Check is a Korean pro-gamer. He is quite famous in the WC 3 scene, and considering that some of the best SC 2 players in the US/EU are WC 3 players (ie Lucifron), there's no reason for dissing him. Idra is very good. He might have lost to Euros in the past but recently he has really upped his game. Don't underestimate him and, by extension, Check. | ||

For Korea, though, they picked top ladder players. | ||

Besides that we are far from knowing if Korea will rape in SC2 like it did in SC2, I myself believe it will be closer to what WC3 was like, Koreans having more good players than the average country but still foreigners being able to take games any day of the week. SC2 will also be a lot bigger than any other game has ever been outside of Korea so there'll be plenty of motivation for people to practice like the Koreans do. | ||

Zerg is the most popular race in asia afaik. because they players have found the "skill" of larva abuse. edit: although I guess these current rosters don't speak for that. =P | ||

I don't think it's a joke at all. Every single aspect of the Idra vs. Check game was well-played. Check lost because his build was worse, but he optimized what he did to such an extent that it could've went bad for Idra had Idra made one small mistake. Also, in the CHN vs. KOR show matches yesterday, lag was a huge factor and that's part of the reason micro wasn't nearly as good from both parties. You saw some of this today in the Tasteless vs Susiria game, as well, where Susiria couldn't micro his banshees because of the lag and so couldn't hold Tasteless's immortal push. IMO, you need to watch more Asian games before you make wild sweeping generalizations. Try the China Hero tourney thread, which was played under much better conditions. Check was in that, also, plus another top Korean Zerg, Freedom. | ||

The Chinese Player are IMHO the best in the world right now, maybe it doesn't show in those showmatches, but they have the most solid builds and incredibly good mechanics. Im sure asian players like Beckham, TT1, F91, IntotheRainbow, Loner, Freedom, Ace, Super etc. are and will be the players to beat in SC2, at least for the time being. Btw. Idra is just a solid player and if you play a straight-up macro-game against him, you're in for trouble, don't try and deny that Idra is incredibly good... All the haters and whiners in here should just stop talking BS and hate on players that are infinitely better then they are themselves. | ||

I was playing WC3 quite a lot and I was watching a lot of replays and VoD's, but I have to say, it's nothing compared to SC1 as a spectator-sport, but to be fair, SC1 is also a way better spectator-sport than SC2, at least atm. But as a Fan and player of all the Blizzard-RTS-games, I enjoy watching WC3 from time to time, especially with extremely good palyers like Grubby, ReMinD, Infi, Sky, TeD, TH000 etc. Too bad boesthius doesn't stream WC3, cuz you can watch MSL on two other streams but noone streams the WC3-matches... :S | ||

I don't know that much about Susirua and EVE (they were WC3-Pros and from what I know about KOR-WC3-players, they all played SC1, probably much more than most of the ppl in here thinking they're the shit in SC1 ever did), but Check is incredibly good, trains for 15+ hours a day and has easily over 2000 Games in the beta so far.

"The Chinese Player are IMHO the best in the world right now, maybe it doesn't show in those showmatches, but they have the most solid builds and incredibly good mechanics." wow thats idiotic. the best when they havent played against the others yet. "they are imho the best because they have most solid builds".laughable. when i start reading your post i was thinking myself you would have a clue but i changed my mind. was quatscht du da eigentlich für einen Unsinn?Ernsthaft. | ||
