These guys aren't "random", they have their names in the Latin American community - which, by the way, is what matters in a latin american invitational. Maybe they aren't really top-players, but they aren't "random players thrown at the last minute". | ||

Even Catz, Major and Killer would be considered weaker players in that field, with someone like Retro being way below that. It is rather ridiculous that the prize pool and prize distribution for both the tournaments are identical given that... although it is understandable given that they're supposed to be (but just aren't) equal events in different locations. | ||

They're trying to attract a varied audience not run the most competitive tournament. Getting a couple of players from each region is the best they can do. The same can be said about WCG for brood war (and likely SC2). | ||

Just because the level is terrible that players cant take this prize pool. They're pretty good and trying to make their way for competitive gaming. Reason was a internacional player that won for many good players. The prize pool is a incetive to our cenario | ||

If it were meant to be the very best players in the world it would be 31 Koreans and Huk. Stop whining, it's meant to be the best few players from each region. | ||

Wait, are you implying that US and EU should have lower prize pool than Korea? That's what your logic suggests since Koreans skill level are definitely higher. | ||

Not to say this is about Latin American, nobody cares about how much better other regions maybe. Just like someone said up there if you think that way everyone should just stop playin and leave Starcraft 2 to the koreans. Great tournements nice to see team mates fighting in the big scene, feel sad for reason...he could have taken down Major real easy in those games. | ||

Our Spanish is kinda neutral because we can't speak like we do in Chile since is going to all latinamerica and well... we try our best. There have been good games and bad games as every tournament and that makes sense because of all the Visa issues for latinamerican countries. It's kinda hard to get to USA... Thanks everybody for the feedback. It has been a great experience to be at Blizz HQ for us and all the guys there have been very supportive. We hope to bring up the latinamerican scene and there are many players that are wandering around that weren't able to shine as the one that live in the US. KiLLeR is one of them and there are many others that will come in the future. Haters gonna hate  | ||

Let's hope that latinamerican countries start to move towards e-sport like developed countries . | ||

I'm gonna watch the english stream anyways but I was curious about the spanish stream. Yes, from Chile it seems. And with that many 'custom words' they use, its awful to watch. I watched the english stream instead  Can't handle the translation. | ||

Surprised as I may be, I must admit, that our local casters did a pretty good job under those circumstances. They didn't refrain from throwing in an English phrase here and there, but that didn't deteriorate the overall quality. People are simply used to hearing about roaches, hellions and spine crawlers, and there honestly is little merit in translating those words. Maybe you should try this approach yourself? | ||
