This series is the best case I've seen of an aura beating a man. Flash should be at best 1-2 down yet he's 2-1 up
Flash hasn't had a "aura" in the longest while. In fact, more recently he more viewed as an easier opponent.

This is a beta where people try out new units and stuff. Wins don't matter in the beta...
Morrow has the gall to bitch about his region-locked welfare tournament, he deserved to get ribbed for that. If you think the Winter jab was anything more than that then you're even dumbed than Miniraser.

"foreigners trying" and not getting past the qualifying stage yes. Every week there are qualifiers harder than WCS Worlds for events like IEM. Worlds is Welfare. But isn't the welfare needed? WCS S1 is was a great success and the foreign scene needed that I think. Koreans can still compete there if they live and practice there, which seems fair compared to flying in and out. If Korea's football league wanted to improve, flying German and Spain teams in and out wouldn't really help. If the teams moved there and were available for practice matches all year long that's a different matter though. I think the semi region lock works out really good so far for WCS and seems fair. Korea has double leagues and SPL now, over all the tournament scene seems globally very balanced to me. Eeverything besides WCS Premiere is completely open, only this one tournament has a soft region lock.
For all the talk of how WCS is supposed to be helping the foreign scene it was STILL two Koreans in the final. If anything I'd argue that just set the scene 3 steps backwards

His macro oriented style isn't really compatible with the current meta. I think he may come into his own in LoTV. He is too predictable and stubborn at the moment, I guess he playing to his strengths but as are seeing now players with more diverse strategies seem to be doing better currently.

Let's see which pattern this game will follow :s

Well if you think about it, how many Koreans we had in WCS EU? 16? Maybe? So there was 16 open slots for EU SC2 players(+-, I know some slots went to Africa(PandaTank is the only player I know)). Now we have 10 slots? We don't have 16 for sure anymore. I would say that it's harder now to get into ro32 than before. At least for foreigner from Europe.

underrated post.
anyone who complains about flash pulling the boys is misunderstanding the mu. Why would you sit back and let a protoss mass a deathball when code s is on the line? That timing he hits is punishment for supers style of play.

Tasteless raises a good point. There's no reason to not have repeat maps in a given best of X.
There are a ton of games out there with only one map in the whole game.

However, after paying more attention to his tweets the truth comes out: TB has #passion! Seriously. Occasionally it leads to a few tweets or posts that might not be considered professional... but again, after listening long enough I've realized it's because TB isn't speaking for/about himself. He's speaking out for his TEAM, his PLAYERS, or the CONSUMERS, ultimately US. I don't agree with lot of his words, he's not talking for me.
have you read his non sc2 related tweets?

Super does not get storm (reasonably fast), so pulling is pretty effective yeah

this used to be the case in BW.
all individual leagues had a set standard of only 4 maps, when they reached the Bo5 stage, they'd just repeat the first map for the last map.

People are mostly complaining that Flash doesn't seem to use SCV pulling as one of his tricks but he seems to rely on it.

If he only did because Code S was on the line and was punishing timings then I'd agree but this is Flash, he does in EVERY game. Not just the important ones

Except its not about nationalities... its about them actually living there and practicing there! Not just fly there to pick up money. Its not like 10th team from spanish league flying to Malta every sunday to play league game and winning their league to get into champions league... while still getting money and all advantages of being in spain... They are dedicated for NA or EU and they live there and play there, no problem with that.
