And those 6-7 lesser Koreans have all shown they can compete with best at Blizzcon and back in Korea this year and they sure as hell showed much better games than what we've seen this week. The highlight of WCS this year was Polt vs Hydra, other than that it's been a wet noodle fight to see who gets crushed at the end when the Koreans remember that they're much better. I'm sorry but I really can't see how that's better than what we saw last year Yes, all of what you said, and having a tournament that people actually care to watch. If a foreigner reaches the finals the viewers will be double. That is my definition of the foreign scene doing well. I mean, don't get me wrong the tournament needs Koreans or it doesn't feel legitimate. Even if they are lesser ones. But they need to be dropping series/being upset for it to be entertaining. | ||

Welp, dammit, I guess that's a part of sports. Feeling bad when your team loses. Okay, so.. let's go Hydra. :D Bring the happy back. | ||

Lilbow and Hydra have already been there, they'll handle it just fine. | ||

But MAYBE he loses the ro8. The only way Polt loses in the ro8 is if ForGG makes it out of group D and TvTs Polt | ||

And if the only thing you find entertaining in sc. is foreigners beating Koreans then frankly I'm impressed you've hung around this long given it barely ever happens | ||
