Line and kyrix are still around I dunno what happened to them, Line made the RO8 of WCG Korea but kyrix disappeared off the face of the earth after losing to gumiho at least there's also life who is a pretty good up and coming zerg.
Also FXO are screwed without QXC to all kill IM.
|
Sounds like some awesomeeee matches and Katu casting, aweomseeeeeeeeeee :D
|
i'm so glad Katu is casting this =D always been one of my favorite casters. I'll definitely continue to to in! ^^
|
there will be prize money for every days matchup around 200$ in total.
|
New Star HoSeo fightning

ARE U SERIOUS!?!!?!?
THAT'S FUCKING BALLER!!!
KSL is the shit man. Legit!!!
|
No Khaldor starleague this week I guess, and what a week it is too, would've loved to cast some of these games with him nonetheless. Hopefully Katu can carry the endurance flag for this coming week, some sick games in the making for sure!
|
I hope IM plays at least one of Nestea and MVP :/
|
FXO logo is so much......different ^^
well I dont complain !
Hope to see Leenocktopus owning it up again, NesTea, LosirA and Happy shouldnt be much of a problem, only MVP can beat him :D

Slayers/TSL would be great indeed. but it's great anyway
|
Is Star tale better than Prime? or does prime usually win
|
This is going to be sooo awesome!

Trust me, as a gigantic TSL fanboy, I too would like to see TSL compete in these, but these matches are fantastic nonetheless!
As far as Prize Money goes there will be a cash prize on the line of about ~$200 for each match played.

Absolutely sick! Mvp all-kill incomming!!!!

Prime is pretty good at team matches. ST has the better players overall, but somehow Prime always plays well in team leagues.

This is so sick :D I'll watch for sure.

This is FXO that was formerly fOu, not the international division of FXO (Which I think is just mOOnGlaDe now :/)

It's strange Prime always gets that one player who destroys everything, most of the time it's marineking (Only player to reverse all kill in SC2 by the way) like in the second round of the play offs in GSTL S1 they were pretty much screwed then creator 4 killed TSL to win the match for them infact they qualified via an all kill from booongbooong and a 3 kill from hongun. When they played startale in the GSTL they didn't rely on a one man team though so I'd favour prime.

Yeah I'm just kidding, I think losira would be key to IM winning as he could probably beat FXO's aces (Not sure about nestea anymore and Oz could take out MVP and happy) but I'd still favour FXO as losira would probably be shut down by gumiho and then I can see Oz cleaning house.

These times are so favorable for KR/EU, even with my completely insane sleep schedule I can not manage to catch any of these games. ><

Zotac Cup, almost a year ago.

why no slayers why why why?

Why does this start so late? >.< Pretty hyped though, it should be good!

T-T no SlayerS
From my understanding the point of the league is to get players and team more exposure, especially since most foreigners are really not very familiar with many of the Korean players specifically.
You will see people vote for players they know over historically better Korean players, simply because they don't know them much.
Slayers probably has the best exposure to the largest percentage of their players then any other Korean team, at least to foreigners. So I don't think they would need the spotlight as much. That being said, there are still slayers players which could benefit from it.
At least that's my completely baseless assumption on the situation.

all kill for Keen then allkill for Genius then allkill for DRG

nshoseo vs mvp wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HoSeo has such a slick logo... and ST... well its a improvement?

Strange considering Wolf left FXO months ago, but I ain't complaining

Just as I was thinking there was no more Starcraft 2 to watch for the year, thanks KSL, will be staying up late to watch.
|
aw why no slayers team or new ho seo lol
|
Zenex is still alive?
And no SlayerS definitely disappointing, I wonder why...

I reckon they're pretty similar tbh. Both sides have a couple of top notch players who can really carry the day for them, and they have a number of lesser players who can ruin someones good run too.
I'll be interested to see if there's any chance we see Byun yet or if he's still blacklisted by Prime from events till sometime in the new year, from ladder he's supposed to be playing beastmode lately =/

Happy to see Wolf + Unstable reunite for some casting <3

The return of Wolfstable
Remind of code A from some months ago.

That was such a crazy series, can't believe more people aren't watching...

This. But only the DRG part. DRG DRG DRG!.
We need some more "tasteless/day9" voices in the caster lineup. I do not mean their personalities or casting styles, just that raspy manly voice that accompanies all of their casts. artosis,wolf, doa all have a softer voice and i'd love to see a caster with a heavier deeper sounding voice accompany these casts.
