[Editor's note: The writer must really hate aLive]

Unfortunately for Alive, he's found himself in a group with 2 tvt masters. His tvt isn't bad either, probably being his best matchup, but probably not enough to advance from this group.

Polt and Ryung advance

How does this prove this at all?

I'm so tired of the Korean argument, quit generalizing things and start talking about individuals.
The games of scarlet and hero were really close, and suppy beat revival in one series...



He is right though. I cant envison any player from the Americas winning a big tournament anytime soon :/



American players beat Korean plays all the time. I personally don't care if American players win or lose, I just don't see why everyone needs to go to that argument. I don't think most players can touch Hero, I mean look at what he did in proleague in that TvP recently.. Proxy 2 nexus.

There really isn't that many godly players right now anyways, maybe a handful.

Theogns 2-0 jaedong for gods sake.


I do feel bad for suppy though, that was a pretty brutal way to get knocked out.


Taking games or even series from koreas is pretty fucking far from winning a big tournament.

In SC2 most pros are capable of taking games of anyone.

Well to be frank i can't envision anyone other then koreans winning a big tournament , unless only third tear koreans play in it , then top foreigners have a chance .

last year wcs there were many players from america, now there arent any...


That's because the american players weren't able to get in their own region due to MLG mlg spots being full and allowing koreans in.

Moonglade and Snute are still in--the rest are koreans though. 6 Koreans 2 non-koreans isn't that bad tbh, that's the type of ratio we normally see!



Yeah, but still.. This is an AMERICAN Qualifier and still I see no Americans in there, not anymore at least. This should be fixed to next season.
I have no good quote to add

I'm so sad that Suppy lost

Hopefully next year after a year on a professional team he'll be able to take the throne!

If the Ro8 is decided WCS Korea style we could have a HerO vs Polt Ro8 match.

Get over the semantics because it's rubbish. The American/European/Korean thing in the title means nothing. There aren't regions. Blizzard made it that way and you shouldn't treat them as such. Every player has the right to play in whatever qualifier they want so don't read too much in the names. Seriously end the xenophobia when there is no reason for it. It's just another qualifier like MLG Anaheim, DH Stockholm, etc. The players have every right to earn points and get a seed where ever the heck they want. The system shouldn't be compared to the one like last year.

The best anti-argument are better North-American results, of which when pooled with Korean players, there haven't been.

They are great players, but their priority sets are different and hence not nearly as strong as the Korean. I mean, Suppy goes to University no?

Being a "pro" gamer just isnt the same for most foreign players. Instead of relying on results, the rely on streaming more than not and their practice time is stifled by commitments (like university) to future projects rather than simply the current (starcraft2).

Bummed about Suppy and Scarlett. Really thought at least one of them had a chance against Revival.

HerO was a no-brainer.
