Someone correct me if I am wrong. The Kespa teams took a share of prize money in the Proleague days, and unless JAGW changed that policy they still take their cut of their players' winnings IIRC the figure was ~15%. And of course the government will take its share. At a guess the players will actually pocket around 2/3 of the prize money | ||

Game 1: Dark did a ravager push, got a huge lead, unaccountably decided not to kill Maru. Let Maru get up to five bases on Backwater while denying the sixth. Ended up beating raven/ghost by trading inefficiently for 10 minutes when up 8 bases to 5. Game 2: Absolutely bizarre game on Eastwatch where Dark was going for swarmhosts/baneling. Maru was going for mech, and eventually went for some ravens (though they weren't really key), but I can't do this game justice by explaining it. The compositions were rather mental. Game 3: Super-solid marine/tank pushing from Maru, and the most standard game of the series Game 4: A strong Ling/Bane/Muta game from Dark with Maru not watching his army at key moments Game 5: Burrow roach attack wreck all the mineral lines, and from there Dark went for swarmhost/banelings Game 6: Proxy 2-rax Game 7: Proxy 2-rax | ||

Won with the previous proxy, on the cheesiest map possible, he goes for it and wins with it. What a god. Maru staying true to his cheesy roots in the finest tradition of BoxeR. And it seems Dark won 2 of 3 games featuring Ravens. Not so invincible after all. | ||

Yeah, but he also showed great micro against them, especially in the second game. Seeing it reminded me of when DRG finally figured out how to play against INnoVation's widow mine parade push. | ||

And a complete foreign bloodbath when koreans where allowed to compete in Foreign land  GG Gratz Maru ! It was close but Dark's greedyness got the better of him. Now I hope than Dark beat Maru in GSL (and he definitly can if he prepare well) so dark can lose in final against soO. | ||

So what I'm getting from this is that foreigners do better in Korea, and Koreans do better out in the world. I think next year, GSL should be all foreigners, and WCS Global should be all Koreans. | ||
