Hmm how Titan manage to 2-0 Nova? He is being outclassed in this PvZ Maybe because Nova's not a zerg -.- I'm guessing titan just struggles with this mu It does seem like Terrans generally have the hardest time against Protoss, Protoss have the hardest time against Zergs and Zergs have the hardest time against Terrans. not really ZvT is the closest balanced multi race matchup in SC2. Unless you're saying T is favored in it?
I'm saying that it seems that those are the most common weaknesses in players of each respective race. Not really talking about balance at all, but rather the players. There are exceptions of course, but from my observations that seems to be the case more often than not.

Not sure about that - WC 3 eSports became popular because of Sky, perhaps, but IIRC WC 3 was mainly pirated in China and that's how it reached a large audience there.
SC 2... Uh, probably won't see that happen.

Serious Question:
Does WCG only have rights to play songs from 2007 and before? It seems like they can't afford anything remotely new lol It's a lot of money you know...
I know and its a serious question. I feel like perhaps the buy the rights to one song a year and thats why we get this strange eclectic mix of music playing on stream.

What makes you think China would end Korea's dominance in SC2 when the rest of the world combined can't?

Fyi guys, mute the stream and turn on your own music if you really care that much. There isn't any reason to watch the floating wcg logo, lol..

You know we protoss were saying the exact same thing about PvZ a month or two ago.
Just sayin'

can't wait to watch mvp vs kas

There's been a small trend of Korean Terran struggling vs foreign Protoss for a while, starting with Gatored at NY I think. Maybe a bit earlier, but him 3-0'ing TOP is probably the most notable starting point.

JJakji is really good TvP, but even he'd drop games due to just the randomness of battles/forcefields/emps

Also, to be fair, Sky is ... pretty charismatic and uber-charming. He has so many fans it is scary. (He has over a million followers on a Chinese version of Twitter, and that's just on their Twitter copy.) XiGua ... not so much.

CLEARLY you're being ignorant about the situation in China. Having spent the summer working there it's obvious that SC2 is doing fine on monthly subscriptions. Especially when the standard setup in China gets updated, more young people can get to play SC2 on a proper computer.

no ill will intended. I am a bit ignorant about those games.i do understand the point is to collectively destroy the other team.. While in Sc2. the objective of the game is to kill the other player's army.

That's why Blizzard is f***ing itself over. Vavle understands that it needs the Chinese/SEA community in order for Dota 2 to reach its true potential, thus tolerating some piracy. Blizzard/Activision just doesn't get it.

Nah, Even Xigua manage to win this WCG. SC2 won't blossom in China as War3 did. There are two reason for it
1. War3 in China are 99% pirated, Chinese pay ZERO money for the game. As it is now SC2 in China cost a monthly fee(about 4USD/month) but its still keep most people away cos they are too used to free stuff.
2. When War3 came out, MMO games aren't big as they are right now. With tons of free to play MMO on the market. SC2 get a very small potion of the pie.

pretty sure that the chinese have already succeeded in 'infiltrating' free copies of sc2.
