So I just had a thought regarding Marty's words on NASL and Koreans. Something to the effect that it doesn't matter what Koreans do in a NA tourney on NA servers. Lemme post the top two leaders in each division since those are the two guaranteed to advance to Ro16. Not sure if you know this but the competitors advance based onpoints, not W/L record.
And points are determined by taking every win as a positive point and every lose as a negative point.
So going 2-0 in a match earns 2 points.
While going 2-1 earns 1 point.
And 1-2 earns -1 point.
That's why some players are at -10 (Artosis),-11 (Grubby,QXC),and -12 (Painuser) points as of this post. Cause they aren't good. Or to use what should be your show's tag line, "They are SOOOO BAAADDD."

D1: Morrow(7), Kiwikaki(7)
D2: July(9), Sjow(5)
D3: Squirtle(8), Strelock(4)
D4: Select(10), Ret(8)
D5: Sen(10), Boxer(7)

D1 is still a tight race, and still open for others to take the top spots. Moon could work his way into the top 2 for the division with some help along the way. He doesn't control his own destiny.

D2 has July at 9 points with the Sjow the closet to him at 5 points. Wrap up this division. July advances. Second place in division is up for grabs.

D3 is another blow out. Squirtle is at 8 points with Strelock at 4 points. Again second is up for grabs. Nada is right behind Strelock; and if Strelock drops some matche's in a game he could lose points and drop behind Nada as long as Nada 2-0 his opponents.

D4 sees Select (10) and Ret(8) sitting comfortable at the top of the leader board.

D5 is the "Group of Death" in this comp. Sen (10), Boxer (7) are the top; but 3rd belongs to Zenio(6), and 4th to Idra(5). These are all Koreans right?

So as it stands now 4 out of 10 are Koreans.

Also another thing to keep in mind is that 12 of 16 are Non-NA players, as ranked by total points.

While this is called the North American Star League, only Select has a chance win and represent NA proper.

So as it stands now 4 out of 10 are Koreans.

Actually I was technically wrong.

Sen is Taiwanese. So it's 3/10. But that still doesn't matter. NASL is still a non NA star league. Cause we have no world league stars, unfortunately. Let us hope someone rises to the challenge. And let his name NOT be Huk!!!
