KRs are the most exciting players imo, but this is not their best. For whatever reason KRs in general seem to have placed little importance on WCS. I honestly dont think they like the idea of a tournament othar than gsl/osl being considered WORLDS best tournament, and the world champion is the current champion of these tournaments. If this is the case, they do have a point ^^ | ||

GSL has different tournament style so their stats doesn't have much weight there. | ||

Don't hate on Swedish music! We've had Jakob Hellman, Atomic Swing, the progg movement, some of the world's best metal with bands like Dissection etc. As long as you ignore the radio hits, most countries have great music to find <3 | ||

I think that there is a high chance of a foreign champion, if we just look at the qualified players - Nerchio - We all know he can defeat koreans already, we saw it at HSC V and IEM Gamescon Grubby - We also know that he defeated koreans are other tournaments aswell, and has the potential to beat anyone on a good day (Except Stephano). BabyKnight - Haven't proven himself as much, but he did beat Keen and Symbol in the FXOpen invitational a little over a month ago. Lowely - He haven't really beaten koreans, but his level of play could upset some. VortiX - He have already beaten koreans before and put up good fights against the best players in the world. Lucifron - Anyone who have seen his play will agree that he is good enough to beat any of the koreans if he keeps on the play his displaying right now. Stephano - We know he competes with koreans, and WCS Korea was mainly protoss.. and we know StephanovP is imbalanced as the only korean protoss who keeps an even record with him is MC, all the others just fall over. | ||

This new mech style that is being adapted by Koreans and passing onto Foreigners is getting out of control. The APM for it isn't rediculously high either, can be done by a low masters terran. lol arguing with APM is a bit silly its not really important | ||

Only GSL for a long time. Now OSL. The pricepool for WCS Korea alone was significant enough that they all cared very much. | ||

Yup I agree, EU has a pretty decent chance to actually win WCS finals especially depending on who gets through from WCS Asia, we may see some more upsets and heavy hitters not make it there. | ||

Wait what, what are you basing this on? Most of the empire guys are working their asses off, so one good tournament for Lucifron and he's suddenly the most talented and hard working one, sigh | ||
