Did they show how InControl broke the table? I was watching the Kas-SortOf series. | ||

They will "struggle" then start to win as game becomes more stable. Better idea is rewarded in new era. Better execution is rewarded in stable time. | ||

You saw more and more EU players taking games and series of regular GSL contestants in the past months. I think when EU teams and players keep on improving their practice regiments and learn from the best, while bringing their own views and strengths in, we'll be truly competetive in 1-2years... edit: and we saw the side effect of this too, since NA players are losing more and more ground onto their EU comrades. Eh, I don't agree with that. If you look at this tournament, it had a lot of top European players and the Koreans trashed them. I mean hell, every Korean that could possibly advance did so. I think the biggest argument in favor of a large gap between Koreans and Europeans is that if other Code S, A, or B(Moon/Puma) Koreans were sent to this tournament they would perform well, while none of these foreigners could even make it through the Code A qualifiers, let alone make it into Code S. Stephano and Naniwa are the only foreigners who truly play at a Code S level. Though, many koreans and foreigners have said that Stephano's style is not suited for GS. And Naniwa, I don't want to take anything away from him but I guess I have to, was given a welfare seed into Code S and has had some of the luckiest groups I have ever seen. Hack, Stc (2 of the worst players in Code S) and PvP's 2 seasons in a row? He lost handily to an injured Mvp and lost to DRG who admitted he was fooling around.... | ||

I guess there goes the idea of foreigners closing the distance. | ||

To be fair, MC looked at Naniwa vs. DongRaeGu and said he was impressed with Naniwa's play. | ||

So you're saying Naama will win another Dreamhack? ^^ Anyways, just checked the playoffs and have to say FFFFFUUUUU - MaNa vs MC first round, MaNa one of my favourite players and MC has to win the event, so I win the keyboard and signed mousepad from GD Studio xD | ||
