You're gonna be able to watch the Koreans friggin dominate, especially Yonghwa and Gumiho, those 2 are sick skilled, wouldn't be surprised if they are the 2 finalists.

Also:

Nerchio fightingg!

I am very interested how good the chinese players are.
For a time Loner was hyped as the best chinese player bar none
but he only showed a couple of incredibly great games
and then became pretty bad afterwards.

But with the recent chinese tournament with top players around the world
and 3 of the top 4 being chinese, that made me really curious.

Its an online tournament and MKP have not played great recently, so I think nerchio can win.

I'd love to see Nerchio vs MKP. I think he has a chance.

Good replacements btw. It's always unfortunate if someone can't make it, but you've got a solid backup plan.

I want xiaot to win, he already beat idra and mkp so he could beat all the players here.

It's a stretch to say mkp hasn't done well recently considering how few games people play in gsl and how he just came off top 4 in super tourney. MKP has lost 3 games total in the last week in gsl and gstl. Nericho lost 2 games today to ogs hero in nasl qualifers. Therefore in the span of a week, mkp has lost 3 games and nericho has lost 2 games so I guess nericho hasn't done that well recently either.

I know people always look at gsl results cause that's all there is for most koreans, but most other tournies like mlg and dreamhack have bo3 in group stages. The amount of games someone could lose in group stages of either mlg or dreamhack could equal the same amount of games lost over like 4 or 5 gsls for someone.

There's nothing that can be done about that since koreans only have gsl for an entire month but I always found it strange how people are so quick to say someone is in a slump cause they lost a few of bo3 like mvp did when he fell down to code a.

MVP was never in a true slump as he still did well in gstl after he fell to code a and then he proceeded to make the code a finals and back into code s. A true slump is sustained bad performance over a number of games, not when someone loses a few bo3s.

It is played on the NA server. Yes it is all played and casted live in one day.

That information should probably be in the OP.

MKP wins when he wants to win. When he loses it's just because he thinks he's on ladder and do silly things :D
If he takes this seriously, no one will stand a chance !

And idra forfeit a tourney to cast...wanted to comment but no, no comment.

You realize MKP holds the highest win rate on the Korean ladder that spans over 3 accounts?
If he has so much success on ladder by fooling around, I'm surprised he loses at all :O

We will need 5-6 NA accounts for the Asian players to play on the server in this tournament. We have some they can use but if anyone has a spare account they could lend just for the event that no one else is using PM me!

I'm assuming it'll be MKP, Sen, XiaOt, and either Lovecd or Lovett for the invites? Or maybe Xigua? Who's the strongest player in the TESL right now? Softball?

Hahaha.

XiGua is the best Zerg in China. Looking forward to him crushing some nerds.

None of them are on the level of the tip-top Koreans according to members from the Prime Team and a few Chinese casters/netizens, but the Chinese Protoss are definitely borderline Code S level. Same skill level as the likes of Naniwa and Huk, basically.

Amazing lineup, probably europes 2 most talented players in nerchio and sase. One of the strongest but most underrated koreans in YongHwa, and ofcourse the beastly chinese players. The americans are shit out of luck with these brackets, xiaot is gonna wreck that clown

I wonder if this is confusing people:

Saturday 2nd July
2011-07-03 08:00 KST

reading 2nd and 08 KST, but missing that it's 08 KST on the third.

Anyway, can't wait. Not sure how much I'll be able to watch given my timezone but I definitely plan on catching some!
