I have nothing against koreans, but there are no interesting koreans (MC, MVP, Taeja, Squirtle, MKP, Losira, Nestea, Parting, DRG) left or they didn't even compete in tsl4 in the first place. Now I have no-one to root for in the top 8. I guess I'll just go for whoever foreigner is left just because of the upset factor ^^ Koreans can't get to BE interesting if they don't get exposure, i.e in tournaments like this. Plus the qualification was meritocratic, with a few invites to former champions. I mean how many people were fans of Seed before his recent upsurge in form? | ||

Not to be a prick and I do like to pop into LRs once in a blue moon to comment, but there is basically no story, no underdogs, no climactic anything. Hack and almost all these koreans do not have a ton of personality (regardless of anyone's justifications to subjectivity), they are all Code B to low Code S players that are almost all recyclable. Granted, most of the foreigners in TSL are of the same quality in the EU scene, at the very least we could have rooted for an underdog. Now at best we'll have JR (who I wouldn't mind to be honest) or Major (aka always one train wreck away from something). I haven't watched any of the TSL matches because I didn't find anything here for me, but I just wanted to address the terrible point people make of 1. Not wanting to watch because of no foreigners OR 2) Not understanding why. It's not always about saying, 'ok, based on our system, we have the highest pool of talent', it's also about making it entertaining and by human nature, rarely is something worth watching unless there is also a back story. It should be noted that TSL doesn't have the "best" talent anyway as the majority of Code S players did not even bother to make more than a couple or any qualifying attempts, which is why placing a few invites (for the draw) ALONG with qualifiers (for the skill and newcomers) is what made TSL3 so great. Nice way to despise people simply because they're Korean. | ||

Well...I would want it whine free, but I am not expecting miracles. Or am I..? Hmm. | ||
