Why are they bringing these top koreans? Honestly, i like MC but its boring to watch him dominate like this. IMHO they should bring out medium level code S players like Coca,clide,alive,alicia etc.

Only few foreigners can beat top koreans, and only in certain matchups in series not longer than bo3 and on a good day

note: dont say puma isnt code s quality pls, he obviously is

You don't want the best players involved? O.o
Foreigners arn't going to get better if they arn't pushed into it by being crushed.

Let me put it this way, do u want to watch 2 grandmaster vs gold games just to be able to watch grandmaster vs grandmaster finals. Im obviously exaggerating

Arguably the most exciting thing in the foreigner SC2 scene right now is an underdog foreign white dude topple a Korean. If either foreigners actually did by any stretch manage to take out their Korean opponent, it would fulfill someone's fantasy because of the how nationalistic everyone is about this game's tournament scene.

This tournament format seems a little bit dated to me. I understand that during these tournaments sponsored by large corporations they have to show lots of different games and lots of advertisements, but it really hurts the viewer experience. I think the long-ish breaks are fine, its tough to really prevent them altogether at a live tourney, but when there is mixed content on a stream it really gets confusing and hurts the viewer count I think.

Perhaps thats the reason why it feels dated.

Foreigner protoss always seem so passive. MC basically figured out mana isn't going to attack him so he gets his expo earlier every time and he looked so comfortable that entire game. Easy to outmetagame someone like that



If mana attacked in Mc could stop mana with perfect ffs and micro, but of course that is super hard to do.
It is simple, Mc won the mind game and he is more confident about his skills than his opponents as usual.

I can't believe people say that Stephano and mana beating puma means that the gap between Koreans is not large and that mana would surely won again vs Puma and take the whole tournament and that Nerchio is good enough for GSL finals!

The attitude of 'we won a few games, we can be proud of ourselves that we took 3rd instead of 7th' is just the complete wrong attitude. Making excuses such as 'MC blink luck, puma stim luck, puma luck not facing mana, Socke unlucky...' gets old quickly and instead you should be asking, why did MC and Puma 6-0 there way through their games, with not 1 game being close except game 1 vs mana (with there being 0% to lose, unless lose army).

That makes zero sense. Puma got to the finals, Mana didn't. It's a pretty straightforward concept.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

I think he meant like a Winners finals (MC vs Puma), and a 2nd, 3rd placing (Puma vs MaNa)
which doesn't make sense.
