WCS America S1 was far, far, far, farrrrrrrrrrrr worse.


Almost every award ceremony ever has been far worse.

That was actually really good. Took a page from Dreamhack when Thorzain won, made it fast and intense, and not drag out too long.

Its shocking that JD seems to have more fans than Polt. This guy is studying in the US, learning english, practicing on his own on the ladder, and still winning ridiculously high number of tournaments. He is outclassing other people without the facilities and the infrastructure. He is a real talent!


Polt has a huge fan base- and rightly so- for all the reasons you mentioned.

The majority of Jaedong's fan base comes from how amazing he was at BW- which is also completely justified.

Its not like Jaedong came out of nowhere to suddenly capture the hearts of many people. There is a reason why people have such high expectations for Jaedong, because he was one of the best in BW historically, and people translate their fanboyism for Jaedong across games.

Well, they do have to fight LA traffic, so they kindof have to keep it short if anyone expects to be home by 3am.


No kidding. Traffic going east from Santa Monica on a weekend is a fucking nightmare the likes of which you never want to experience if you don't already live in Los Angeles.

The 10 or 405 are pretty much your only routes home and those are ALWAYS packed with weekend beach traffic coming home.

All base-mineral units scale well with upgrades. Zerglings and zealots benefit greatly as well.

Man, marine widow mine answers alot of threats from zerg. It also feels like zerg needs 5x more apm to deal with widow mines than it is for terran to set them up.

Mines are like invisible low range tanks that shoot air and terrain, how they are not good?

It's shocking to you because you have no idea of his past accomplishments. Plus, some people care less about 'being American' or 'speaking english' than others.

It'll probably be Polt, Maru, and Duckdeok as group leaders, and then the highest points earner as the other top seed, and that being Innovation.

If that's how it goes, whatever group gets Rain or Taeja will be the groups of death.

Yes.

What makes 3/3 marines so deadly is their low initial cost and 1 supply cost. Same is true also for Zealots and Zerglings. The cheaper the unit the more worthwhile upgrading it becomes.

So, of the 16 spots that are currently decided in the finals, currently we have 5 foreigners vs 11 koreans, and 8 Toss, 6 Terran and 2 Zerg. Zerg really need to step it up.

I can't help but think this is one of the downfalls of WCS. Woooooo!!!! hype, hype, hype. it's the finals!!!!!! Winner is crowned, announce their name loudly, then shut it down because it's not really the finals, only one of 9 "finals" leading up to a final final.

This seemed quite abrupt, "your WCS NA season 2 chapion, Polt!" *shut it down!* aaaaaand roll credits

It's like when you wait for an encore from the last band that never comes and your just left standing there awkwardly while everyone else is heading to the exits.

imo marines have two big advantages: the fact they're ranged which means scale really well in numbers and the fact they've such a wonderful synergy with medivacs.
Zest fanboy.

So, I guess Jaedong is now officially JaeKong.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

After 7 isn't the worst thing in the world. It's after 5 that's hellscape traffic.
