Thing is, constant engagement from one direction is more beneficial to the terran than the zerg.

It wasn't crushing but asides from the last game, I think Polt was in the lead and doing really well in most of the games. Too bad that Jaedong wasn't able to take a game off him. I feel that it really must've hurt his mentality >< | ||

I thought JD was in control that Neo Planet S game. I watch way too many Polt games and he was uncharacteristically sloppy that game in comp. | ||

User was warned for this post Reading and writing English (or any language) is a lot different than speaking it. | ||

Foreign viewers for WCS KR was around 30-40k iirc As usual we have no idea about gomplayer, Korean streams, and Korean TV. Not a stretch to say they would eclipse EU/AM combined. | ||

Not a stretch to say they would eclipse EU/AM combined. foreign numbers for korean wcs is very insignificative since they do not rely on it for funding or something like that.i would actually like to see the ratings of ogn during the osl final(aka television viewership).I know they are hard to find and only television stations receive them form the viewership measurement company but sometimes tv personalities like to show off on their blogs with the viewership they have.Maybe someone in korea can track down such personalities or ask a korean personality with a blog or online presence about the tv viewership situation for sc2 in korea.And i know for certain they brag with their numbers.in romania they always do and i have seen some usa news stations such as fox news and msnbc do the same thing.Someone somewhere must know how many koreans watched ogn during the osl final If the viewership for wcs eu of 70k is correct it is a bit of a dissapointment compared to last years 120k but last year it was more stacked with fan favourites and more foreigners compared to this year .This is the effect of mass korean dominance into europe wcs am had constant viewership despite better production value form nasl. | ||

Also, only 3 koreans in top 8, so it's not that bad, it only forces the local scene to become better. | ||

I think they don't call it that anymore because English is not necessarily the 2nd language. UK changed it to EAL since around 8 years ago, English as ADDITIONAL Language | ||
