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

whats gonna happen if JD gets another second finish?


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

The JD never gives up, never surrender until he becomes bonjwa again.

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

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.


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.

So blizzard realizes that they should get rid of WCS or make sc2 FTP? 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
