Sounds like NASL to me if there are no high level Koreans, and because of it, viewership was much lower in Season 2. Second, IPL Fight Club is trying to become a premier KOTH tournament, and it will not do so by excluding high level players. Guys like Sheth and Ganzi bring in viewers for IPL.

There are some foreigners that can compete with the best koreans but these players are all very busy in tournaments, I don't know if they'd have time to play in this. Either way there's no point in excluding koreans from it: sure you'll lose some viewers if it became korean-dominated, but I think the majority would watch regardless.

They've finally found a suitable opponent.. Maybe too much so. I predict that sheth with be swept or close to it 5-0 or 5-1.... 5-2 is being generous to sheth imo  . Nah but anything "could" happen so... should be some nice games.
This is by far sheth's biggest challenge in this event. If ever he were to hold the title I and many others will be shocked ;o.
|
i think it will be close because TvZ is tough with lag
|
Hopefully Sheths cold won't affect his play too much so he can show us some good games 
|
Ooo... Ganzi has good TvZ and that's Sheth's weakest matchup if I'm not mistaken. It's going to be difficult for Sheth. :O
|
The bad thing is that Ryung has already played Sheth in a TvZ and Ganzi will certainly benefit from the information / replays.
I don't know how IPL picks players for this, but it seems kind of unfair to pick a teammate of a player whom Sheth beat recently in the same matchup.

HELL YEAH~! SHETH FIGHTING!
Show dat Korean who's boss! (even though I'm Korean... American.. xD GO AMERICA~!)

You speak as if the outcome is predetermined, as if upsets don't happen. Most people thought Ryung would beat Sheth when they met. We know the outcome of that. Koreans aren't untouchable and this gives foreigners a chance to prove themselves.
If you separate high level Koreans from the rest of the field, how do you expect the field to improve? It's as if the people who've made a name for themselves are being punished for being too good.You make a name for yourself by making deep runs in tournaments. And then being invited to tourneys is the culmination of that hard work. Look at NSH_Jjakji, you can be sure he's made a name for himself and his team.
And why SlayerS instead of another team? Probably for viewers from the large fanbase. I'd imagine IPL would like to sustain themselves somehow.

I'd say Ganzi but Sheth will probably make me look like an idiot. xD. He's just doing so well these days.
