The highest finishing Korean Terran in MLG, STC, was also in IPL. The only thing IPL was missing was MC, but it had Inori, and it had Alive, and it had a couple of Korean Zergs which MLG did not. It didn't have MKP and Polt, though. Actually MLG had inori and alive too. Just no Lucky | ||

During the NHL, there's a lot of foreigners playing for Canadian and American teams because the NHL is the biggest competition for ice hockey. (And lots of Canadians playing on American teams.) However, when the teams plays for the Olympics, all the the players return to their own countries. But Canucks fans will continue seeing the Sedin twins as their own, while Sweden will see the Sedin twins as their own. Both are right. The Sedins are Canucks and play on a Canadian team. However, they are also Swedish and playing on the Canucks doesn't change where they were born. So yeah, still a foreigner. The Sedins are Örnsköldsvikare first, then Swedes (and their parents are my neighbors). :p | ||

Pretty much the only Koreans IPL had that weren't at MLG were SlayerS (other than Boxer)guys and FXO Lucky. MKP, Polt, Bomber all being at MLG makes it better. | ||

Some of the biggest problems are -Players like Incontrol constantly being seeded into the pools despite loosing all the time (no disrespect to InControl, i know hes a great guy). Basically if you place well in one of the first two MLG's, you can ride that seeding through until the end of the year. -Extended series ruining exitement -Still only bo3 in the semi finals? Are you kidding me!?!?!? The semi's should be bo5 and no extended series -A system where the grand final can be over in 2 games. What a joke... -Grand final should be bo7 no extended series. -Pathetic prize money The grand final consisted of 2 games. Both games were decided within the first 5 minutes (4 gate micro win and a failed cannon rush). This is a combination of bad maps, bad balance by blizzard and a bad tournament system by MLG. I can't stress enough how disappointing the final was for this tournament. Idra vs Bomber was true grand final in my eyes... | ||

It didn't have MKP and Polt, though. Inori and Alive were here at MLG too. Discounting players who were at both tournaments we had: Orlando: Bomber, Polt, MKP, HongUn, July IPL3: MMA, Ryung, Sleep, Lucky, Violet. 5 code S players vs 2 code S, 2 code A and 1 code B. Orlando's Korean lineup was definitely better. | ||

he was but the wind put him out first because he felt he was the best chance to get an all-kill so if anything it shows that MC was rated higher in the team than Huk, not to take anything away from Huk but having him as their ace was not based upon who was the best player on the team | ||

I'm talking about the average skill level of Koreans being about the same between the two tournaments, unless you feel that July and HongUn are much better players than Lucky and Ryung. | ||
