Holy shit Thorzain is playing so sloppily. Foreigners in general are playing very subpar.

Yeah I havent seen a skytoss vT or vZ yet, or have I missed games with it?

Well there's always Rain vs Jjakji and MVP vs MC to come.

I don't have high hopes for those matches tbh. I've only really ever heard it being the frequent standby in PvZ.

Was there a single match ZvT with mutas in this tournament so far?


Good question, not that I remember seeing, which is disappointing. They would be a perfect match to the high-paced games with medivacs.

Wax and Fionn actually get paid to post snarky comments in LR threads

It's true


And make terrible, terrible puns in headlines - snide comments and headlines with puns, thats it. Other people are actually writing the articles

I'm actually liking the way early-game PvT looks in HoTS. The reaper openings and the MsC spice things up a bit and make it much more interesting.

Calling it now, Killer may even 3-0 Thorzain. Not confident in Thorzain's play so far. 3-1 at best for Killer

They really need to stop doing region based qualifiers. Otherwise the main tournament is always going to be a stomp.

Or Korean seeds could be placed higher. And they could be entered by anyone. Maybe they can start in the money. That way we get 2 rounds or so of foreigner LQ play.


Or we can just have open qualifiers for ALL of the invite slots.


But then the foreign scene would be dead.


Yep, and there would be no more Foreign SC2 tournaments like MLG, NASL.


Well, not entirely true. If they could still get high viewer numbers and lots of spectators nothing would change, they could still fly in the good players from Korea and hold an event. It just depends on if the fans will accept that.


Some people say they are only interested in the best players, the Top Koreans, and fair enough. However I think that the viewer figures tend to drop once all the Foreign competitors are eliminated, this shows that significant sections of the audience do care about Foreign participation. People can argue about whether that should be the case, but it IS the case regardless.

Less viewers equals less prize money which leads to diminishing returns, less prize money, tournaments getting smaller wrt number of competitors, harder to find sponsors, less money to fly over Koreans etc. Tournaments are not charities, they have to be profitable in the long term. They need to take steps to maintain viewers or the scene will die.

Maybe Tournaments can have major regional LAN tournaments, with a Championship being more global. WCS worked very well, so maybe something similar.

Thorzain's decision process and style is completely different from that the Korean Terrans showed so far, who have all played similar styles though with variations in how they play them.

Now you have to ask: why? Why doesn't Thorzain switch to the style he has to see all the time in Korea? Why doesn't he become 'just another Korean Terran' given his practice environment and training partners?

In answering that, I think you have the answer to the discrepancy between Korean pros and NA / EU pros.

Except that I attribute to Waxangel every misspelling, confused homonym, and grammar Nazi irritant in all articles. Because he's trolling.
