Wooooww, I would never have guessed Insur and Mystik (no names?) and Vibe and Ranged, out of all the good players in there O.O If you have seen mystik play, you would know he's easily one of the top Zergs in NA.

I have never heard more biased/terrible casting than what I just witnessed by TotalBiscuit in the KawaiiRice vs IdrA series.

Oh man, imagine if Fitzy wins his match and then takes out Idra in the next round. I really hope that doesn't happen, nothing against Fitzy but people would be so annoying about it after Idra had said made some comment about him on SOTG.

Well, while I agree that the amount of piss he'll have to take is ridiculous - he has to be able to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.. if he loses he has pretty much set himself up for it

anyone know where i can find the bracket for this?

i enjoyed all the WCS games today, watched it over everything else primarily just to see some US players have the stage. Very suprising names ending up at the top of the brackets. Huge dissapointment from machine, incontrol, axslav, and sheth. Can't imagine those guys are very happy or confident coming out of a US only tournament without placing top 16.

I feel that the lesser known NA players have caught up in skill with all the pros. There is still a gap however to the top SC2 pros.

You look and see Demuslim, Zenio, Haypro, and a few others going out to some of these guys in the open bracket. If they can keep improving theres no reason the US can't be a top country. I just wish there was a national Team League with country vs country. There was one in wc3 i believe and it was very entertaining. Would love to see someone organize that with some big prize money and get the best from each country together to compete as a team.

USA definitely has the talent. It's just the logic of becoming a "top sc2 player" is rather ridiculous given our culture. Most of those good NA players you see are just college kids who play in their free time. I think its pretty damn cool that a college student can take a game off JYP who supposedly has godly PvP. Plus many of those players have zero RTS experience so they've had to play catch up since release. I'm really glad they're able to compete though. The foreign scene was getting a bit stale.

Insurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr <3 Superstar

why is this guy pretending nony has any chance here? 'the tension, omg can he hold' dafuq?
|
is there extended series for the WCS bracket?
|
Insur is a sexy mofo. wc3 fighting

Why is there 12k for the winner of this ? It's more than a DreamHack and the players are so much weaker !
I mean, I'm really looking for a reason for that much cash prize. I don't understand. It would seem ok for the winner of the final tournament (Battle.net world championship), I'm just confused.

Maybe it's because Blizz can give out as much prize money as they desire?

Because it's for NA players only and Blizzard can give out as much cash as they fucking want?

Wow vibe! Loving the results of this so far. Hope people will finally start to think of players like Vibe, Ranged, Insur etc when talking about the best US players instead of Incontrol, Machine, etc.
I hope Ranged can even get top 3, but it will be hard with Illusion on the same side of the bracket.

Hope Vibe wins the whole thing.
