Indeed, and thats generous to the non-korean nations. A big part of this is to help kickstart the weaker countries pro scenes and grow the game/esport, not to kill them to make the stronger ones stronger still. And its doing a great job, near 27k people watching at one point when we've been told the UK scenes dead. | ||

The reason is not population. The reason is number of players playing SC2 in the countrey (their league doesnt matter) | ||

JonnyREcco and Ziktomini may be good players but they aren't the only good but unknown players in EU (despite what some overly patriotic Brits may think) and while I appreciate a good underdog story like everyone else, only one of them should have been able to qualify - and none if you consider that UK should only have 2 seed maximum. | ||

Blizzard also probably look at potential growth, the game is a lot more popular in Ukraine based on total number of players alone, not to mention precentage-wise, and considering the UK has a population larger by 20%, there's simply a lot more to be gained by investing in UK. | ||

The argument is so blindingly obvious, that I can't believe you're actually asking me to spell it out for you. You can easily fill all the spots in Sweden with players, that are known and we actually know, they can go toe to toe with the best in the world. Before the UK nationals, you would be hard pressed to even name three UK guys and then there's the question, if they would be even able to hold their own against the rest of the players. Which I'd love to see, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather give somebody a chance in the big leagues after they show us a little bit more. | ||

So Ziktomini went instead and beat players like Stephano and Bly. | ||
