That's why Starbow is better.

Starbow is still a thing -.-?

There are tournaments with decent viewership, we have a pretty big Bo7 showmatch on Basetrade coming up. It's not going anywhere, enough people like it. It will never be a massive mainstream thing, but that was never the point.

Oh that's cool. I wasn't trying to sound condescending as I actually like those small communities. Just seemed like it disappeared.


Starbow is that bw elitist thingy, eh?


Not really. Real BW elitists look down upon SC2, Starbow, and League of Legends alike.

you mean the real elitist, that play proleague?

Real elitist only play on Windows 98.

Then I was a real elitist for the bigger part of my life. Win 98 SE is just great

What exactly is lame about that? The 8 Koreans that will be moving on are all significantly superior players than the foreign players that aren't.

Can't understand why people are upset about this.

It kinda kills the whole 'foreigner underdogs' storyline.
And eliminates many players that people would root for.


the thing that sucks about it is that the American players aren't as good as Koreans haha and so we don't get to see our countrymen compete

The upcoming MLG is American only, Ender's Game Tournament was American only. There are American only (or mostly) online cups all the time being streamed.

There's plenty of opportunity to see Americans compete. Just not at the top level. Why? Because they aren't as good. It's the bitter truth of it.

It boggles my mind. People say they want to watch more Americans play and then when they do every LR thread is filled with complaints at how low the skill level in the game is. No shit!

yeah, people want to see Korean skill with American faces. Too bad that just isn't possible right now.

Plus, when there are NA only tournaments, the LR threads are 10 pages long (if they even exist)... People just like to bitch about the lack of foreigners, but when they get the chance to see it, they don't even tune in.

You went from 33 koreans out of 56 to a max of 19. In one season that's much better than expected.

How many Koreans eliminated each other though.


So I checked that just for information, and the answer was "one". Not sure that was the answer you were looking for.


Two. Top beat Violet, Has beat Jaedong.
