MC wasn't trying, he was just playing for $15000 .. just another tournament.. yeah right heh. I think If Bomber and Losira lose half their matches in the MLG fanbots will still find an excuse for them. Let me guess.. jetlag!! When MC got knocked out of TSL he was flying all around the world playing in many tournaments. Being able to devote all your time practising for 1 player would definitely up their chance in the match. Obviously, they need some base skill to win the game but if you don't think it plays a big factor you would be wrong. | ||

In fact judging from how Chinese are so good are RTS games in general, (best at WC3 and best at SC1 outside of Korea), it will not surprise me if the Chinese completely dominates the SC2 scene in the future. WCG 2011 will be one of first things to come. It has to be based on results. I do believe that you can see skill outside of wins, and sometimes wins do not show skill, but at the end of the day people are going to look at results. The Chinese players can prove much by winning the LAN phase of this tournament, and if they do win WCG 2011, then I think that will definitely put China on the map with regards to SC 2. Being familiar with the Dota scene, I am certainly sympathetic to the idea that Chinese players can become the best at a competitive game, but there are reasons for why SC 2 might not be such a game. | ||

There are countless footballers (soccer) with amazing talent and ability but unless they turn that into real performances it means nothing. So when you say Chinese players are super talented it's a worthless statement, players are not good because you say they are, they are good because they win tournaments, which Chinese players have not done. So ranking them alongside a guy like MC who has won basically all there is to win in Sc2 is absurd. I reckon that people are getting riled up mostly because your initial post at the top of the previous page basically says, "Well, the Koreans could have owned the Chinese if only they (the Koreans) took this tournament seriously." Which is, no matter how you look at it, really fucking disrespectful to the Chinese. That's basically akin to me saying, "Oh, I could have gotten first chair in the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra if only I put in the practice!" Because, you know what? I didn't. (I didn't even get into the orchestra, for that matter.) But by saying otherwise, I am taking credit away from and downplaying the achievements of the people who, honest to god, fucking outplayed me during the auditions. And look, you can be as skeptical as you want to be about the Chinese - a dose of skepticism is always healthy - but I don't think it's possible to argue at this moment that the Chinese have wiped the ground with most of the foreign/Korean competition in this particular tournament. They have outplayed their opponents, and they have played remarkably well, for the most part. Even without looking at the results and coming at it from just a purely objective standpoint, I think it's quite fair to say that they are in great shape, and I, for one, can't wait for the day when they actually decide to go to the GSLs. (Or rather I should say, if they decide to go to the GSLs.) And finally, one can be a good, super-talented, skillful player without winning any tournaments. (DRG is a great example. Sure, he's in Code B, and yet he's also one of the top Zergs in Korea at the moment.) But for the most part, yes, people do look at results over anything else. | ||
