EPT[NASL] Players (final) - Page 29
| Forum Index > StarCraft 2 Tournaments |
Players such as Jinro, HuK, and Adelscott did not apply for this tour, so don't ask why they aren't on this list. DIMAGA, Kas, and LaLush turned applications in late so they will not appear either. Please take some time to learn who exactly applied. Please inform yourself about who applied and who didn't. | ||

Not a minor league where the quality is like comparing NBA to local high school ball. So in other words, yes lol It is a serious league. Why does every serious league have to be only korean players in it? Don't you find that boring? I mean jeez comments like these are just annoying to read its called the North american star league not Korean star league. Korean's have GSL, now we have MLG and NASL. | ||

Again, not a matter of "are you korean or not", but a matter of "are you one of the best in the world or not". It just so happens that at this point in time, most of the best players are koreans taht applied for the league | ||

*God have mercy on whoever else are the poor saps who get to round out division 5. Barring a top-tier Korean getting tossed in there, I'd say there's probably a good chance of the top 2 already being selected (Idra, Sen, Socke, and Cloud, who I hadn't heard of, but apparently has very good results in EU). Definitely heads-and-shoulders above the other divisions in strength, so far...though that could change with a few more solid additions to division 1, and assuming Fenix bounces back from a poor showing at IEM.. | ||

And nobody ever watches events like March Madness | ||

I can understand that Americans want a better chance at bagging the prize money, but personally, I want to see the best duke it out, regardless of where they are from. If Americans want to show that they are world class, they need to test themselves against the best and come out on top. | ||

Well 10 of the 20 players announced so far are in TSL. Its pretty safe to say even more will be invited too. Again people are judging before all 50 players are announced. No region was going to dominate the selections, including Koreans. People need to be realistic. I was expecting around 10 Koreans and it is still an easily obtainable goal. | ||

Expecting 10 Koreans after the first 20 have alrdy been announced, with only 1 Korean is kinda optimistic. They're gonna have to release groups of pure Koreans to match that goal at this point. | ||

It just so happens that at this point in time, most of the best players are koreans taht applied for the league They are inviting the best AND most interesting players players that applied... :s Not sure why anyone would expect otherwise. It's not their fault players like MKP, Nestea, MVP didn't apply. NASL can't make them and certainly can't add them to the league if they don't apply. They have to do their best to make the tournament exciting to watch. With all respect for a bunch of the koreans that applied, the majority of people aren't gonna get hyped up for oGsTheWind vs SlayerSFrozen, even if they are in the top50 of the applicants. They wanna see the majority of the western scene testing their skills against the top koreans. Not average koreans because some of the top players didn't apply. I wouldn't mind having up to 10-15 koreans if it's the very top CodeS players, but they didn't join. I'd prefer the remaining spots to be taken up by the top western players instead of second tier koreans. I'm positive players like Nada, Boxer, MC and July are gonna get in, both because they are top level players and because they would draw a large crowd. At least you are in no position to whine about them not getting in before everything has been announced. I realise it's all a matter of opinion, so we'll never agree. I DO however know that making conclusions when they haven't even announced half the players yet is just plain stupid. At least hold back your shitstorms untill you know what you are whining about. | ||

It's funny, when a foreigner beat a Korean it's because they are bad and when they lose to lower ranked Koreans (Ace Squirtle) it proves without a shadow of a doubt that the Korean scene is miles higher than everyone else. You can't have it both ways. | ||

On topic or off I agree with adicted's response completely. but still many people act like everybody in code S is lightyears ahead of every foreigner, yet 3 out of 4 code S players lost in ro32 so far. The gap is not nearly as bad as some in here make it. Somewhere in between 8 to 12 koreans is totally fine. It serves the purpose of having a decent amount of foreigner/korean matches, whilst still keeping it a foreign league. | ||

Honestly I don't think Artosis deserves a spot. I'd watch him do anything in the world but I don't think he's skilled enough atm to compete with the best in the world. If he gets accepted then it will confirm my suspicion that NASL is picking people that are fan favorites/interesting people over people with the most skill. but still many people act like everybody in code S is lightyears ahead of every foreigner, yet 3 out of 4 code S players lost in ro32 so far.

Huk: I think we all understand Huk's PvP isn't exactly the best and he barely managed to get into code S as it is. Jinro: Got baneling busted all 3 games and the one time it didn't work Jinro won. Not to take away from Morrow's skill but cmon. | ||

Plus the NASL is giving this foreigners a reason to practice like they never have before. | ||
