This is not the place to talk about LoL viewership. This is also not a place to caster bash/balance whine/flame, etc. Please don't argue about how many views LoL has, or which game is better, or we will be upset. (added page 174) Also, lay off Scarlett please. (added page 227) | ||

Polt Some protoss Some Protoss PuMa Some Protoss I give MC a 33% chance of advancing. Squirtle has near perfect PvP. I see him beating everyone in the group except probably Polt. | ||

Squirtle is top 5 though with no clear order within that 5. lolz you cant be serious. MC is not only most winningst of all time he is last 4 months too. Fighters make fights just so happens Polt has his number I'd put him against any other terran or zerg as a favorite. Protoss who knows. | ||

Of them, two are already virtually guaranteed to be knocked out on the second day. I realize that this is the most stacked bracket yet to be seen, but the chance of foreigners remaining competitive into the future seemingly dims, especially with the impending BW switch, should those players integrate with the current scene in any capacity... Hah, nevermind the fact that not a single Liquid member made it... blah. Yet in this gloom there may be hope yet. Who knew about Scarlett before today, yet she held with Code S players. Illusion, a kid still in high school took out 3 Code S players. Huk and Sase were both 1 series from the pools, beating multiple Koreans. | ||

You had plenty of great koreans being beat by foreigners. You had Scarlett take down TeriousPrime, plus take a game off of Oz and play a close series that she had a chance of winning. A no name person without a team who is a ladder person did this. Illusion beat Zenio, Ryung and Oz. Huk beat Ryung, and Virus. Sase beat golden, Heart, almost beat parting. They show that the foreigners can at least compete. As more and more koreans go to foreign teams, the foreign teams get to train with them and get better. It takes a long time to make those kind of improvements, like a year. But I at least have some hope for foreigners in the future of SC2. American players on the other hand....that might take a miracle. Being from the US I really want more players to root for than Idra. | ||

The common view is that its poor because of what MVP and MMA have done to him in the past, but the most recent TvT MKP has played at Code S level was round one in S1 where he beat Happy and aLive (who was red hot in that matchup) comfortably. I'm not saying its as red hot at his other 2 matchups, but I'd wager he'd be close to best TvT in the world. | ||

Very true, except the MMA part, they have a pretty even record, it's only MVP that dominated MKP in TvT. | ||

Hihi, like an Korean only event, with foreign invites :D ... I even think ign would be better of betting an extra airplane for the 50ish Koreans competing in this tournament  | ||
