Gosh, not every game where a slight underdog beats a slight favorite is an "upset". =/

Yea, and I don't even think ForGG is the favourite considering the low amount of experience he has in those kind of tournaments.

Inori appears to be losing, so it seems like ForGG, Nerchio and Sortof will go through. Sick stuff ^^

Nerchio advances now, he owes Demuslim a beer if he ends up losing to forGG.

So thats the reason why 2 out of 3 koreans might drop out of a group of 6 players considering Demuslim looking strong against inori?

We're talking about some of the top foreigners in a group with two code b koreans and a code a korean, it's not really the most impressive feat.


Sortof and Demuslim have become top foreigner recently?

nerchio not so recently tbh

ForGG is good, but Nerchio is really consistently good too. People bar the Poles underrate the guy

Nerchio is supposed to be.


So if 1 out of 3 is a top foreigner it is "some"? I see....
And according to the guy I first quoted there would be 5/8 koreans in top8 against ~40 foreigners -_-

We'll see how the rest of the tournament goes .

Lol, it's the reason Koreans went 18-2 in sets versus foreigners in the Open Bracket for this tournament with the losses being PvP.


TargA did not win?
And now you compare some top koreans to "2nd class" foreigners. Of course koreans are ahead but it's not that foreigners can't compete with them at all.

This is so weird by Nerchio - he gets 2-1 by DeMu and SortOf (not to take anything from those two great players, but they werent really favourites in the group) and then wins (I hope) over Koreans - WTF?

First time I've tuned in to the IEM, Tastosis looks WEIRD without suits or at least jackets, they seem to have them at every event they cast - GOM, MLG, even WCS.

Of course Koreans are better. But imo its already pretty amazing that foreigners can even compete with them.

I feel like people not even being that amazed about a foreigner winning is an indication of how much more respected they are now.

I disagree. But we'll have to wait and see, I suppose. While this tournament won't prove anything in itself, it will be interesting to see if a Korean wins this tournament, and their representation in the top 3, 5, and 8 considering they compose less than half the field in this tournament.
