is anyone else slightly put off by the esports community supporting wcg being hosted in china, in light of the atrocities they've committed towards the people of tibet? they've all but destroyed tibets cultural heritage, destroying monastaries and burning religious texts, imprisoning buddhist monks. and now the world chooses to just look the other way as if it never happened, allowing the olympic games to be hosted there, among countless other things.

If you seriously want to talk politics, then you'll just get assraped. You have no right to bring up politics in something like this. There are tons of terrible things going on in the world. You don't have a fair shot at any dialog whatsoever.

What you should be looking at, is that this is the same Chinese government that has started to promote eSports in China. As in the government of the Republic of China is putting money into eSports. No other country has done that. I am very well going to support the Chinese players, as well as Chinese eSports, and I would very much love to attend a WCG in China. The last one was so fantastic that the players found it difficult to even be able to handle the massive amount of fans they had. The scene was just too mind blowingly amazing. Even lower tier pros had people run up to them, recognize them, and ask them for autographs.

I hope XiGua takes 1st, and F91 can make top 4.
MacSed will probably lose, but it's awesome that we had all 3 Chinese competitors make it to single elimination ^_^

yeah please listen to this guy and go back to sleep. your actions have no consequences, so please continue to support organizations that give credence to fascist states by bringing commerce to their country.

Am I the only one who also sees a bit of jjakji?
Or perhaps the other way around, since jjakji is younger...

Because the winner takes the laptop that's being used.

just playing on a different keyboard is enough to make my own play suffer a lot, but laptop keyboards are even worse not to mention they are probably different than what they are used to. im so confused.
