I don't know how you Americans deal with it, as a European I'm so frustrated with not a single foreigner, let alone american making it into the round of 4. Its not even top level Starcraft compared to the GSL finals at least.
Even though I am an American, I am happy to see that all the foreigners have been wiped out.
The next step is for Kespa to wipe out all of the non-Kespa players. The world belongs to Kespa. :DDDDDD

Has there been any word so far on the format of the season finals? Just 16 man single elimination? ro16 GSL style groups? 16 man double elimination bracket?
It will be interesting to see how the brackets shape up. If there's group stage, foreigners will probably do worse, because there's less chance of just getting a lucky matchup in the first round.
Ro16 GSL groups into single elimination, so essentially GSL minus one group stage

I actually just tweeted at Genna suggesting that...
Although really, maybe a better shoe company should sponsor Axiom, so they can eliminate Crocs on a team-wide basis.

I'm not a hundred percent sure on this, but I believe the idea is to establish an 100% offline league for season 2 or 3, so you will probably have to live in the region to participate. It just wasn't possible to organise this season.

Kespa at least sticks to where the best competition and their main market is. I can respect that.

So it is now confirmed. A Korean winner in all three regions. In all honestly, did people expect anything different? I didn't expect a Korean to win in EU, the only reason it happened is because Mvp was in a much better condition than people were expecting. If it wasn't for that EU would have won.
i expect MVP to take the final next week.
he had a lot more time to practice and analyze and we saw that both innovation and soulkey can play a lot worse in high pressure situations while MVP is thriving in such circumstances

If that is so, I won't enjoy the next seasons as much, unless a massive amount of koreans decide to live in EU or NA :/
I'm ready to accept that I might be a minority with that thought, but if I am, I think it's a damn shame.

There's no way Mvp is going to take the season finals, he's raised his level high enough to where he can dominate most foreigners losing very few maps but playing vs Hero, bogusman, soulkey, sos, symbol, losira, roro is entirely different than EU.
It really depends on his bracket how far he gets, I'll say he can get top 4 with a good bracket until he runs into someone too good to beat. He won't have time to prepare for every series like a GSL, It's a weekend tournament.

his play was mostly allin from that point. it was the right decision but if MVP was at that situation he would have switched it up.
MVP crushed stephano 4-1 using a different build every match.
