no it's because it's a "partially recognized state"

This Taiwan Chinese Tapei flag looks terrible.

I'd guess Blizzard demands it to maintain relationships with China. It's clearly something the casters have been specifically ordered to do since they correct themselves when they accidentally say Taiwan.

Has finally remembers adepts can shade and completely murders a mineral line. Had he done that minutes ago, the game ends.

Shading on top of the army was also an option. But it wouldn't be Has if he made moves that have sense.

Politically correct Chinese Taipei flag, similar to the one used by them in Olympics.

No full wall from Has. What a scrub.

Now this is what I have been waiting for!!!

Cannon rush into proxy. Has playing his strenghts.

That didn't work well for Has. Luckily, Has always has a backup plan.

Crazy to think that people in international high-profile tournaments are losing to this.

it's not all bad, just enough time to make some food before the revive

Losing because he built a cannon to defend his proxy stargate is such a Has thing to do.

He lost because he had been pooling oracles instead of scouting, because they had been away from his base and because he had misplaced a forcefield, not because he had spent 150 minerals in a wrong spot of the map.
e: and because FFE is garbage

If the cannon is at home, he might have killed enough zerglings and slowed things down enough to get his oracles back home. Of course, he probably loses a minute or two later to the next flood of Zerglings and banelings even if he survives the first attack.

Are they just alternating servers to play on for nation wars? Wouldn't the ping be really bad for some of these cross-region matches?

We pick the middle ground server to make sure both players have no advantage.

I'm very confused about the rules NationWars seems to have. First Chile is DQ'd for not being able to play matches at assigned time. Then Mexico-Denmark play their games before and get casted from replay. Now Brazil is forced to play their matchup at assigned time without their top player. It seems like rules are being enforced sporadically and inconsistently.

The Czech Republic had the same issue last year that Chile had this year. O'gaming is definitely showing bias against the first few letters of the alphabet.

Had Australia beaten UK, you could have some great regional pods instead of random groups.

That tier 4 is pretty darn good.

Group C and D pretty darn good.

South Korea got the easiest group xD.
C and D look like fun watches.
|
Korea vs SpeCial vs Has vs Demuslim
|
Group C looks like the hardest.
Looks like 9 WCS players in the top 3 of the 4 countries.

Link to groups for all who missed it:

Group C is a hard cookie alright....

Nice group for Italy, could've been worse. Snute vs Reynor should be interesting, two nations carried by a single man >
|
Canada8989 Posts
Group C is super stack, group A is also interesting, I feel like both China and Canada could snipe Raynor and Snute with some nice build.
B and D seems pretty straight foward to me, even if Brasil and Ukraine have pretty good teams Finland and Poland are the two best team outisde of Korea in my opinion.

Both TIME and Nice are pretty good foreigners. Macaws...not so much any more. Italy is a one-man team, so if any country gets past Reynor twice, GG.
Norway has probably the strongest single player with Snute. Scythe and Poseidon are decent (around 1.4-1.5K on aligulac).
Canada has 1.4-1.7 range in NoRegret, Jig, and Bioice. However, NoRegret has taken games off of some great Zergs, so they might have a chance with unorthodox builds.
Overall, I'd say China has the strongest total team, with Norway and Italy having very strong one-man teams, and Canada rounding out the bottom with two decentish players and NoRegret, who is kind of a tricky player.

China6330 Posts
China will have to play with 150-200ms ping disadvantage.
|
Korea is tough but I dont think Chinese Taipei nor UK have anyone capable of stoping Major so chances are good.
