Carmac is the man, i hope he keeps doing his job for a looooong time.
I stand fully behind his reasoning, and his support for "the future" players.
It's the right thing to do qualifiers, so new blood can enter the scene,
as well as providing good reason for the established to keep practicing hard
and don't start slacking.

Nice writeup!

Hope some of the Chinese SC2 players do well to encourage their local scene!

On a separate note, hope IEM can host dota2 tournaments too, if you want numbers in China, dota is the way to go.

I love carmac if every big event had the attitude iem has it would be awesome. The only thing is the total prize purse going to one person thing kind of sucks but it is a necessary evil I suppose.

Supposedly, they have skilled players who have easy access to the Korean server

I thought it was Taiwan that shared the same ladder with Koreans, not mainland China?

Everywhere but SEA gets their own section

"Many apologies to SEA fans. Our SEA writer was unable to finish his segment before deadline for personal reasons."

I think jyp or revival got this, because they both have shown a lot of potential these past few months, especially jyp. Also the equation JYP and revival = korean means that korean > everybody else still works

Very interesting read, I've seen some of the Chinese players in the ESV Korean Weekly, and they have some very impressive play, can't wait to see more Chinese players come onto the scene.

YHY Zerg? He is listed as Terran everywhere else. But I guess we will find out soon which race he really plays.

I'm like 99.99% sure he's Z and I even asked my contact in China and he said he's Z.
