Don't even know why anyPro was there, and Alicia is better than San according to MC. I agree, but I believe they were placed there by their GSL points rankings: Anypro and San both did very well in the last one. Yeah, I'm aware that they were placed based on GSL points. I didn't actually mean "I don't know why anyPro was there". I just meant that rhetorically because I was talking about who I think the best 8 Koreans actually are. It's a shame that they couldn't get the best of the best Korea had and the best of the best that the World had, but I guess you need to follow a certain system...
There are a lot of other very good players ready for the world team and MMA or Alicia have not done that much in tournaments before so placing them in an all star team is not really convincing.

im sad that that it dident go very well for the swedes. But this was still the most amazing sc2 tournament to date.
Also sucks that Morrow is up against MC tomorrow. He said himself that he will probably loose, and saying that is never a good sign =( Morrow is never gonna get the credit he deserves "Banelingbust cheeser" "Reaper abuser" etc...

The thing is that MKP has looked off form ever since he lost to MVP IMO. Knocked to Up/Downs, gets totally schooled by Rainbow in the GSTL, and also got schooled by Alive in the first GSTL. Then he goes and looks terrible against Sen. At least MVP showed very strong matches in the recent GSTL.

Where have you heard this? Jinro was up very late Korean time yesterday playing 2v2s with Huk and he didn't sound sick.

And probably some more whom I don't know. Definitely 2nd best country in sc2 after korea! Really well played by sen tt1 and dimaga, all of them could easily be code s. 
I'd be so bold to say that Sweden would jump in as second.

Agreed. Huk and Jinro - I am disappoint. Moonglade didn't perform too well either.
On the other hand: WhiteRa and Dimaga had amazing performances. Just imagine the outcome of this tournament had WhiteRa beaten July on scrap station as he had all chances of doing!

Alicia San and Alicia are overrated. Bomber and Nada instead then yeah, agree. Strongly disagree that Alicia is overrated. He took out MVP, LosirA, and Nestea on various occasions. I can almost guarantee you that Alicia would beat NaDa pretty easily. Bomber looked VERY mortal against MMA and was simply picked apart by Ryung, and they're all on the same team as Alicia. SlayerS is a sick team.
Yeah, Ryung is very good as well. I still don't like many of the protoss korean players, compared to the play of their terran/zergs that is, which always look so much stronger and consistent.

Since the VODs are free, is there a way I can download them? I can't make it work by streaming, it just takes forever with my net, so I'd rather download them while sleeping and watch everything at once when I have the .flvs
Anyone can help out?

I think in overall strength Ukraine won this
I am a korean living in the USA and I've never lost an arm wrestling match.
I've won against Iranians, african/americans, and white people even when they were taller and a lot bigger bulkier then me. I've hung out with blood gangsters at one time and they thought they would win against me and when I won, they were shocked. I was 17 years old and those guys were in there 20s-30s. All these gangster guys think I am not that strong from my looks.
I think I am gifted in arm strength... but people always think I would lose cause I am skinny/average and I am average height.

Alicia Ryung and Min should replace San and July. I don't want to judge based on results, but off of playing ability from games. While I love July, he hasn't been impressive at all, and San is solid but not spectacularly good. Ryung's TvT and TvP are both extremely solid, and Min is just a macro monster with a good head for strategy. Both just qualified for Code A, btw. I don't think half of the guys on this list could do that (although, a good amount of luck is involved due to the inherent volatility of the game). :D
I agree that Ryung is really scary, but I haven't really seen his TvZ or TvP enough, though his TvT is off the hook. I only saw one game of Min so I'm pretty cautious about making any sort of determination about his skill.

wait, what? Did you watch the matches today? July is great and perhaps most important, getting better every day.

I can't stop watching the Artosis GIF on the main page.
The second he did that yesterday I knew it was a matter of time...
Great games team world, can't wait for the individual tourney!
Something tells me the Korean pros are going home to train extra hard now.

Heard it several times, Tasteless mentioned him having high temperatur in the beginning as well.

I agree. The korean team you saw today was based on GSL seaon 4 and 5 performances and points, not current form. On current form, my korean team would look like this:
1) ogsMC
2) IMMVP
3) IMNestea
4) IMLosira
5) SlayersMMA
6) ST July
7) SlayersAlicia
8) ogsSupernova

He 2-0'd Leenock when it mattered and stays in Code S, MVP would've gotten 4-0'd in up and down if it wasn't for a lucky second game vs Alicia.
I agree mvp had some decent games in GTSL though.
edit: But I still wouldn't put either of them in the top10 for now, there are much better Terrans eventhough I still think they're both a lot more talented/have much better mechanics.

Bah this is the craziest Starcraft week ever. TSL on past weekend, Korea vs World teamfight and World Championship tommorow. Then MLG should start this weekend am I correct?
Good to have at least friday without anything big on, it's just way too much action...
I love it though!

To be honest, I don't see Mvp getting very far in the next Code A tournament. He played well in team league against a few P's, but overall, his play is still lackluster at times. I think he very well could be staying in Code A, given the strength of the new influx of talent.
