Well, I've never heard "Canadia" before, but it is close to Acadia, which some region of eastern Canada used to be called. I remember it from social studies

Acadia was basically french north america before the british took it over. All Quebecois have "Acadian" heritage. although it refers to a region. Canadia was actually termed by historians as a possible variation on the Huron word "Kanata" which was then Changed by the explorer Jacques Cartier to Canada, on what is now Quebec City. Canadia isnt just a internet phenomenon. The more you know.

Its because we're called Canadians. Remove the ns, and you have Canadia.

why would anyone want it to be like that bush league? Didn't they allow players to play more than once even when they lose and it wasn't an Ace match? I mean come on now. If you're going to compare it to anything compare it to Winners League or All-Kill in the GSTL. lol Because it lessens the chance of the series going 4-0 if a the best player on the losing team can be revived adding more excitement. I think it's a great idea. No, it shows the weakness in a teams line-up. The old homage: you are only as good as your weakest player comes to mind. If a team is going to get spanked. So be it. You learn much more by losing. That's why it's in the best interest to recruit players you can develop. What do you know! EG have Xeno and Suppy (who also helped set this up). Two relatively young guys who haven't reached their personal ceiling yet when it comes to SC2. That's good for business.

I wish this was a bo7 all-kill format with an ace player like Acer TeamStory. It wouldn't be a very good showcase of national players if one guys ends up all killing. all-kill is fine for leagues but doesn't make sense as a showmatch. It also doesn't allow you to showcase your entire team. I like Jaedong as much as anyone else, but come on. Let's not make it the Jaedong show. It doesn't give the rest of the team good exposure at all and this is why I like the fact we only have 2 rounds of winner league in the PL. How the heck are you supposed to scout players without it? You really can't and that leaves the betters in the dark.
I see your point, but if it goes 3-0 in regular format then you still don't get two see two players from both teams. Also the problem for me with regular format is that you often end up with too many mirror matches as both teams tend to send out the race strongest for each map. Winner's league format is more unpredictable and thus, for me, more exciting.
Also it's not like winner's league always ends up with an all-kill by one player- I've seen some great back and forth series in the past with players from both teams taking turns eliminating each other and, without Scarlet playing, I don't see anyone that likely to all-kill on either team in this match-up.
Anyway, I think both formats have their good and bad points. The ideal for me would be if they could play a series of each, and then an ace match for decider if needed.

In the desolate, frozen tundra of the far north lies the fabled realm of Canadia, home to the rugged and savage Canadans, a fierce and proud warrior people, famed and dreaded in equal measure for their frequent raids on the verdant lands to the south. Now Winter is Coming, and the time has come for the Canadan warbands to mount up and move south to pillage and plunder yet more wealth.
Though the coming onslaught of Canadans stands poised to wash over the peaceful lands of USA, home of the USAns, in a tidal wave of blood and maple syrup, five warlords of grim repute stand apart from their peers.
First among equals is HuK, a mysterious wanderer who will strike with lethal precision and peerless timing, only to suddenly disappear for great lengths of time.
Joining him is Kane, a Canadan champion of fearsome strength, like HuK he is a winner of the ancient tournament of Shoutcraft America, won through blood, sweat and carpal tunnel.
Also drawing their blades in common cause with these august warlords are Hendralisk, Masa and Desrow the Circumferent, aspiring chieftains in pursuit of glory and riches.
But fear not USAns! Brave champions of light rally to protect the shores of freedom from the barbarian horde!
Ever in the thick of the fighting, we find Suppy, young, brash and all but unparalleled in battle, he stands as the brightest star, the favoured son.
With him are the two stalwart terrans, Xenocider and QXC, Crusher of Keyboards, as well as the renowned Goswser, known to lull entire armies to sleep with the power of his voice alone.
Last to join the newly christened Guardians of Freedom is Hitman, a shadowy assassin about whom little is known. Stories tell of how he once defied one of the terrifying Canadan warrior deities, a being of almost incomprehensible power, a feat few mortals could hope to replicate. Surely such tales are exaggerated, but the forbidding gaze of this silent death-dealer has quelled the voice of many a brash warrior who would dispute this claim.
The fate of America hangs in the balance, and the coming battle will decide whether freedom and apple pie shall prevail, or if all the lands shall fall under the shadow of mounted bailiffs. To arms, ye brave USAns, fight until the last drop of blood, show them no mercy for none will be shown to you! Why do people keep calling us that? o.O Please elaborate. Changing our name to "Canadia." I'll admit that it sounds cooler, but is there some actual etymology besides "eh. Why not?" Well, I've never heard "Canadia" before, but it is close to Acadia, which some region of eastern Canada used to be called. I remember it from social studies I never heard that before in my life either. Or people calling them Canadans.. Acadia was basically french north america before the british took it over. All Quebecois have "Acadian" heritage. although it refers to a region. Canadia was actually termed by historians as a possible variation on the Huron word "Kanata" which was then Changed by the explorer Jacques Cartier to Canada, on what is now Quebec City. Canadia isnt just a internet phenomenon. The more you know.
I think I might have learned about that back in grade 7 which was over seventeen years ago. How time flies! O_O Still I cannot recall anyone else saying Canadia or Canadan to me ever, It just sounds so weird.

Well Canadia is missing both Scarlett and Maximusblack, so they are going without their two top players.

Canada still actually has stronger players than most countries outside of Korea.
Like...let's see...Germany has a stronger lineup, China probably has a stronger lineup but it's hard to tell when they play online tournaments with horrendous lag, Australia could...probably give Canada a fight, but I'd give the edge to Canada I think. Similarly for Russia--would be close, but I think I'd give Canada a slight edge in this format. Sweeden of course is very good. And...hm, actually Ukraine also has a pretty scary lineup; not sure which country is better there.
Point is, Canada is arguably in the top 5 countries in terms of teams we can field. Which isn't bad given that Canada has a smaller population than many of these countries. (Smaller population than South Korea too, for what it's worth). Obviously the lineup is going to look a little worse without Scarlett, though.

Maximusblack. Top player. Sure. maybe if the game is cheesing better opponents, and even then hes outclassed by hitman.

Team Russia is basically team Happy+TitaN T_T
Happy is undoubtedly the best foreign terran, he has stellar control but his decision making needs work.
TitaN can PvP out Canadian protosses.
Other than that I have no idea
Team Ukraine might have DIMAGA, Strelok, Bly, fraer, and HappyZerg.
Looking better than Russia but with three zergs ready to be sniped
You forgot team Poland. MaNa, Nerchio, uzer, TEFEL, and finally Tarson are decent polish players

But he has lots of viewers on his stream, and I see him winning all the time and he is so funny, how is not a top player?
Anyway, any news on whether Hitman is still in this thing after being a giant dick to Bomber for no apparent reason?
