Please.. everyone is boring if thats the case. I don't think they're saying Koreans are boring, I think they're saying Korean domination is boring because they follow the western scene more, and the rest of the tournament is not exciting for them since they can't root for players they like. Don't the gameplay create exciting stuff? What do the players background have anything to do with the gameplay. In essence, people watch for the best games. I don't think you understand sports at all. i think its appropriate to use an idra quote here "its a competition, not a dating show" We're not watching for the personalities. We're watching players we know and follow, and we want them to win. A spectated competition is not about purity of gameplay or anything nonsensical like that, because most of the audience can't even grasp every intricacy of play. For a lot of people it's the excitement of rooting for their favorites. Idra's comment was about the drama surrounding esports, not the competitions themselves. I will personally enjoy any non-mirror final regardless of who's playing, but please respect people who are upset because none of the players they're fans of have a chance to win this. its a perspective thing. most people watch to look out for their favourite players, others watch just for the games and are neutral. nothing wrong about either
I completely agree that there's nothing wrong about either, I'm just trying to explain Position A to people who are in Position B.
Personally I'm somewhere in between. I think I actually want MVP to take the whole thing. Terran fighting!

I don't think you really believe that. Here's an example: let's say we take all the players out of SC 2, and replace them with AI bots capable of 40,000 APM, perfect macro, etc. Would you still watch?
Where are you going to get that many Haypros?

Is there a Code S spot for Providence? Yes. Highest ranking top 3 finisher not in Code S gets a Code S spot. So Naniwa has already earned it right? He's guarenteed top3 by being in winner's final and I can't see any non-Code S left besides him... MC isn't Code S. DRG isn't Code S. ![[image loading]](http://img.gomtv.net/img/n_net/gsl_format.jpg) I see 2 code S spots MLG only awards 1. The other comes from something else apparently.
ESV Korean Weekly is the other spot I believe.

Ye, against partly not even masters foreigners....

From the live blog thing:
"1:35: MLG: Because Naniwa and DRG are both NOT in Code S, and are both guaranteed Top 3, we will definitely be giving away a Code S spot at this tournament."
Clearly as far as MLG is concerned DRG is eligible for the code S spot so Nani has not won it yet.

Demuslim is pretty good. Hopefully he'll have success in Korea

The Code S spot will go to Naniwa or MC or DRG, who both got knocked down to Code A Huk is in code a too now Huk is out already. u dont make sense. huk is out of mlg providence, but is in code a.
This means he's not elligible for a code S seed from this MLG, which is what they're talking about.

Huk would've won the game 100% if he hadn't wasted 30 seconds fail charging on the rocks.

not really. the system rewards players who play more regularly(meaning signing up for more MLG pro circuit competitions). nothing wrong with it. its just that people oppose their supposed ideology of rewarding hard work(referring to competing regularly in MLG events) bla bla.

GSL SPOILERS + Show Spoiler +Leenock is guaranteed one, since he is Top 8, and so is MVP. MC and DRG only has to win one Bo3 to stay in Code S, or they fall to the Up/Down matches, where they have another chance to stay in it (might be wrong on that, though). not necessarily if DRG of MC gets above naniwa they could take the code s spot and not even have to compete in code a and whoever they were supposed to play would get into code s. personally i'd rather have that than someone who was knocked out in the Round of 48 by lucky in code s.
Yeah, this would be the perfect scenario imo. MC/DRG get code S, and their Code A opponents get a bye.
