Quoted from MLG. Actually its still slightly different. If two players have never met before meet in the GF then - If the player from the WB wins the first Bo3, he wins - If the player from the LB wins the first Bo3, the score remains, and the series becomes a Bo7 In a standard double elim you have - WB player wins first Bo3, he wins - LB players wins first Bo3, brand new Bo3 begins | ||

Quoted from MLG. Stop talking about extended series if you dont know what it is. And of course it is not going to be used here. Thats an MLG only idiocy, as everyone with common sense gets what a nonsense it is. | ||

Also 20k viewers I think shows that WCS can hold it's own, no need to make it sideshow at some other major event like at MLG. | ||

Sweden doesn't deserve WCS spots because we host other tournaments, helping grow esports? You are so clever. | ||

But that's no reason to shit on another country. A korean could easily tweet at white people and laugh how any of us except stephano are given WCS slots at all for a tournament for the best. It's a world tournament, UK has ~ as many people as Sweden they're allowed to have their players represent. WCS isn't about finding the best people anyway, it's about awesome events like this and energising each nation's individual local scene. For Australia so far it's been pretty fucking cool, and I'd imagine it's been great for all the other nations. The UK's one has looked, from what little I've watched, to be fucking amazing too. | ||

I can also tell you that Zikto isn't that good actually, he probably just handles the situation very well and doesn't have any issues playing live in front of many people. JRecco is a much better player overall compared to Ziktomini. Sweden also has rather unknown players who are really good, someone who comes to mind is SortOf. Its actually harder to get noticed as a swedish player because they have so many good players. | ||

I think the UK is delivering, and there are other nations with much more questionable talent, but if it was based on merit the UK should not get as many spots as Sweden. | ||

If people feel like the swedes has more talent, well should they not welcome weaker competition? I like this WCG styled event where everybody has a shot to get in and be a big name. Just because they are not famous does not mean they don't have talent. I think the only difference is that Sweden has alot more established players but if we are gonna look at only that kind of logic South Korea should have somewhere between 20 - 400 spots (obviously exaggerating). Either way, enjoy the games and be happy we get to see some (to me atleast) unknown players play some entertaining starcraft 2 | ||
