Blizzard is back to looking ridiculous and all is right in the world. Even if Snute won it would just mean 4 Koreans and 1 European. That is just as stupid considering this is WCS America. Stop looking at the stupid name of the tournament because it's pointless. Think of them as three qualifiers and guess what? People would still bitch even if each qualifier's name was different. Okay. I will ignore an important part of the branding that Blizzard took in this tournament. Edit: I'd be completely fine with this whole WCS thing if Blizzard didn't go on the whole "It'll promote the local scenes" thing. At the end of the day, it is just another tournament that will give the best player money.
It would also probably help the local scene to make sure other tournaments have a maximum amount they can have for a prize pool. Monopolizing Esports and ensuring Blizzard doesn't have to spend a penny more than they'd care to can surely only benefit the players. If Morhaime ever quits at Blizzard, he'd make a great politician.

any more games today? My good friend, the games have barely even begun! Get ready for not only 1, but 2 semifinals (!), followed by the final, to crown the best player of WCS America! Man, you should sell stuff on TV.
MLG already has Puckett for this purpose, he always sounds like he does that.

Are they tied 2-2 ? What's wrong with Liqui? Why does it show 2-2?
Why can't I watch Snute on stream? :i

Ryung making me feel old, talking about WarCraft 3 in primary school - I was playing Warcraft 2 in college. -_-
Still, gogo Ryung and Axiom.

I was just stating the fact that having this tournament being won by Koreans, a European and an Australian is stupid because of the whole America branding associated with it. Other than that I have no problems with the games what so ever, it's pretty cool to see that Alicia won and I am cheering for Ryung to take the whole thing as indicated by my Axiom flair.
I know exactly what you're saying. This is not the thread for it. This is to discuss the games, not whether we like the branding of the tournament given who wins.

Pretty sure its cuz the foreigner lost so the admins don't want to update the page immediately. From my experience of watching games and checking the liquipedia updates simultaneously, series where a foreigner beats a korean are on average updated more promptly than the vice versa.

and we just told you the branding doesn't matter. The only region based thing in all this is where the final lan takes place for each qualifier and it's not like they're selling a bucketload of tickets to a each final lan event either. ESL has the small studio audience as well. Nothing to write off against. So once again, don't bother with the branding because it's meaningless. It has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

What's your opinion guys on the unit comp of Snute, where there too many infestors? Maybe more stable addition to SH could be corrupters or hydras? Infestors are really bad against colossus . Snute made waaay too much of them , maybe he tought Alicia was going for a big voydrai switch . He needed corruptors , like Stephano did on this exact same map against BBK . the push would have been demolished super easy if snute actually had energy on the infestors. Infestors were a good choice, wasting the energy was not.
No he had nothing to kill the colossus and now IT just melt against lasers and storms, fungal alone won't cut it . Also like someone pointed earlier corruptors would have killed the WP .
Not having this 5th by the 20 minute mark was really really bad honestly .

That's a pretty bizarre conspiracy theory you've got there. Did you actually do an experiment on this or is this just another manifestation of confirmation bias.
@incognito: if you want to change it you can just go to liquipedia and do it.The people who approve the changes may have just been a little bit busy in the half second before everyone checked

This is what Blizz wanted anyway, they wanted Koreans in every region playing. The foreigners are gonna have to pick up their game now that they've got talented players in their backyard. This season is going to be one of the "growing pains"
where the foreigners realize how much better they need to get if they want to represent their regions. So it's good to want local players to succeed, but the players need to be more upset about having Koreans representing their regions than the fans do

okay - they definitely need a 2nd good caster team.. where is day9?

The branding of the tournament has an influence on our perspective of the game results today so it is a legitimate topic in this thread.
