Until more Chinese players come out to more events and show their skill, you can't just make that assertion. You're making assumptions that have YET to come true by saying "eventually" and then making your rankings based off of future predictions. Search the KR ladder and count how many CN players are in the top 200. I think JesusOurSaviour has given a few couple of post above. They might not have more exposure than the NA EU guys(Due to sponsorship i assume), but that doesnt mean the standard of their play is lower. LIke i said, the majority of ppl who still think CN is a weak server are mainly from NA and EU. There are some CN players who are on par or even better than ppl like Idra/Huk. The SEA players knows that, the KR/TW players knows from playing with them on the ladder everyday. As for the future predictions, which Blizzard RTS game doesnt end up with KR > Chinese > The rest? | ||

Same system used for GSL. The quality your're referring to is the exact same quality as WCG broadcasted. The vods are just capture of the stream footage. Nothing more. | ||

Surely GOM could make the vod system better (aka not removing the schedule, but that is a critique about their new site and not wcg), I am only talking about the WCG in my post | ||

Vague schedule, few games (Bo1 groups, Bo3 semis and finals), fewer broadcasted games, really poor video quality. To be fair, I guess the point of WCG is to gather players from all over the world to represent their countries, not necessarily to show off the best of the best, so I guess it doesn't matter as much as if it were trying to be a major SC2 tournament like GSL or MLG. I was just a bit surprised. | ||

The korean stream had 720p HD quality, and the production of ongamenet is by far the best of any SC2 tourament by far. | ||

I thought that Xigua played very good Zerg, but I was just in awe at MVP's play! His multitasking, even when he lost his middle Planetary Fortress, was just mind-blowing. He didn't skip a beat, he didn't seem shaken at all - if anything, it seemed to really kick him into high gear, and he just started doing a million things at once. It was CRAZY. I got Slayers Boxer-esque shivers watching that. I found it very exciting to watch . | ||

Mvp had 29 ghosts including those 21 ghost + another 5 ghost in that rectangular one + 2 in upper right side and + 1 ghost nuking in 11 direction. His macro and decision making in that game 2 was just beyond the imagination... the best game in my life! | ||
