had 5 players in the top 20. The closest team is Dignitas with 3 in the top 20. That goes down to 4 in the top 16 for TL and 2 for Dignitas. TLO and Haypro were both in the top 20. Huk tied with Naniwa for top foreigner position (technically above him since Naniwa didn't play their 7th/8th place matches). Ret got farther than Sheth.

I'm pretty sure TL is doing fine.
