Is it better them being crushed in WCS grand finals even more rather than Europe finals, and not give spot for a bit more capable players that defeated them already? | ||

It's not like there's one a week and it's common to be a champion. Basically it's claiming that a "no-name" Korean = Hasn't won a GSL/ MLG/ DH, which is hilarious because those Koreans can still beat the best (let alone the average) foreigner. | ||

(HerO won NASL) When I see him play a game that passes over the 15 minute mark I might consider giving him a chance but that wont happen so. No this guy is just annoying in all way you can be. He cheese in every game, has the most retarded nick in e-sport history, is in general one out 100+ Korean SC2 players I can switch around in interviews cause they all talk/behave the same and with his 100% cheese style he managed to knock out every fan favorite player. | ||

Its fine watching them get stomped in finals as a reminder of who the best country at starcraft is. It is a little sad that they don't make it that far to get stomped though. | ||

It so happens that skill and good play is a big part in soccer, just as it is in Starcraft, but soccer storylines and narratives established over an in comparison extremely large period of time. Starcraft does not yet have the readily available abundance of storylines, which is why many people obsess over "personality"; they want a way to connect to foreign players or players they don't know. If you think the viewer count would be the same if we didn't know who was playing, you're very mistaken. If you think "level of play" is the only thing that matters in sports as a whole, you're very mistaken. Why do you think people cheer for their own countries and go out of their way to watch objectively inferior teams play when for example the World Cup is on? Why do people cheer for -insert small British team- instead of Manchester United? Because those are the teams they support, the teams they care about. Skill plays a role, but it's not the sole deciding factor in who watches what. I think it's really sad when people complain about Koreans supposedly "lacking personality" because they all have (except a very select few such as Innovation) personality and interesting storylines, but they aren't as accessible. Why are more foreigners watching WCS EU than watched WCS KR earlier today? Slightly uncomfortable answers, I know, and it's kind of sad to think about, but that's the way it is. uhh I agreed with you up until the last point. One BIG reason that WCS EU has more viewers than WCS KR (is this actually fact?) is because WCS KR finals took place at like 5am US eastern and like 2am US west. WCS EU started in the morning in america so more people are going to wake up and watch. | ||

Really? I say NASL was pretty lackluster last week | ||
