This is just utterly unacceptable. The biggest tournament of SC2 to date arguably and the production has been incredibly bad. Really disappointing and embarassing.

I already mentioned it, but I'm not a hater of any of them. It is a very real possibility. You can live in your own perfect world where everyone plays FOR HONOR!!! But seriously, there is $100,000 on the line, and Stephano has thrown games in tournaments before (see Stephano vs BratOK) and he probably has a better shot against HerO (who he already crushed) followed by BabyK.

I'm sorry... it's just a reality.

ABSOLUTELY the most FRUSTRATING viewing experience EVER!!! Between the 30% volume of the commentating vs. the 150% volume of the ads, the stream stuttering, the 4 ads I have to watch over and over every time the stream is lost...

Just wow... I would rather pay 15 bucks and actually get to watch a full 2 or 3 games then waste my time getting 40 percent of one game....


Dude just watch the Korean stream on mute then turn on Catz stream and listen to their commentaries about the games. Much better viewing experience thus far <3

Stephano should be disqualified imo. He 100% thrown that 1st game. Not even a platinum players attack like that. He's trying to avoid Rain in the bracket.

It would be pretty one sided.


Like Idra vs Roro?

Rain isnt Roro.

Ahh so babyKnight obviously must not be Roro either. Good to know!

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?

babyknight played better?


As much as I believe that Koreans are still generally better than foreigners (minus the aforementioned outliers), BabyKnight won over Rain. Whatever happened, that means that BabyKnight played better than Rain.

If anything, this should be a wake-up call for Koreans that they need to research their opponents better as their raw skill is no longer at a level that makes not knowing their opponents irrelevant. Still, foreigners are doing better but I don't believe that these players are the absolute best Korean players around (minus Rain). Send in Life, Leenock, Mvp and in-form players like Ryung, Flash and such. If the podium is multi-national then I'll concede.

Heck, even right now, apart from Scarlett, Nerchio and Stephano, I bet most of the top spots will be filled with Koreans. In order for it to stay that way, though, Koreans need to stop being so arrogant and actually study foreign opposition.


Well, Koreans already devote a lot of time studying their GSL opponents. I don't think it is arrogance as much as a time issue. I am sure top foreigners like Stephano, Scarlett, Nerchio get studied a lot by Koreans. But players like TitaN and Babyknight, probably not as much. It is not a insult to these players, I am sure players study Rain, PartinG more than they study for Arthur, Sang, etc.
