Only one Korean player and one Code A/B player.
Congrats on the easiest 100k of your life. If it was os easy why didn't you won it? I didn't say it was easy, I said it was the easiest 100k of his life. Compare that run to winning two GSL's and getting second in another, which is what you would have to do to match the 100k prize money. Compare the many tournaments where Stephano has made bank to an MLG... prize money isn't equitable in eSports (at all). That said, this tournament had more barriers to entry (all the qualifiers, limited korean representatives) and demanded more consistency than almost any other. What more do you want?
I don't want anything, I'm just telling it how it is.
Qualifying for this event as a KR player is extremely tough, because you had to place well in two tournaments beforehand.
Parting was rewarded generously with a good bracket, and he took advantage.
Beating the players listed does not make him the best in the world, that's the only point. I don't like the tasteless hype because all the casual viewers will buy into it and I don't want to hear any crap about Parting being the best player in the world.

Congrats on the easiest 100k of your life. ...because every other Code S/A/B korean was knocked out either earlier in the tournament or in the many qualifiers leading up to it Seriously, wtf? This was a lot harder to win, and required a lot more consistency, than any single Code S championship. He got third in WCS KR, second in WCS Asia, first here. That's fucking amazing. Trying to downplay the achievement is just messed up You're missing the point, I'm not trying to downplay his achievement or anything, he played really well and did great in WCS KR and WCS asia to get to this point but the players he had to beat to win this makes it the easiest 100k he will ever make in his life.
No you are missing his point. You also have to count all the people he beat in the qualifiers, which worked toward his entry into the tournament.

Gratz to Parting! Top 3 at this tournament was extremely predictable

except he didn't win the lottery, so that's not the easiest $100k of his life, the BWC is

Pretty uninteresting finals considering everything that led up to this point. Congrats to PartinG nonetheless, rich ass bastard..

You're looking at it wrong. He deserves credit for winning those tournament individually and making it to the BWC. He didn't, however, do much to earn the top spot at this event though. Not down playing his efforts, I'm happy for him, but its not like he went from one the top protoss playersvto the best player in the world in 2 days.
A tournament that want's to pretend its the highest achievement in the sport has to fix the qualifying. The player pool was very very poor and a terrible representation of the best players that the world has to offer.

...except those players beat the other players you would demand he beat to make it the hardest $100k of his life. What do you want him to do, beat every single player in every qualifier in the most convoluted group stage format ever invented?
Literally every big name was in the different qualifiers/events, and he was the last guy standing. That's the equivalent to an olympics, and why it gets hyped. This bitching is bad.

Did you look at the qualifiers at all? The player pool was every top name in Korea (and the rest of the world). The very nature of a massive tournament like this is that 99% get weeded out and a few champions from each nation are left standing. Just because you don't like who they are, or how they perform on the day, doesn't mean they don't deserve to win, or aren't the best player in the world at that moment.

Still over 200k behind MC though. :D

Bitterdam's conversation when they didn't think they were on air is clearly what made this the best event of the year.

Trying to downplay the achievement is just messed up he beat sc, alive, curious, roro, both heros i think, so not the most impressive line-up. i dont think people are downplaying his achievement so much as they are fed up with the blatant and forced hyping. Blizzard really desperate to make this seem more important than it really is (apart from the money, which is undoubtedly a big thing)
The lack of terran really tainted the BWC for many people i guess. Blizzard is in a difficult position to integrate foreigners (most of them suck) in the tournament to make it a "world"-ish championship.

It's the only 100k of his life so far so of course it's the easiest, duh

Parting doesnt care about haters with 100k in his bank. Gratz to all 3 tosses though, they had put up some really great games this tournament.

There will be WCS next year? It;s pretty damn amazing tournament overall. I would say that it's the best if you count all continental tourny.
