This is e-sports. Fans want excitement. Doesn't matter if the map is inconvenient of you have to think out of the box, deal with it. Stork had to. | ||

Please stick around, having translations from a much more SC filled media is amazing! | ||

@Anfere maybe i am ignorant but maybe regarding SC2 i just didn't hear these names. I know some of the names being big with SC but SC and SC2 are two different games. and SC2 has it's own stars already and so i wondered why those names were not on the list. | ||

I only signed up to TL and even I know who most of them are. Seriously, pro-gaming exists outside of the HDH invitational. It also bothers me that it seems like you haven't really been reading this thread, since A) the "dinosaurs" thing is actually the complete opposite of what's going on (there were a couple people in the beginning pages complaining that there WEREN'T BW pros in there, since the selected ARE SC2 pros), and B) "only asians" asked - people already noted that Western gamers were asked in the first couple of pages. | ||

Just because you don't know them doesn't make them nobodies. Also, lots of non-koreans were asked as well, they just haven't told anyone because they were asked not to. Zerg Kim Won-ki (oGs. Cool) Bakoesik (Gerrard.Prime) Yihyeongju (Check.Prime) Cool is a SC Progamer that retired some years ago. Considered one of the best players on Asia in SC2. You may know him as Fruittrader. Gerrard is an ex-WC3 pro. He played in the EU vs Asia matches and won both his games (3-2 vs both Haypro and Nazgul iirc). Check is one of the most old school WC3 pros in the world - he's been at the top level since the original game was released more or less. Also one of the best Zergs on Asia during the beta. Lost 2-3 to Nazgul in the Eu vs Asia games, I don't remember how his other match went. Has several high placements in tournaments. Terran Gimseongje (oGs.NCYellow) Yigwanwoo (Ozil) Yijungheon (DayFly.Prime) Old school SC pro Intotherainbow, one of the better Terrans on Asia, lots of tournament appearances. Dunno Asian scene enough to tell you what he's won. I have no idea who Ozil is, might have a different aka. DayFly is a legendary WC3 player, and has done fairly well in SC2 as well. Beat Hasuobs 3-1 in the EU vs Asia matches I believe. Protoss Seogisu (oGs.sSKS) Jeongminsu (NEXGenius) Hwanggyuhun (oGs.Spunky) Long time SC1 pro and one of the very best players on Asia in SC2. Won one of the first big LANs (the PGR21 LAN I think? Or was it PlayXP hm...), won TL Altitude Invitational. Not sure who Genius is. Spunky is a really, really, really old school SC1 pro and has been one of the top ranked protoss players on Asia throughout the beta. | ||

He was the one. | ||

i don't want blizzard to give europe/us a noob version of the game, so yes i'll let the koreans have a say in balance ahead of unprofessional whiners like idra. | ||

It's always nice to ask for player input, but i think a lot of this players will be biased. I hope they help Blizzard as much as they can though ^_^. | ||

I'm surprised PvP received the most hate out of all of the match ups. It was at least before the tank nerf my favorite to watch of the three mirror match ups. | ||

It's more likely that a small minority of the Korean players invented the new tactics, and those new tactics managed to proliferate everywhere and make the whole lot of other Asian players seem equally as creative and proficient as that small minority, because we make up for our general lack of creativity with the ability to absorb and copy new stuff very quickly. >_> Speak for yourself please. People like you make all westerners think of Asians as mindless automatons. And why is it that every single thread that even mentions the word korean degenerates into a discussion about whether korea will be the best? Why not just wait and see before making your completely unfounded predictions? | ||
