Not suprising all the koreans made if out sofar. QXC ur right so far about those korean pro houses and korean starcraft culture being so strong that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the forign players to practice and compete at any near the same level.

Just a question of curiosity.. how did they pick HasuObs over Nerchio with the match and game ties? Whats the third tier of tiebreakers?

nevermind, it's in the live update spoiler.

With Nerchio, it was not really unlucky of him at all because he beat the two protoss that came in as replacements; not even in map score did it make a difference because he 2-0'd WhiteRa and Grubby.

Nice write up as always. As soon as Sound and Ret got replaced by two protosses I KNEW that elfi would advance.

I felt so bad for Nericho with these games. So much Z v P, I wonder if he felt as bad as Ret at the last IEM who seemed to play nothing but Z v Zs.

I noticed that too. Poor and misleading analysis of the situation by the writer.
