Week 2 and the AM cup has 2 Koreans and 2 Europeans in the semis. Hmm... Well at least Astrea is doing well in Korea.

So is there a reason why most Koreans are skiping those cups? To early in the day maybe?
I don't know how I feel with True winning a Korean cup without playing a single other Korean player.

Oh well, it still give some great games!

Last two weeks there was overlap with the BJ Destruction Match. This week everyone probably got wasted for Lunar New Year. We'll see how the bracket looks next week when there should be no significant overlap with anything. At least the online hero regulars should get involved then.

European brackets for last two tournaments are looking really different compared to last years challengers etc. because Reynor and Serral are missing and Elazer and Lambo are not reaching semifinals.

KR would have been won by a Protoss today but Trap just had to go and lose the PvP to Astrea in the semis. Cursed.

That series was fantastic. Parting's stream was also hilarious after he lost to Scarlett. Played the sad music and lamented his loss and eventually got $100 in donations lmao. He also sang 1000 miles w/ duckdeok which was.. interesting.

I didn't think so, but there have been a few casts from replays. Maybe try asking the admins on Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/eslsc2.

You need to win 50 cups to make up for a 17th-24th/9th-12th differential in GSL

The point distribution is different than for WCS last year (though we don't know all of its details yet including GSL). It's been changed to be less top heavy and also to have fewer points overall, so 50 cups will almost certainly be worth more than that. My guess is that 50 cups should be around the same value as a GSL top 4, but it really depends on how they want to weigh GSL against global events.

Of course when Neeb shows up he's like 'you noobs lol' and wins this *cough* easily.
Also HerMarine in 100% of the EU Cup finals that's not bad at all
Faker is the GOAT!

The year is 2020 and both Astrea and Mcanning have a better seed than every single Koreans in a Korean cup bracket. Trump really did it
