Yeah, and i rly like it...expect ForGG>Stephano and crushing the lacking MvP later on (MvP probably could get anybody down with enough time to prepare for special opponents)

Because NA no WhiteRa?
And because of the great casters and a very good amount of decent player in europe compared to NA which is a Koreanfest
Agreed, the player pool in EU is a lot more evenly matched, even the Koreans' have been given a run for their money (no Korean has had an easy run). However I strongly believe it's the production and format that is the tipping point.

For those who do not know what a vuvuzela is. It is a loud obnoxious horn that was used extensively at the Soccer world cup 2010 in South Africa. AFAIK it was banned after that tournament.
God, that was the worst thing ever. I don't know if they banned it, but i hope so. That was soooo bad, soccer has to have "singing" and stuff, not just a frikkin buzz.

He didn't know Star Wars.
meh never get the hype about it, never watched it either :D
GET HIM.
Over my dead body! I watched Star Wars, didn't like it, and will defend with my life anyone else who follows in my path of heresy!
Same thing here! I think its more of an american nerd type thing!
More a generation conflict
I actually believe that. I started with the "real" Star Wars movies without that sparkly stuff, they rocked. The prequels are, well.. Like Michael Bay movies. Nice action, but that's about it. Younger people don't watch the old SWs anymore, because bad graphics n stuff.
Edit: man, that makes me feel even older. ._.
To be honest, that comparison is an insult to Michael Bay. The prequels are so bad that they make Transformers look like a cinematic masterpiece.

Official WCS Rule Book, Version 1.1, change log: <May 26th, 2013, change 1>: Due to obnoxious noises, That GUY is banned from attending WCS events. Visitors will be searched at the door prior to entry, and have to leave any That GUYs they brought with them at the entrance.

Oh man, I was there and that brings back terrible memories. It was cool to be in the host country for the World Cup but the vuvuzela craze almost ruined it by the end.

You might have nailed it. If I tried to imagine being like 15 to 20 years younger and someone told me to watch these movies that are almost 40 years old and pre-date PCs, not even speaking about CGI, I'd probably didn't like it either.
I disagree. If you were to leave the shiny bubble of Internet Memeistan, you would find that most people who dislike the original Star Wars do so because, once you cut past the hype, it's a cute space fantasy flick with horrible dialogue, measly writing, and overabundant plot devices. Yes, it's a "cult movie" and it defined the popular perception of sci-fi for a couple generations, that's okay; no, that doesn't mean it's actually good.

It gave life to a lultastic South Park episode though.
