Great Job by Dimaga. The next game should be interesting. Lucifron vs Seiplo, 2 "Up and comers". Lucifron who recently got back into the game and Seiplo who is posting good results in the past couple of months!

Yeah, i dun want to take away anything from Dimaga win but Polt was playin on cross server KR-EU and everybody knows that the latency will be bad.So yeah polt was playing at a bit of handicap.
I don't really see the problem. They both agreed to it on this server and both Polt and Hyun play regularly in the European tournaments. No problems here. If you watched at the start of the show, dApollo even said that Polt and Hyun both mentioned that they have no problems playing cross-server.

KR-EU Latency is a huuuuge handicap.
yeah and thats why Polt and Hyun are regularly participating in and winning small EU online tournies...
They are good enough to win with latency. Do you think 350ms lag plays no role in the outcome of the game? It is really disappointing they didn't try to make the tournament as fair as possible.

Well they win those because they are better than the other guys playing regardless of lag.
Embarrassing loss in game 1 for Seiplo
yeah... when they win it is because they are better, if they loose it is because of lags. It is so fucking tiresome hearing all those Korean fanboys treating them as some kind of demingods. No they are not, they make mistakes too and can lose to foreigners.
