Can someone fill me in on why MC withdrew ?


Playing IEM open bracket.


Ah okay - thanks!

But isn't WCS considerably more prestigious compared to IEM? Or is he going after the more guaranteed money in IEM haha.

mc might have done that for the money but what about mvp?


The IM coach did mention they were running an event there so there might have been some sponsor request. Also, many players skipped the qualifiers as well for MLG arena. Remember this is just the qualifiers for WCS Asia (unless you finish first which seeds you directly into global).


I guess it would be enough for LG to have Nestea and Losira and maybe some other IM players there. I really don't get the point of taking the most successful SC2 player of all time out of the most prestigous competition of the year for some sponsor PR.


I am not sure whether the Korean gamers take WCS as seriously as other countries. I mean, of course, they would still like to win and it is important. It might be more prestigious in other countries because it is their defacto national championship. But you already have OSL and GSL in Korea. It is not just MC, MVP. Players like Taeja also skipped the qualifiers for MLG Arena. Of course, being in the loser's bracket has something to do with it as well.

In terms of other sports, I think it is like NBA vs Olympics. For the others countries, they all view the Olympics the ultimate goal. For the US, of course they would like to win as well, but if you ask the players, they will probably tell you the NBA was more important.


They take it more serious than a foreign event...


Again, I am not suggesting that MVP feels IEM>WCS. But all the factors added up, sponsor commitment at IEM, being in the loser bracket having to win 3 series just to have a chance to make it, team kill are all factors. If say MVP made it to Ro8 and had conflict, I think it would have been different.

Btw Boss, since you are reading this thread, would be interested to know how the players feel about the korean tournaments in terms of prestige (i.e. Which one would they most want to win?)

GSL > OSL > WCS (Korea) > WCG (Korea)?? (of course, the Kespa players would have OSL as #1)

The results could not have been better, Kespa players all succeed, even against DRG (!), and the false hero dirty cash loses

thx!


Is there a free VOD? I mean this isn't the GSL, there was a twitch stream and it's sponsored by Blizzard, should be a free version somewhere...

Thanks in advance.

Effort is one of the most talented RTS players. It's only a matter of time till he gets back the #1 throne.

You don't fuck with Jaedong, man. Nor do you mess with the Alien.

There is only room here for one Dong, and the real one stepped up today.

Who cares if you are right about future prediction on if Kespa players will rule or not?
Do you win money or something if you are right?

If everyone was aware of Jaedong/Effort etc. and had proper respect, then people wouldn't bring it up so much.

Well, I think it is a minority and it is from both sides. A small number of people disrespect BW pros, a small number of people disrespect SC2 pros. And then everyone else jumps in to defend their side and one thing leads to another. The elephant articles keeps getting reference even though nothing can come of it because it was written a year ago and a lot of things no longer applied. I think the consensus from the SC2 pros was that it would be around 6 months (said 3-4 months ago) for Kespa players to catch up and that seems to be reasonable given the progress of the BW players. And of course, there is disagreement about the amount of time Kespa players have had and how much they training is split between BW/SC2. But this is very hard to argue because we just don't have the facts. It will be different for each team and individual (We knew some teams/players had been playing SC2 even before the Kespa annoucement)
