As if there were any other good americans to begin with? I'm american and hell, I'll admit the talent pool of top pro gamers is abysmal.


Come on now, Sheth and qxc are better than over half this field.

I forgot about sheth, but still, the gap between the top players and qxc is still pretty damn large.

It wasnt really close at all because idra was free to macro up the whole time. I'd doubt he'd be able to slow down the constant swarms thrown at him even with a great comp.

I sincerely hope you're referring to the not-practicing-at-school qxc and not the all-killing-korean-trained-beast qxc.

WCG USA basically had no money, so even though they held qualifiers, they told players that they would have to fly themselves over to Korea + pay $1000 registration fee. Huk decided to play for Canada since Idra was already going from the US.

WCG wouldn't pay their trip if they qualified. Only reason Idra is there is because he is living in Korea now.

WCG USA is broke, the actual winners of the qualifier didn't attend and instead idra bought his way in.
Thank God and gunrun.

WCG US couldn't afford to pay to send the US qualifiers, which Idra won.

EG eventually paid for Idra's participation on their own. The other two qualifiers (not sure who they are) couldn't afford to attend on their own.

Because of how WCG works. Every country has their own organizer that has to find sponsors by themselves, if I understood it right.

Titan did make it quite far at Dreamhack, for the haters.

ask wcg usa. Canada has 2 players but only thanks to EG who decided to sponsor HuK's trip. If it wasn't for EG idra wouldn't be there either.
