Hopefully, this shows some organizers that there's still an interest in Foreigner vs Korean games. On Twitch alone (dunno how Chinese people watched the tournament, tbh), the showmatches attracted basically the same amount of viewers as the final day of the tournament on average (with the peak being quite a bit lower), which, in my opinion, is a huge accomplishment, considering it's only been show matches. | ||

Also considering it's Easter Sunday and the matches were mostly played in the morning for EU (after the switch from CET to CEST aswell). Honestly, by all accounts the viewer count should have been lower. | ||

The interest in foreigner vs korean had been there forever and will remain until sc2 will have a following. The interest is not in seeing "international" tournaments with an all korean top 8/16 | ||

Well, seeing as two Koreans and two foreigners got 50%, your statement is kind of misleading. So, when they meet in Blizzcon, two foreigners and two Koreans should have 50% win rates. So what's your point? | ||

The point is that stork is a coach and still demolish harstem, the ''champion'' The point is that this was a bo1, without any preparation (which usually vastly favors korean) The point is that 3 of their wins were all ins (2 vs TY, 1 vs DRG) The point is that in a bo5/bo7, koreans will perform way better, because the longer a serie goes, the more it favors the stronger player. Need any other points? | ||

Need any other points? No, those points are all valid. However, none of what you said was conveyed in your original post. The fact that two Koreans and two foreigners have the same winrate doesn't really mean anything. It was what you said in this post that was your meaning But I must say that all-ins do not take away from wins seeing as Parting and Life both are known for their all ins. sOs is a master at weird early games. And yes, mostly likely the Koreans will win, but the thing is, major detractors of foreign Starcraft and WCS say that foreigners are far below the level of Koreans. But we saw foreigners performing well in multiple close macro games along with Harstem beating Byul in a longer game. If foreigners, and the not-as-good ones can take games off of Code A and Code S players, then that bodes well for the best of the foreigners going up against mid-high code A players. Whether you like it or not, stork is still a Code S/Code A player. And we saw puck, a-not-the-best player from NA, which is worse than EU, beat him twice, | ||
