Lucifron beating a barely 50% winrate random foreign Zerg is not "flawless" or "revolutionizing" play. He still lost to Stephano in a very sloppy series.

It's one hell of a lethal line-up Europe is going to be sending to the world championships.

I think we've got a realistic shot of making life very difficult for the Koreans.

Koreans aren't even going with their best, maybe there will be some big surprises in WCS finals


There "best" couldn't qualify buddy maybe they arnt the "best"?

GSL stats say otherwise, really, between forfeits, scheduling issues and what not, big hitters were out quickly, which sucks. 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.

so if stephano had bombed out of wcs france because of a bad condition or he had a bad day he's not one of the best in EU? that's what happened with WCS KR. some of the best Terrans didn't make it in the qualifiers and some of the other best players forfeited.


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.

I have no idea why terran are saying that zerg are OP. 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
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

Don't underestimate the show china can give.


The China national finals(?) had amazing production value to be honest. We'll see, hopefully Blizzard will pull some strings and put on an AMAZING show in Beijing.

You could say the same about any tournament, including GSL.

WCS Korea results would have probably been different if they knew the prize $ for WCS Global


absolutely not
The Koreans totally lack tournaments. Only GSL for a long time. Now OSL. The pricepool for WCS Korea alone was significant enough that they all cared very much.

Is that where they´ve hosted the Eurovision Song Contest (I believe it was 2010/2011)?

It's a new soccer arena next to Globen. Will open next summer,

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
