the thing he is missing is that apm =/= actual actions per min.

STILL no foreigners qualified for code A. Do you guys think someone will ever make it? At least there's a few playing today too, hope naama makes it. Jinro has gotten close twice. It's possible Which foreigners play today? Naama, DeathAngel and SaSe confirmed. I would be surprised if Haypro and Jinro would not chose to play. I don't know about Morrow, weither he plans to stay in korea longer or not  Edit: Few months ago Demuslim was confirmed as an Up&Down Seed and to return to korea. Is he the injured seed? What has he done?
I think MorroW went to Japan this week to renew his visa so he could stay in Korea. That makes me happy!

...What? That's literally only PvP (and to a lesser extent ZvZ) nobody is ANYWHERE near the skill-cap. Not to mention ZvZ and PvP were pretty similar in BW, with lower-tier players taking games off better players frequently. There are several players with 70%+ win-rates, which is basically Flash-level win-rate, the consistency is there.

From what I have seen this is more of an issue with PvP than starcraft 2 in general, as that is where most of the foreigner vs korean upsets happen, not just in this recent IEM.
On topic though, I really hope Bomber makes it through.

According to the Playhem database, ZvZ is more volatile than PvP.
Anyways, there are still some foreigners left that will fight on the second day.
Come on, the foreign scene needs a new hero to look up to!

Still wondering where Polt is. If he doesn't show up today, it's pretty much confirmed he got a Code S seed. Except if he just wants to solely practice for foreign events, but that would be silly.
