I think IdrA can 2-0 boxer find, but I don't think Sen or Zenio will lose. | ||

EDIT: That's wrong. Both of them need to happen to keep IdrA out of the top 2. | ||

After watching MLG, it just legitimizes everything that guys like Huk, Idra and Jinro have been saying for months. Most of the 'top' North American players wouldn't stand a chance in Code A or Code S GSL. They're 'fair weather' pro's. They're just weaker overall, and only take the game half-seriously. I really hope more Koreans continue to participate in foreign tournaments, and leave the GSL all together to play the foreign circuit. It would raise the standard of play and professionalism very quickly. It might be bad for the foreign players, but great for the foreign fans and scene. I want to root for great players, not poseurs. | ||

Zenio wins and he guarantees that IdrA can't make the top 2. false... there's still next week. If sen wins 2-1 then if he goes 0-2 next week and IdrA 2-0's boxer, then Idra would be able to pass up Sen. If Zenio wins 2-1 this and next week and Idra goes 2-0 then idra passes up Zenio. 2-1 is worth 1 point, 2-0 is worth 2 points. Idra can pass both these players with 2-1's in this and/or next week. | ||

I have never seen a successful eSports scene where all the players are "foreign" to the scene itself. Does it happen in other sports? | ||

Zenio is facing painuser next week. He will get a 2-0 walkover. I guess there is no guarantee of that, but it is very very likely. If sen is 2-1 this week and 0-2 next week he will be at 9 points. IdrA (with a 2-0 next week) can reach 9 at most. Sen wins the tiebreaker (H2H match). | ||

It took a while, but both the NHL and NBA have made a concentrated effort to bring in international players, and it has widened their market significantly. Look at GSL right now. They are desperate to improve the diversity of their league, because ultimately, they know that A) there is some great non-Korean talent out there and B) having only Korean players limits their audience. It's only a problem if you believe that the Top 50 SC2 Players are all Korean ... which I don't think is true. If NASL went after the best 50 players in the world, maybe half would be Korean, but the tournament would still be awesome. | ||
