DO NOT! unleash the sheep army. Quoting them is the same as posting them.

Sure, Kerrigan got left behind by Mengsk... but why couldn't she just re-cloak (she uncloaked earlier) and walk away? Zerg had no detection.


I'm sure an overlord was somewhere nearby. Remember, at the time, all overlords were detectors. not sure why they aren't anymore.


They are still detectors of course, it would be silly for them to get weaker over time, the cloaking technology of the terran and protoss just had to improve....and rival zergs decided to burrow deeper into the ground...

That's twitch viewers. There's also the blizzard stream. Also there are like 200k people watching Artosis play Hearthstone lol.


The Blizzard stream and the Twitch one are the same, they have exactly the same numbers.

The main stream/Blizzard stream is very laggy...

I don't see viewer numbers for Blizzard stream...

Wow I really really REALLY can't believe sOs upset three players in a row. Hero, Polt, Bomber. I hope he doesn't upset Maru.


not sure if you're being sarcastic but none of those were upsets


A player with no first place wins in his whole career beats two WCS America champions and the Season 2 champion. I think that's an upset. Also, WCS ranks are everything. sOs is ranked 12, Polt was 4, Hero was 5 and Bomber was 8. All of them are ranked higher than him, therefore have more skill than him. Another thing is that Redeye called him the darkhorse of the tournaments. I'd say that his wins were huge and major upsets.


WCS rank does not correlate to skill, not even close.


Then how did they get to those ranks? Through payments to Blizzard?


They attained those ranks by playing in unequal playing fields of skill. The ranks are pretty much meaningless.


Are you saying in Season 1, a player like Innovation is not more skilled than sOs? Innovation was number 1 at that time. Was that useless? No, it was not. Because Innovation achieved that number 1 WCS rank by skill, therefore WCS rankings determine how skilled or unskilled a player is. If they are not skilled enough to surpass certain players, then they are less skilled than them.

I miss GSL tournaments where the final is set and you can anticipate the final. All WCS has done is trivialize and lower the quality of korean final, and replace it with these stupid global final.

I am sure that WCS have now more than 140k viewers

Still nothing compared to at least 1.5 million for LoL LCS finals.

Currently it was more than 20 millions.


wat

and why do people compare a game with 10-20 times as many players (that's also free to play and easy to learn) to a fairly hardcore game like Starcraft? I just don't get it

They aren't the same, and the Blizzard stream isn't laggy (unlike Twitch's one).

My guess:

People will make a bunch of shit posts about it
JD will win some good prize money
JD will continue playing and go for a win at another my tournament

I've read it on Gamespot. And I agree with you for the second part.
