No Blizzard should balance to the highest level and foreign Terrans should have to work harder to get there. I wish that more Koreans would enter foreign tournaments so all these bad and under performing foreigners would have to retire.

Damn, the music they pick in this tournament is amazing. Good job for the organizers.

It was also a shame back in WC3 a pretty large contingent of fans didn't actually consider lucifron to be a good player I often saw accusations that lucifron rode on orc OP.

If Socke goes to the ro8 then by no means there will be a 5th terran at WCS finals, as he has to beat EmpireHappy to do this. So our only chance for a 5th terran is that Happy beats Socke and then one of the zergs (Lowely, Sortof or Stephano) to make it to ro6.
I don't see that coming, we'll have to do with 4 terrans at WCS finals most likely... Fenix, Illusion, Major and Lucifron... fishes in a barrel TBH.
It is a bit of a let down considering Europeans tend to be better, on average, than their american counterparts

You say what they should. But that isn't their intended way to handle balance, which means they are failing at that

Yeah because Kas doesn't work hard at the game...... Sigh. Why so much vitriol in your post?

Unless you like PvPs I would avoid that horrible tournament

Why are people going on about Korean Terrans? There are no remaining Korean Terrans in WCS. They all got knocked out already.

I agree here. I mean Kas is probably the hardest working player in terms of raw time he puts into the game.

Business as usual. The game shouldn't be balanced around shitty foreigners too lazy to practice
And foreign Protoss and zergs aren't lazy? The reason that foreign terrans do not do as well is that terrans are designed to be more aggressive in the mid game. Which doesn't match up with foreigner play style. Most foreigners (all 3 races) prefer the sit back and macro game play. And with terrans, you can't really afford to do that vs Z and P.

When did I point out Kas. Kas does seem to work very hard and he is talented but he is a huge choker. I am talking generally.
