NA ladder #2 vs ladder #3 right?

And Americans complain about WCS changes

When I think about americans having a few guaranteed 4,5k spots. That money is worth dozens of Zotacs and each Zotac is harder to win than an NA qualifier.

Edit: After the first 3-4 spots (HuK, MajOr, Scarlett) are determiend ofc.

Major's gonna be sectioned into the Latin American region, I'm pretty sure. And you didn't count Polt and Violet.

Yes, sure, I'm still not sure, how exactly the required visa work, but Polt will most likely be there. viOLet probably as well, depending on whether or not todays rumors are true. Also forgot, there was a separate Latin american region, in that case MajOr will obviously play there.

Yeah, top-level players would never make mistakes like buiding the wrong unit! They'd just accidentally destroy their own Command Centers on the main stage of the most prestigious tournament in the West.


That was just a SINGLE misclick. Yes, it was incredibly fatal (even though he won in the end), but let's not blow that out of proportion. In this series, both players made a lot of mistakes the entire game. Huk repeatedly missed continuous probe production even though he had the minerals and the intention to do so. His zealots in the second game attacked the rax next to the CC for a good amount of time before engaging the scvs and his warp prism in the third game just did nothing and died.

I use that as the most egregious example. In 2014, a payer who had just made Top 8 in Code S couldn't figure out where the Photon Overcharge button was to save his life. There's a myth that only foriegners make big mistakes. In my experience watching GSL and WCS, Koreans not only make mistakes, they make much bigger individual mistakes. Fewer of them overall, obsolutely, but some of their mistakes are inexcusable for Diamond level on any server.

Why would you shoot two people who are already dead?

I'd steal Hitler's clothes. The Nazis may have had some questionable pastimes, but their sense of fashion was second to none. Saddam looked like the runner up in a bumfight tournament.

This discussion made me think about who the other Latin American qualifier will be. Who IS the second-best Latin American right now? BLord? Cham?

Killer/Fenix coming back from retirement? Maker? Kelazhur? Catz?. Idk, but I doubt, that we will se two latin american players in Season 2.

Edit: Aeromi is right, JimRising is up there, too.

Killer came back during Copa America. I'd say Kelazhur is probably in the best form right now out of anyone we've listed, but I can't tell if that has to do with the maps.

Hellokitty, not Suppy. And he bounced around Copa America, but never made it to the bracket stage.
