I think before people dismiss convincing wins with the excuse of "lag", they should really have some numbers to back it up or it comes across as meaningless fanboy-ism. Because his reactions times were fast. Like reaper running away from Xel Naga. In the same game Nada let his marine die at the Xel Naga. | ||

This completely ignores the point though. The point is that he lost because of lag. Whether or not Koreans prepared for the lag is irrelevant to the discussion of whether or not lag affected the Koreans' play (and was subsequently the reason they lost). Edit: it's not necessarily my view that they lost only because of lag, that's just what the point of that argument was. | ||

The reality is that latency may have been an issue, but Jinro already clarified that in a post. The bigger reality is that Kaz was significantly better today. Since I bet on NaDa winning, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Despite Kas playing like a boss, lag is definitely the only reason NaDa lost. It was totally not due to NaDa's poor decisions and subpar timings at all. | ||

Koreans knew how the games would be played when they entered. This is the stage for the TSL, these are the conditions, if you lose you lose. They'll be plenty of Korea vs World LAN tournaments before SC2 is done I'm sure. | ||

I wonder if this was something the organizers foresaw when getting this started... Yah sure Kas beat NaDa 3-0 that's great, but was that really dependent on pure skill alone? We saw what happened in WC when it was played in a LAN setting, even though that wasn't very representative of the foreigners. Also, if Kas was THAT good, there is no reason why we shouldn't know about it. There is a REASON why some are more famous and some are more underground. If the guy was good, you'd see people praising this guy and we wouldn't call this an 'upset'. But the fact is, people don't really know him, period. You can't get around that IMO and I think people are being a little too defensive of Kas. :s | ||

But u see 3 code a koreans own a top euro lan and recently dominate the gsl wc tourney. Then u have the same players from the wc tourney get crushed online? Maybe lag isnt the factor but it clearly seems like they have some issues with playing online vs lan | ||

Nada vs TLO was on the NA server as well if im not mistakened, so he knew what he was in for. and in those series he didnt seem affected by it, so its hard to think that was a big issue now No that's true and a strong point. I can't claim I know what's what, only what I think. Kas most definitely outplayed Nada today but the mistakes Nada made seem unusual for a player of his caliber (Korean or not). My only other thought might be that the earthquake in Japan affected the latency in a way that it hadn't beforehand. Overall though, the discussion doesn't really add anything unless we've got numbers to look at latency; otherwise, most of us are just making conjectures based on feelings and biases so I'll shush now. Gratz to Adelscott and Kas, looking forward to seeing them in the Ro8!! | ||

I'm amazed by Kas though, i knew he was good, but he certainly showed really solid play today. However, i also do think Nada could have played better. I'm tempted to say MC will win it now, though with the way things are going it might just be Kas, Naniwa or Thorzain  | ||
