Gonna be a great tournament - although I think only MaNa, elfi, and Sjow stand a chance against the Dong, I'll still be rooting for them!

Very well written article, thank you. Was rather interesting reading up about IEM NY, which made me all the more excited for this event. Well done to Pokebunny for being such a good player, I really liked his interview and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Not a lot of tournament runners are willing to comment on the size of their players' balls. I commend that attitude.

All that I'd heard about Pokebunny seems to be true - very realistic and mature outlook on life; will be exciting to see how he does

Thanks. Nice read!

BUT I don't like that:
I'm not ignoring IEM Guangzhou or IPL3, but we have to be objective about the situation here. Foreigners* still haven't won a tournament against top class Korean professionals.

There are two top koreans: MVP and NesTea. All of the others are around the same level (Ryung, DRG, MMA ...). It's not Stephano's fault that MVP and NesTea weren't at IPL. Don't talk this victory down. There were a lot of awesome players from korea who didn't manage do win this tournament. I don't know why in almost every TL article the writer has to say something like "yeah, nice win BUT we all know it wasn't that hard..."

I would like to see more: "Yeah, after the great success of the foreign world in IPL we will maybe have another tournament without a korean winner because Mana (or other players) is a boss and had already shown his skills vs korean!"

Don't get me wrong, great article but I would love to see more positive vibe.


and the joke is, that both mvp and nestea got beaten by dimaga
its funny so many people live in their fantasy broodwar world, this is sc2 and here the absolut top none koreans can beat the top koreans, even if their chances are small to win they still can



Fact

NesTea-Dimaga 2-2
Mvp beat Dimaga with 30 min macro but suddenly computer dropped
(even Dimaga himself confessed that actually he lost to mvp in that game)

What? What? What? Your hero DRG just loose!?!?!?! And Strelok took a game out of him?
I am glad to see that even the non top foreigners can beat top Koreans!
I say that to those who think that korean have some more than just plenty of practice time!

I hope to see more and more foregneirs becoming far better than Korean in the near future!!!
Go foreigners!!! Go!!!

Stephano had a very convincing win at IPL3, even with so many strong koreans.
He did actually beat MMA in the qualifier as well, but w/e

Sorry but I am actually confused, so confused I had to sign in to make sure somebody mentioned this before I read all the comments...

HOW were there NO TOP KOREANS in IPL 3?

MMA and Ryung are both in code S.

And they both got taken out btw IPL obviously had a ton of talent but those were the only two in code S at the time. And another thing is that MMA is in Ro4 right now sooo. I mean DRG hasn't done shit in code S and top is an all around great player but not significantly better than MMA and not better at tvt than ryung from what I can see. Soo I believe you point isn't valid.

It's quite ridiculous to hear that now Puma, MMA, Ryung and MC are not top class Koreans and TOP actually is. WTF? I don't rate Puma too high, but TOP is much worse than even him, IMO. And he certainly doesn't compare to his teammate MC, and may be even TheSTC.

It's getting ridiculous how some downplay foreigners achievements and go over the top with the praise of Koreans on here. Truly ridiculous.

Looks they were strategic about how it is running with MLG. I'm looking at the two friday schedules, MLG starts at 5 EST while IEM NYC has its last game starting at 5;30, and the finals are hours apart. Did the best they could I think, thanks guys. + Show Spoiler +
Also, awesome tourny thus far! Some might complain about the unorthodox play but I'm loving the unpredictability of these match ups.
(not sure if that's really a spoiler but w/e better safe than sorry, right?)

To say (Z)Stephano vs. (T)MMA would've been interesting iS as ridicules as saying watching paint dry or grass would is interesting. (T)MMA would've absolutely without a doubt have wrecked (Z)Stephano not letting him win a game. None of the games would've gone over 13-15mins. So I do believe that statement made there is completely and utterly false.
