As far as the players concerned, Byun's run was more impressive today. Just my opinion. Nercio's was also impressive, undoubtedly. Great games, thank you TB.

lol is that a joke? Ryung was in Ro4 in gsl and has been wrecking zergs this last few months, and myungsik has consistantly shown this year that he can beat any top player. Maru may be in a bit of a slump but his TvZ has always been world-class. Rogue is in a similar spot as maru, but never really fell off in ZvZ and has beaten the two best zergs in the world in the last 2 months.

Honestly I can't remember a foreigner ever delivering such a great performance against top level koreans, maybe scarlett and stephano at their peaks but the sheer amount of back to back top koreans Nerchio just took out is unprecedented.

Ryung was ro 8 afaik and hasn't got an especially good TvZ?
Such a great performance what? MLorD's one was better imo, especially since stakes were higher.
Do you really compare online bo1 to the offline performances of Stephano and NaNi? (You said Scarlett but she isn't top 2 foreigner goat so why bother)
His TvZ has been world class but it proves my point that it's easier for zergs to upset terrans than the contrary, not much more.
Myungsik potentially beating top players doesn't make beating him a particularly nice feat.
Aligulac wise, ByuN streak is indeed better, I don't see how it is a problem :o.

Yeah apart from ByuN and the code A terran Nerchio had not many scary opponents, since JAGW are free wins outside of proleague (jk). Myungsik is meh-meh but he had good results recently tho...

Stopping the streak of ByuN and killing 7 other players including koreans right after a ballsy interview is amazing tho :D. Gratz ByuN, Nerchio and of course MaNa.

Hopefully people will stop treating foreigners as shit/pushovers from now on until Blizzcon. Of course they are globally better, but foreigners are catching up with the new WCS system, as well as koreans worsening due to new wcs system/lack of money&competitions as well as the reduced player base in KR.

I missed quite a lot of games but even reading liquipedia was hype as fuck with the insane streaks, thanks again TB and all the people involved making such events happen. Thanks as well to the casters that enhance the competition with their casting and that put the hours necessary to cover that much StarCraft (other events included).

lol. Let's stop pretending that Totalbiscuit's Bo1 tournament is anything more than pure entertainment, Bo1's mean nothing as far as who is better is who arguments and it should remain that way.

This kind of discussion ruins the pure fun factor of what the Shoutcraft Kings tournament is all about. Nerchio will get his chance at Blizzcon and KESPA Cup to show just how far he has or hasn't come. Stop using this tournament to indicate anything, we'll get to see some real shit soon.

I'm glad we have finally come to terms with Maru not being a top player.

Winning a bo1 is meaningless but winning 8 in a row shouldn't just be discarded as nothing.

Cause we all know that if Nerchio had lost in one game, we'd be talking about how bad foreigners are.

I agree that bo1 don't mean very much, so Neeb losing in one game isn't indicative of much or Nerchio winning isn't as big as winning against prepared Koreans, but it is annoying when people act like they're right about the foreigner level when foreigners lose in these events, but when foreigners win, they're like, "it doesn't mean anything."

Exactly. Also, if a foreigner wins, Koreans are always laggy or jetlagged or tired or something. If a Korean wins it's "OMG FOREIGNERS SUCK AND ALL EXCUSES ARE NULL AND VOID"
