It's a bit sad there is no loser bracket tho, herO and Serral had potential.

Pretty easy to get a bunch of players listed when you have underdogs qualifiers every other day, to be fair

The only foreigner vs Korean 0-3 was iAsonu vs Inno which on paper is the most one-sided match in the Ro16 That's TY vs. Scarlett. iAsonu just got out of a GSL style group by beating the two most recent GSL champions. Scarlett ends GSL style groups in last place with a single win.
Scarlett's stronger against Terran in straight-up games than iA, and TY isn't as strong against Zerg as Inno is.

It's amazing how you did not seem to notice that out of those 3 "stomps": - 1 was KR vs KR - 2nd was LatAm vs LatAm - 3rd was fucking INnoVation playing a Zerg Liquipedia lists country flags for all the players, Koreans are the ones with a white rectangle and a blue/red circle in the middle (not to be confused with Japan which has a full red circle and no symbols in the corners of the flag)
I'm kind of considering Major to be an adopted Korean like how America adopted Polt.

In Starcraft, you don't have to play straight-up if you don't want to, so the only thing that matters is results. iA has beaten a top terran recently. Scarlett has not.

That's not convenient at all.

On another note, if this is supposed to be GSL vs the World, why did herO have to play Stats? They're both in GSL. Was it the way the groups were seeded?

8 players were seeded and Gyuri drew their opponents at random.

Unfortunate for Serral, ByuN's ZvT is maybe weakest it's been in a while due to the reaper nerf. I thought he had the best chance of any foreigner to beat a korean
Also, herO is confirmed a scrub who only wins tournaments off PvT bullshit hehe

Alright Neeb, you know what's left to do now.

Yeah I don't get why people even dare to think that there is only one true way of playing or whatever.
I find mech boring for both players in TvT but if you want to win enough to bore yourself to death you are free to do so, it just requires a different skillset than standard bio.
MoMaN is a bit of a cheeky & cheesy player but he often has the mental edge against ToD even when the latter is better.
Being able to play a style to such high level is what matters, not which style is it.

See this is an odd year so sOs will win Blizzcon, so he needs to win GSL to qualify. Since he's focused on GSL he can't focus on GSL vs the World, which means Neeb has a higher chance. Everything is connected!

Yes, everything is connected. Always when sOs was standing against the wall and was not qualifying for BlizzCon, his wake up call was always a tournament with foreigners, which he has won. Since that moment, he was winning everything.

It's too bad our only foreigner in Ro8 will be from 100% bracket luck in getting a foreigner opponent -_-
