Its only big in Taiwan I think.

Illusion played really well but parting was just much better.

STParting vs QuanticIllusion
Asia runner up vs USA
Illusion spawns in the bottom left on Daybreak, Parting spawns in the top right. Illusion opened up with rax-gas, which was scouted by Parting's probe. Illusion started his reactor on his barracks and his command centre, while blocking the nexus from Parting with an engineering bay. Parting started a second gas, then his nexus while Illusion started a third comand centre in his main. Parting opted to go for two more gateways before his robotics facility. Illusion pushed out to the watchtower and secured his natural with a single bunker at the front. Parting began his robotics support bay and a single forge as Illusion's factory is halfway complete, as well as a third nexus. Parting's twilight council began as Illusion's third orbital floated to the base. Parting stopped colossus production after a single one, transitioning into charge and a templar archives. Illusion pressured the third of Parting, attempted to drop over the forcefields to snipe the colossus but was unable to and was pushed back. Psionic storm started about the same time as the ghost academy, with Parting in the supply lead at 140-120. Parting expanded towards the bottom of the map for his fourth base and pushed along the bottom towards Illusion's natural with three storms, however he misses two storms and retreated back towards the middle. A second robotics facility was started at the same time as Illusion's fourth base. Illusion successfully snipes the lone colossus but loses several SCV's to a zealot runby to the third. Illusion and Parting engage at the ramp outside Illusion's fourth with 11 ghosts and 12 high templars. Good snipes landed but a key storm landed on the entire army. Zealots again runby through to Illusion's third base, but Illusion's push towards Parting's third is stopped by a zealot-heavy force. Zealots in Illusion's third finally cleaned up, now down 20 workers. Parting switched into double robo colossus, and pushed into Illusion's fourth base, killing all the SCVs and the command centre. Illusion attempted a two medivac drop but was shut down by cannons and a high templar. Parting pushed into Illusion's natural with a larger army and Illusion gg's out.

They were always going to be shit at this our for the western audience but maybe Asia makes up for it. I'm sure that's what blizz are hoping for with the whole event afterall.

China population is pettry big. There can be lot of players in your server, and the game be a minority in China.

Any word on when the Creator - Scarlett match will be? I've got to get up early in the morning, and that's the one matchup I'm willing to lose sleep to watch.
