Let's see them win a tournament against consistently top-level Koreans. You see any foreigner win MLG lately? RIght in your heartland, son.

so the winner of the group of death has to face Rain in RO16. sounds pretty fair.

Stephano's gonna demolish IdrA.Just sayin...

Stephano really should just take a dive. Would help his teammate get to the 2nd round, he owns Hero, and he avoids Rain.
But that would be illegal, so yeah, maybe not.

Either China paid about 2,000 people to show up to the opening ceremony and then leave, or they came for free shit, got it, and then went to go watch the cosplayers at the event.
I think the Chinese are all watching the WoW Arenas

Now that zerg is widely regarded as OP, what does Idra whine about lately? Haven't been following him.

This casting. So awesome.
Aaah. Pity the crowd is gone. I can't see a domestic US crowd or a euro crowd not bein around with that casting talent.
mnn love me some artosis.

Oh god, it is in their advantage to lose this almost :/ That could ruin this match. Babyknight's PvZ is pretty bad in comparison to Rains...

at what point to we start giving credit to people for winning against koreans?
Some players are having their accomplishments today downplayed for sure. However even if we have an all foreign top 8 or something to that degree it doesn't change the fact that it's an oddity as opposed to a trend. The fact that people have to treasure the rare string of upsets is telling about how little faith a lot of western fans have even in their favorites. It doesn't mean people should belittle the performances put out by players like babyknight or idra but I can understand why people are quick to shout down any hype the same way they tend to be skeptical of many suddenly streaky or well performing players within the Korean scene itself.
