You also conveniently this fact: Koreans typically perform more dominantly against foreigners in LAN tournaments than they do in online tournaments (obviously, I don't literally mean LAN, I just mean tournaments like MLG, IEM, or the GSL where players are in the same room and are thus on the same server). This trend has continued long enough for it to not be a coincidence: Lag is indeed a factor, and you can complain all you want about how it takes away from foreigner wins, but, hey, that's actually how it is, and if you don't want to accept it, then that's just too bad for you. With that said, Vile still made it quite a bit closer than I expected - when I saw Gumiho vs. State with the score 3-0, I expected a 5-0 sweep, but State and Illusion played very well. This + we knew it wouldn't be a clean sweep because Vile are a good team. Look at their qualification run. I think the sourness is more to the underestimation of Vile than anything else. Anyone who plays against them know they are capable of beating anyone. | ||

I met him at MLG and since then have been a fan. Anyone saying this would have been a 'walk over' considering not only viles strength, but FXO's own weaknesses (Lag, timezone, player schedule for gsl etc) it was a pretty close. But we respected them for the team they are and played the likes of gumiho and asd, because VILE is a good team. You guys saying vile aren't good need to really learn more about the teams in competitions. Vile <3's FXO ^___^ | ||

He's really good for his age, and he's a foreigner which makes it even more impressive. Can you blame him though? He knew he had the game won, and was so close to forcing it to an ace match against a top Korean team. He also knew that if he lost, his team was done. That's fighting spirit, not BM. | ||

The format of winners league allows you to consistently send out your players in their best match-up on the best possible map for that matchup. Add to that Vile is a full NA team playing Koreans on the NA server. This is also the World Cup final for Vile, aside from Illusion who played on an MLG sunday this is the biggest games they've ever played where FXO are busy training for their Code S games and/or helping their teammates train for them. If you can't take a game in your best matchup, likely your opponents worst on your map choice when he's cross server and you're not when are you going to win? And yet FXO still didn't have to play Leenock or Oz. Seriously? You posted earlier how Vile has no chance and would not be able to even take a game. That alone would not be a problem, as all of us have made wrong predictions. But trying to take away from vile's strong showing by using those excuses is a bit sad, don't you think? Your team won, but don't make a fool of yourself | ||

Even though I like Vile, I think you need to find a bigger team, go to Korea and kick some ass in GSL. You have a great future. | ||

I hope to continue to see great things from him and his team for the rest of this tournament and at IEM Sao Paulo, which he qualifed for. | ||

You do understand that he is only 15 which means he is still in high school. Would your parents let you drop out to play video games full time in Korea where you have like a 30/70 chance at making it? | ||
