It is likely but I wouldn't could out the mind-diminished bonjwa, TIME(his chinese nickname sounds like this and I find it hilarious); Maru is largely favored but TIME's TvT can't be underestimated.

There are many interesting games that I'm eager to watch but definitely not many NA players, not even the top seeded ones xD

NA got rekt properly by KR I see?

Poor fucking TY tho :/ hard MU or he plays bad nowadays?


TY randomly loses sometimes. He is very good recently times but definitely not consistent if we exclude TvT!

That bracket has some great matchup: SoO-Scarlett, INno-Maru incoming and herO-Neeb into maybe herO-sOs

Scarlett shape is not the best lately and Neeb seemed stronger than herO in 2018. SpeCial-Stats is theorically more interesting, to me.

Ya, this just makes it harder for NA and gives EU more chances for up and comers.

They really should’ve done KR qualifiers first so fewer Koreans would be playing NA.

Our top 8 from NA open qualifiers:
+ Show Spoiler +
Stats, Soo, Zest, herO, Maru, Innovation, Patience, sOs

What about Korean up and comers? If KR goes first then no point in even trying, you'll get Innovation in the first round. And every player can play on every server - the NA guys actually have an advantage in this regard since Neeb and Scarlett have homes in Korea and NA.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

I've been told by knowledgeable forum posters that there aren't any korean up and comers.

Up and comers? Such as? I looked at the list two days ago and I don't remember there were any.
Korean scene is not as large as it used to be, but almost every korean left is a top notch player.
Even if there were more up and comers, if not Maru or Rogue, the likes of Cure or Impact would deny them a qualifier spot.

Koreans have two qualifiers, giving any Koreans, old or new, 100% more opportunities to qualify on home turf than any upcoming EU or NA guy.
