I didn't watch much tournaments recently (too much ZvZ and ZvP for my taste) but I wanted to see HSC, hence my question:

"The hell happened with Korean's skills? It seems Europeans area really catching up."


Which of those Europeans don't play Zerg tho?

the typical casual sc2 watcher is registered and posting in an tl lr thread? i doubt that.

Yea, thats the case specially in last day, there is only one stream and not that many games to be played. Specially with some of the zvz's lasting 5 minutes.

Point is : Its hard to get a game balanced, that has more than 1 level.


ur comment doesnt make sense.
no1 gives a shit about what happens in bronze-masters, only progaming level matters.
if the game is balanced for the best, the others are just too bad to play.

Ironically, there are way more people playing (=customers) in the lower leagues than in the higher leagues. Making sure that those people have a pleasant experience is rather important.

Symbol got back to back ro8 in GSL season 3 and 4, and just placed top 6 at IPL5 a couple weeks ago. I really don't understand the logic of people in these threads. Apparently if you don't win every tournament you are in a slump and aren't playing well. And as far koreans losing to europeans. Maybe europeans are working hard and their hard work is paying off? It baffles me to think that just because someone is a certain nationality they should never lose. This isn't brood war

As i see it, the fanbase is a pyramid. Many bad players that like the game and a few pro's. If u would imbalance the game to much for brons-plat so that progaming is 100% balanced, that big base could get alot smaller very fast.


And as a result, progaming would as well. I thought this question had been settled 10000 threads ago.

Even with Broodwar, top Koreans like Silent_Control among others still lost to foreigners at times. Seriously man.

Geez, casting this whole tournament is atrocious. They constantly talk over each other, speak as if they were talking to the players or casters and not the viewers (oh no <instert name here>, dont do that) and are generally not accustomed to co casting.

What? These aren't professional casters, these are the players attending mostly that are casting, they are doing a really good job as well.

TL logic. Only top tier koreans are most recent gsl/ipl/mlg winner + Mvp
everyone else = slump

Balance doesn't even matter for popularity. Do you think League of Legends and Dota 2 are balanced? Those games have balance patches every week almost. It's all about how fun the game to watch/play is.
ZvT for example was so much more fun to watch when Zerg played Muta/bling and terrans went marine/tank. Was that perfectly balanced? Most people agreed it was Terran favored but it was a million times more fun to watch.

I watch every GSL gama and was at IPL5, its not just about results. If you watch Symbol's play he is so inconsistent that he cannot be considered a top player. MKP is the same, constantly in ro16 but considered a joke in korea because he does stupid shit like roll over and die randomly. He was like that in 2011 as well, randomly dying to a lowered supply depot/forgetting to wall-off etc. Flashes of brilliance + streaks of horrible play doesn't make you a top player.

When symbol loses in GSL he loses hard
