I think the lack of Koreans will mean next to nothing this tournament. Almost every big-name foreign player is here, and it's going to be a blast. | ||

Not having at least a single top-tier terran kind of invalidates the tournament as a whole. And yes, Select and Sjow aren't bad by any measure, but let's not kid around either, while Select's control is meticulous, his macro can be lacking at times and overly reliant on gimmicky strategies. Sjow on the other hand has the strategy part down, but is lacking in execution. Ah well, I have a free weekend so I'll be watching nonetheless. Hoping for Select to exceed expectations and for Sjow to get rid of Idra in the first round. So much less spam in the LR thread that way ;p. There are players who beat the likes of Bomber in MLG just recently and who are in code S. It doesn't have a GSL winner, but that's just about it. Select is as good as other code B terrans like Puma.. | ||

You either invite a super high level player, which makes the tournament pointless as we know who's going to win 99% of the time, or you invite a mediocre player just for the sake of people who'll go "waaaaaah no koreans no tastosis no watchy" | ||

It's not just championship matches where Stephano beat Lucky 4-0 or HuK beat MC 2-0. It's Ret trampling all over aLive, it's Gatored beating DRG and 3-0'ing TOP, it's DIMAGA crushing Rain and JYP, it's Idra beating Boxer, HongUn, and MOTHERF***ING BOMBER. lol that got me so hype! damn excited for this event. nice preview wax. TL always delivers with this kind of content. | ||

Huk Select Idra White-Ra Select then pulls the tournament upset and defeats Huk in the semis. while White-Ra's warp prisms cause the Gracken endless frustration, causing White-Ra to win a close 3-2. Select then comes out Marauders and EMPs a blazing defeating White-Ra in the finals. Honestly really pulling for Select though, especially if korea has continued to help him iron out his macro issues while allowing him to keep up his aggression. | ||
