[x], top 4 #WCS Korea [x], top 4 #WCS America [x], #WCS Europe winner Juergen [x]. So maybe Soulkey, sOs and Innovation will be seeded in stage 2. They may even be seeded directly into the final tournament. There is 4 spots/invites reserved for top WCS players | ||

Lol so when the stronger Kespa players lose to the weaker Kespa players in a qualifier, your theory is that they simply don't care? Sorry if these upsets hurt your notions of how good certain players are, but I highly doubt they lost because they didn't care and neglected to prepare/practice/try hard enough. I think a more reasonable theory is that Kespa players' greatest strength is preparation and that in a format where many games are played back-to-back in a short time, that strength isn't apparent and thus strange results like this happen. | ||

Their sponsors are Korean, and their primary focus is proleague. They throw the foreigners a bone, albeit small one. Still, Reality is not "weak." He's as good or better than a lot of hyped terrans like Bomber or Taeja. | ||

Major said that scv timings are the only strong option T has against P. I guess that's why so many Koreans do it. Guess I need to research the timings more tho, because whenever I try it I get stomped. 14% TvP this season TT | ||

I got to cast young fella Ty(Baby) which was interesting for me, considering I remember first seeing him when he looked like this as a 12 year old in GomTV Avertec Intel Classic :D As for the Flash controversy, unfortunately I don't know too much more than you guys, only that word is Flash was trying something new but other than that I don't know, I was busy looking after my content. Speaking of which; big thanks to Fenner for helping out HEAPS and Zepph for being awesome co-casting. A couple of things: On July 10 2013 23:14 Tsubbi wrote: duckville sometimes sounds 100% like kermit the frog lol I don't even - I can actually do a really good impression of Kermit (and Arnie) but that's the first time I've had someone say that when I wasn't doing the impression hahaha xD On July 10 2013 22:57 Arceus wrote: The Escala is strong with Duckville stream Love that Escala <3 | ||

Don't worry about it, it's the common excuse. Fan favourites only lose because the sun was in their eyes, or some other excuse. Welcome to starcraft 2. B-teamers can beat A-teamers. I prefer seeing the future come out of more open qualifiers as opposed to seeing the same names all the time. | ||
