Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

The korean players also have contracts making money so they just have to focus on sc2, their houses are insane and have own chefs and everything..pretty amazing.

IMO the Koreans aren't dominating enough, they shouldn't lose a game EVER.
^lol you clearly do not understand the game very well. Even IDRA said that there it is very difficult to completely dominate the game as a player with near perfect consistency. And yet, the Koreans are showing that they are a cut above the rest. Don't be mad at me be mad at the stats
Korea fighting!!!!!!
yea but you're a fool. It's cool that you are a proud Korean but your arrogance is off-putting. It's like watching Brock Lesnar beat the crap out of a young heavyweight with far less experience in mma and rubbing in the inevitable beat down in everyone's faces.
Koreans aren't better because of their ethnicity...they aren't special outside of their great and fortunate environment that they are exposed to. If Non-Koreans could afford team houses and to be able to practice 60+ hrs a week then there would be ZERO difference in skill.
holy shit, you'd be a buzzkill to watch the olympics with
Until someone can show me a report where it proves that Koreans have some kind of unique gene specific to their ethnicity that makes them better than non-Koreans at playing sc2 (hand speed/multi-tasking/reaction time) than the skill gap between them and others around the world is due to a unique environment. Starcraft is huge in South Korea. It is big money over there thus Koreans can grow up practicing because being a pro gamer is a more viable career than anywhere else in the world. The more hours you put into something the better you become generally speaking. They say it takes 10,000 hrs till someone becomes an expert in whatever endeavor they undertake. I guarantee you that on average Koreans are closer to that mark then their foreign colleagues. Being able to practice for far more hours with similarly excellently skilled players will make you better on average than those who don't. This is all common sense. So all the denial and gloating is foolish.

Uh there are non-Koreans who live in team houses and can practice as much as they want.
alot of it has to come down to dedication also tho. You dont turn on korean streams and see them playing custom games or ffas.
Well, you can also tell your parents that your a pro-Gamer and they won't say, "WTF is that?"
because parents look down on training and prefer that their kids play FFAs or custom games
"WTF are you doing practicing that build order?! you've been doing that ALL DAY! PLAY A FUCKING CUSTOM GAME OR YOU'RE GROUNDED!"
Get in your basement and practice your 1 rax FE another 100 times or you won't get any more rice for breakfast tomorrow!
MORE AIUR CHEF SO YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOUSE AND ITS DOINGS.

if i recall correctly, they couldn't do Street Fighter b/c of legal issues. I think MvC3 is considered bad. And when I went to Dallas in 2010, they had tekken, but again probably not streamed.

He didn't. This is loser brackets.
How is this losers bracket? TLO is already in the championship bracket.
Championship losers. Championship is double elim but those who got in through open losers are auto put in the losers bracket
so who he lost to? isn't he seeded vs KawaiiRice from being 6th in pool?

What the fuck!?
It looked like a window on the roof got damage, part of the convention center (outside where everything is setup) was flooded.
Also, a few blocks away from the convention center lost power during the games, so it was pretty close to being really hairy. I'm sure they have generators, but I dont know that they could support all the electricity being used in that room.
