I can't believe IEM allowed this.

I'm just kind of furious right now that this precedent has been set. How many other games are teams going to simply request don't get broadcasted?

I can't believe there isn't more outrage. This should be a top news story.


Not a big deal to me since this is qualifiers. If it were during the main tournament I would be super raged!!


Ahhh ok. That makes me feel a little better.

loool another batch of weak kespa players send to a foreign tournament... It seems like they don't really care about these tournaments.

Too bad, Cure, TY and Flash in same group hope 2 of them get qualified.

Stork & CoCa for group B!!!

gogo Reality in group D

Group C is like 75% protoss or something :o

#IEM Shanghai KR qualifier signups: top 4 #IEM World Ch. [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

Asked Carmay a few days ago on twitter, ESL pays travel costs for qualifiers, not for invites, so they try to qualify first, to avoid costs and if that does´nt work, may be invited later.

The bracket of the KeSPA qualifier is something to look at, Mini defeating Cure and Flash and Savage going rampage on EffOrt, TY and Mini! Stork beating Argo(Jaehoon) 2-0 is pretty funny as well. And who's this toss eMotion? He beat Terminator and Stats two to zero. Reality qualified without dropping a game, he's on my FPL next season

Foreign tournaments need to grow a backbone and need to stop letting kespa dictate things to them. It's embarrassing.

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.

Why would they? 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.

what did Flash do wrong? It looked like he was playing perfectly for the entire game, then I glance away for one second and look back and it's 170 supply vs 90...

I feel the late Armory is the main culprit here, 10'30 Armory into +2 bio SCV Vikings all-in would have prevailed.



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.

Thanks for tuning in everyone, Zepph and I alongside Nate had some fun casting. Again I do apologise for the wait at the start but unfortunately the Kespa guys were told the wrong time (an hour later...), but other than that things were run really smoothly, thanks to the ESLAdmin and the Kespa manager that we worked with.

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:

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.

Based on what I saw from Bomber vs Flash in Starleague a few days ago Id say Reality is nowhere near as good as Bomber.
