I don't understand Hearthstone but I think Artosis might be about to win based off the cast

SC2 too strong, even the casters winning tournaments in other games.

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. TIL Mvp is better than Life
Life is one of the few exceptions. He is a student and a part time pro gamer. In fact, he is a high school student in South Korea, one of the hardest things ever with tons of societal pressure. People even kill themselves over like -1 point. Life just happened to focus on school at the time of the WCS KR matches.

It doesn't determine skill. Because the most skilled doesn't always win. The most skilled in fact, cannot achieve a win rate above about 70% of individual match ups. Their odds of winning a 32 or 16 man tournament even if they are the best are remote. There is a lot of variance in SC2. If a player with a 70% chance of winning loses to someone with 30% chance does that make the 30% player "better"? No of course not, that is an absurd and twisted use of the term better. He was better in that single game, but not more skilled or better in general.

I mean 90k viewers for the biggest event of the year, compared to League's 140k with no tournament. 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 LoL is hardly easy to learn. You obviously haven't played enough. I've played a good 1200 games thank you ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
