As usual people who got first in their group will meet people who got second in the round of 16. Then it's randomly drawn. Considering that there were 4 Koreans in 1st place and 4 Koreans in 2nd it isn't really unlikely that there are two only Korean matches. Also there's no need to be a dick about it and throw out random accusations because you don't like the bracket. | ||

Last time we saw Stephano in GSL he got clowned, though. I'm long past saying 'ah, but if only x player was there we would see foreigner strength!' Personally, I think that the nature of GSL - it being over a long period and having a format where players can prepare for each other well in advance - is crushing for foreigners because they're just not used to the pace and don't know how to take proper advantage of the format's foibles. There's plenty of times we've seen foreigners look amazing at MLG, often beating multiple Koreans, only to get destroyed instantly in Korea. I mean, you have to remember the ongoing joke about Naniwa winning at MLG and then losing in the first round of Code A... four times in a row wasn't it? | ||

Or you meant Blizz cup, where he went 2-2 with top Koreans? I wouldnt call that "got clowned" as he played the best result from foreigners! | ||

I can't find it anywhere. | ||

Granted he hasn't made it to GSL, he does good in TvP against Koreans too http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/details.php?section=sc2-korean&type=players&id=96&part=games&vs=P&league=any&map=any&from_year=2010&from_month=11&from_day=16&to_year=2012&to_month=2&to_day=13&action=Update goes toe to toe with MC (even has a slight advantage in the head to head) and MC's PvT is good and destroyed Genius at DH winter On February 25 2012 07:07 4of8 wrote: Taeja > Polt ( Polt against a Slayers Terran...) yeah man, we all know what happens when he plays a slayers terran...
