Just got home. Lol Jaedong lost to HuK? What? It is a strange day in Starcraft, some kind of eclipse or allignment of planets has rendered Koreans unable to win. Eh, considering who's waiting for these guys in the Group stage I really don't think it matters in the long run if some kind of strange celestial event is happening today. If this shit continues into tomorrow? Then I'll start flipping some tables. Why? The day when foreigners have progressed in their training and habits to consistently compete with the Korean superpowers is something we've longed for since Starcraft came onto the competitive scene. "Consistently compete" is the key phrase. A couple upsets in a single tournament featuring KESPA players does not qualify. I will admit that European foreigners in particular have gotten pretty damn good at fighting the Koreans that most commonly show up in events like Hyun, Stardust and jjajki. But to think that Snute or Huk can go toe to toe with GSL Koreans consistently? I don't see it. Foreigners overperform in tournaments like this where you can't prepare for opponents since they mostly play ladder and underperform in WCS and GSL. Same with Koreans who don't live in team houses and mostly ladder like Taeja. So it mostly just depends on the tournament.
I'm aware of this trend, it explains why WCS is even more Korean dominated than most foreign tournaments are.
Which makes the fact that Blizzcon uses the weekend format when WCS Seasonals use the GSL format all the more confusing.

Fionn pls, CJ blaze gets knocked out of OGN and doesn't make regionals and the first thing you do is rebound to SC2. From what I was told, CJ Blaze is basically being a Bomber fan.
I have no idea if that's true, but I might watch League during sc2 downtime if that's the case. Have to get my fix

okay forget that I ever said canceled warpins should put gateways onto cooldown. x.x

Gameheart needs to find a way to effectively highlight observers, I get sick of squinting for thme to determine if SH are safe.
this is a good idea, probably could be done similar to stronger colors, I think that works for spectators without forcing it on the players
