I don't like how they pre-decided the group to bracket placing.

This could very well be a situation where Stephano would maximize his overall tournament winning chances by losing this match, because it puts him against an opponent he is confident against in the brackets.

Bad tourney design.

So will this end the "foreigners can't keep up with Koreans" bullshit?


I think we have known for a while now that when foreigners play their A game, they have a good shot at beating Koreans. However, outside of a couple players like Stephano and Nerchio, they just haven't been able to do it consistently.


Foreigners playing their A games?

From the upsets i have seen, it was more like Koreans botching their games more than foreigners winning.

Rain got out micro'd pretty hard in that second game. First game was him botching it but the second he just got out micro'd.


Rain never got out-microed.

He overextended after he pushed back Babyknight initial push.
Ended losing one immortal.
Cost him the game.

Either way he got out micro'd or made a stupid choice which lost him the game... he lost either way.


Your point being?


In the end he lost so stop trying to make excuses?Babyknight rules Rain sucks? The point seems clear to me.

(P)HuK vs (Z)KiLLeR - Game One - Daybreak

The game played out the usual Daybreak PvZ fashion, with both players taking three bases to start and then going about working on their plans. Not surprisingly, Killer wanted to turtle up and go to brood lords, while HuK tried to hit with speedlots and archons to disrupt this timing. However he didn't come close to threatening Killer, and died to the floating cloud of death.

I fell asleep at around 3.30 AM and missed all the matches so far, but... What. Rain got 2-0'd by Babyknight? Curious lost? Idr a 2-0'd RorO and herO lost to Titan? Judging from the comments, it was more about the Koreans screwing up than the foreigners playing top-notch; is this true - or is it just foreigner hate? Are Idra and co. really playing well?


Idra and Titan played pretty well, BabyK´s win is partly him playing very strong and partly Rain being arrogant.


Well, Rain being arrogant is hardly surprising. Honestly, I think he'll be better off having lost a game so he knows he can't go around thinking he's already got the win. Good to see it all not being one-sided, though.

So you believe that Blizzard should have predicted that the better player would not finish first? You also think that anyone will just throw one match on the assumption that he will win the 3rd match? Two get out, not three.

Not the same situation at all as he would still have to win against hero and no one in sc2 is a big enough favorite for that kind of strategy to be worthwhile

Insur vs Levin has been delayed by about 3 hours, tournament running smooth I guess.
