Although, even I'd think that Creator at least did A LITTLE research on his opponents. If people like Flash and Fantasy came over, they'd know their opponents inside out (except in SC2, they may need to level up their actual skill to put that knowledge to good use). I think Life could win this with minimal research because his prodigious multi-tasking and fast play are what win him games. Rain could also take this because his solid play accounts for a lot of styles. Still, as I have no Korean here I am invested in aside from Rain, I wouldn't mind Nerchio or Scarlett taking this. Honestly, the state of Korean power in SC2 now reminds me of the state of basketball in the US. Yes, US basketball is still the best, but they can't guarantee themselves international championships without research on opposition anymore. Koreans are probably still generally better but they're no longer on a level so far ahead that they're guaranteed wins against foreigners without necessary preparation and study. | ||

(or Parting/herO) yeah pretty much. It's always nice when you see foreigners beating koreans, but what I miss most from koreans is its top notch terrans | ||

Wait a little, will ya, no one is knocked out yet. One of the guys in group E will be very soon though. But there is still a good chance of 5-6 koreans in the next round. | ||

Koreans are still way far ahead. Idra and Titan taking games off Curious and Roro are definitely upsets but upsets sometimes happen. Stephano and Nerchio winning isn't upsetting since they are the outliers within the foreigners. | ||
