I think it's because it's because his team is sponsored by Razer (the ones around his neck), but he prefers using another brand for actual playing. Or he wants to set a new fashion trend D

If Sc2 explodes in China, that will be the end of Korean domination... I really hope the Chinese get serious about Sc2 instead of LoL or Dota.. Honestly i just don't get those games... I like games with humans vs Insectoid race vs Advanced technological race.


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

He definitely was thinking Sky & Co. heisting Korean domination in WC3 days. Though Grubby was bonjwa in that game, Koreans, by and large, were the dominant force prior to Sky's surprise WCG win.


Korea still never took WC3 seriously, at least not like BW. The situation was made even worse with the map incident. I really don't see how China will "suddenly" overtake Korea in dominance when all the potential talent isn't even playing SC2 and Korea has hundreds of professionals in both BW/SC2.

If China ever dominates it would not just be because the game blew up there but because the game died in Korea.


it's not like korea is taking sc2 seriously.

the talent in sc2 is pretty damn mediocre, especially when you see full time team house pros like supernova and mkp getting manhandled by europeans who mainly play ladder.


Koreans not taking SC2 seriously? Well then Current BW pros must not have been upgrading computers or anything in anticipation of possibly switching over to SC2. They'd only do that if they were taking SC2 seriously.

What? They aren't because they actually haven't switched yet. You think half ass practicing in your spare time is taking it seriously? Some people are seriously deluded here, but SC2 is not as competitive as SC1. Once SC1 players switch everyone currently will have to work twice as hard and train much harder than they ever have before. The SC2 training regimen in Korea is nothing like the SC1 training. I'm not trying to bring up a SC1 vs. SC2 argument here, but once people see other people training even harder that's when shit gets tough and weaker amateurs will get weeded out.

Koreans train hard as it is, but you haven't seen anything yet. Foreigners will have to be 100% dedicated to sc2 as well.


So current BW pros have been playing BW instead of playing SC2 professionally. Do you really think that's a surprise?

But many MANY BW B-teamers ARE taking SC2 seriously, and they're doing quite well. A year ago do you think anyone would predict that BW pros would even give SC2 a try? Whatever, downtime in between games sucks, but ignorance is running rampant. Just because Flash hasn't quit BW for SC2, doesn't mean Korea has no supporters of SC2.

Gogogo Kas!

Lol, trust me, former BW pros have it MUCH more lax in SC2 than it was in SC1. Read forgg's interview. They're working hard, but not as hard as they can or were used to.

this tournament makes me realize more how much i hate mirrors in sc2

the bottom half of the ro16 is all fricken mirror matchups

losers bracket greatly helps to remove the lameness of mirrors giving people a second chance to try and get to the finals


i honestly think tournaments would be better if all the seeds were manipulated to prevent mirror matchups (if possible) then any mirrors that must exist are randomly chosen who gets them. looking at all the matches, it would be possible to manipulate the bracket at every level to remove mirrors. some people might feel its not fair to the players who enjoy mirrors, i say heck its more fair but i guess its all opinions

Huk lost to Kas, how is that an excuse?


He's talking about how if MVP beats Kas. Ppl can argue that MVP had the advantage cause he can hear the KR casters

Both headphones are Razer. But I suppose the logo is more visible on the green head (neck) phones.
