Since when is an online qualifier considered a premier tournament in and of itself?

Edited.
And I'm not saying that this qualifier is a premier event, I'm saying that it's of comparable level - which is due to the representation and overall prize pool at the end.

People arguing if Soulkey is the best and most consistent player right now? You guys forgot about RorO already? :S

I agree, Roro is quite clearly a very good and consistent Zerg

How long is that lost bet still going?

In the context of balance I would say that the only meaningful thing is the quality of players, if you can assume they are all playing 100% to win. Thats why I could agree to call this a premier tournament in such a discussion. Just look at the number of players who are top level.

Korean tosses have always (and I do mean *always*, never forget how Creator and Squirtle among many others got started) done very well in online qualifiers and events and for the most part have failed to deliver in the actual main tournament. But whatever, infer what you want, it's no use discussing balance here.

Then isnt it better to base the discussion around matches that are played when both players are comfortable, rather than situations where one player has huge nerve issues that have nothing to do with balance or the game?

I don't think the 'failed to deliver in the main tournament' has been the case for about six months now. If we look at this tournament, it's Parting and Sora again, who did well at previous events they attended.

Because they're good players?
I guess Terran was broken too back when MMA and Mvp were winning tournaments... -_-
If things really were as broken as you so desperately try to suggest then we would have random Protosses winning instead, people who were completely mediocre beforehand, edging out better players. Instead we have PartinG and Sora, who are fucking good and have been fucking good for a while.
