I really hate how during TSL the foreign community was fast to dismiss and pretty quick to dis-acknowledge the issue of lag in cross realm play and how it could have adversely affected the Korean stars' gameplay. Instead, a lot of our European (those Swedes . . ) jumped to the conclusion that EU > KR.

Now the foreigners are pretty quick to jump to the conclusion that "oh the Chinese are doing well because they have lag advantage" (which is actually a flat out lie)

Hmm . . quite the double standard here.

The Koreans (for the most part) played like crap in the TSL. The Chinese played amazingly in Starswar. The foreign community needs to stop being so pathetic.

Well, it's not really a double standard because both sides of the issues have been discussed in the TSL as well. Fans of any sport are quick to find reasons or excuses for why their favorite players win or lose games.

The Koreans lost in TSL 3 because:
(1a) The Koreans played like crap for whatever reason
(1b) Lag issues caused crappy play
(2) The foreigners played amazing

The foreigners and Koreans lost to the Chinese in StarsWar 6 because:
(1a) The foreigners and Koreans played like crap for whatever reason
(1b) Lag Issues caused crappy play
(2) The Chinese played amazing

It could be true that lag may affect play slightly, but having that as a reason to belittle the achievements of winning/(hopefully) deserving players is absolutely wrong.

Hasn't it been said several times that for StarsWars the servers being played on depended on where the players were and what the players wanted? If I recall it was a pretty flexible system, as sometimes they would alternate servers or play on the same one if there's not much lag between the servers and both players agree. Correct me if I'm wrong though, as I'm a bit tipsy atm.

Genius forfeited the starwars tournament because of lag, and some other koreans said there was.
About TSL, cross-server will always make random results

So I'm guessing the finals will be this weekend or beginning of next week? Hopefully the players get flown in early so no jet-lag!+ Show Spoiler +

Look at that bracket; read those names, and explain why this tournament is not the #1 trending topic on twitter right now! This tournament has shown some insane matchups like ST_Ace vs oGsMC, TLO vs HongUn, HuK vs MorroW, Sen vs Ace, San vs Ret as well as players like MKP, Boxer, White-Ra and many many more. The best part about this tournament is that it showcases some of the incredible Chinese talent with players such as Lovecd and Lovett proving they can tangle with the best in the world. However, no matchup can be more anticipated than one that is happening in less than a week!



IdrA is one of, if not the best zerg and xiaOt is considered the best Chinese player; i am super excited for this series, especially to see how IdrA approaches this ZvP with supposedly a top class player. Hoping IdrA can win it - but it should be awesome! TL.net needs to hype this up way more than it is right now, this is a great matchup!

To put it into some perspective; to get to this place in the finals xiaOt has beaten..

Here is a little information on xiaOt;
