Did they ever really travel a lot though? If you take a look at who went where it's almost always a trip paid by the organizer, most Korean players go to MLG because their flight and accommodation is paid for if they make it into groups.

IPL4, IPL brought the entire Prime and Startale teams to play in the GSTL finals which led to an insane number of Korean players in the open bracket.


An interesting thing to watch will be whether KESPA allows it's players to play in Foreign tournaments. I suspect it will limit their participation, but it will probably come down to money available in domestic tournaments. If the Korean BW fans embrace the transition into SC2 then KESPA might just ignore the Foreign tournaments. However there is a LOT of prize-money in the Foreign tournament scene currently, so that is a big change from BW days.


Considering the whole kespa vs MLG thing that they are organising, we should see plenty of that


Sure but the question is whether that will be a one-off event. I am thinking more about what happens next year.

Damn, Nightend vs Stephano looked close as hell!

Close? Are we watching the same game?


That was during the main attack when their supplies were equal, Nightend just kept reinforcing his GW + immortal army with GW units only, lacking any splash and he paid the price for that in the end. Stephano did an amazing job just sniping all splash and pulling back, hunkering down until he had the critical mass to stop the army.

I wonder how big Sc2 would be if every match up was as amazing as TvZ(last years TvZ) and TvT.

NightEnd's three base timing was 20-30 seconds too late. I think he went too heavy on immortals early on.

Thats not that much for a protoss with mass gates...


was right after a zealot warp in though. He should have taken a 4th behind and transitioned into HT + Mothership. He had a chance, but just threw it imo.

idk if anyone should expect anything more of Nightend. That's the same exact way he played vs Taeja. He plays to not die instead of playing to win. Taeja just seemed to get impatient and A-moved to his own demise.

Wasn't the deal between MLG and Kespa supposed to be long-term? At least that's what I understood, I doubt that it's going to be a one time thing, especially considering how high the viewership for an event like that will be!

thats how nightend play-style has always been. Sits in base the entire game, gets deathball and hopes to wins. He is the epitome of what everybody hates in a protoss player.

13 min no rush, the current state of PvZ is shocking at the moment. Only Grubby makes protoss worth watching these days

Guess random people could do better against Stephano. It was pretty much logical play against Stephano. He just did a mistake with hallucination and reinforcements, then maybe, we could have seen something different or more interesting.

I don't know if this was Nightends plan from the start but felt that he got baited by Stephano kind of. He scouted and saw all those corruptors, probably expected them to morph to brood lords immediately but Stephano stayed calm and kept his corruptors until after Nightends attack got botched and then morphed them. Stephano seems so smart and tactical, no wonder he wins all the time. =D

Also really cute play by Nightend with hallucinations in that 3 base all-in, too bad he had wrong position on his real colossus.

Yeah, that great swarm of corruptors won Stephano the match, sniping the colossi and reinforcing with 44 lings really hurt Nightend.
