this is a totally retarded system for moon & lyn -_- uh, no it's not? they got given the choice of either sc2 or wc3 for wcg, and with more chances of winning wc3 thanks to literally zero people playing it now full-time outside of korea, i think they made the right choice.
you are wrong...chinese guys still strong 
but sure they have a higher chance than in the sc2 tournament

They might win WCG Korea, but I'd say a Chinese person will win WCG, pretty standard, a Korean hasnt (edit: ever) won a WCG since ReminD did last year. In fact, no one has ever won a WCG since ReminD did last year. You cant quote my edited version and act like a smart ass, the sentence is clear, only your syntax is misappropriated.
its not clear at all, even with the edit.. 'since' is totally out of place and the wrong word..

I was really hoping that i sleep could fit into my schedule, but it looks like imma have to tell it to piss off
like seriously, between trying to pay attention to the US/ EU scene since my friends stay interested in the foreigner scene, and watching the priority matches (which is of course koreans) i spend a lot of time on sc streams.... and i haaave to watch this.
Really awesome for the players though. Glad to see they have some more opportunities without having to fly overseas. Also hope to see more foreigners coming up to korea, since it's a little less risky to be able to play in multiple tourneys.
overall, great news

When is this happening, by the way?
Will we have an official stream to watch?

WCG 2011 StarCraft 2 online qualifiers will start on August 6.
I'm gonna watch it on OGN and restream it if nobody else is.

they will do very well in this wcg i belive, hardly any competion left out there
|
Will there be a stream for Warcraft at WCG on teamliquid?
Moon,Lyn and Soccer are 'Warcraft III players' from WMF.. I am not surprised they chose warcraft over starcraft since they're paid to play that game and I'm pretty sure they love that game.
Just because Lyn and moon are badass in sc2 you guys think moon and lyn are not practicing wc3 anymore. According to an interview Moon still plays sc2 and wc3 parallel. ( dreamhack )
They will just choose to compete warcraft 3 at wcg rather than sc2.
Everything is still the same. ( F.United won't be hurt that much since they're playing both games now and they're pretty good )
Although I'm pretty sad not seeing Moon playing Sc2 at WCG. 
I don't know how he is in Warcraft III but there must be a reason people call him 'The Fifth Race' and i guess I'll see why.
I know Moon from Starcraft II and am a big fan of him because of his Starcraft II play.
Go Moon!

Wow. Three 14 year olds and even one 13 year old.

Isn't Startail spelt StarTale? Nevertheless, great news, thanks for the information and translation!

If you are interested in some Warcraft 3 matches. You can watch them here. This was a tournament with a lot of the top players (Including Grubby, Lyn and Moon) who are now playing Starcraft 2.
It is casted by RotterdaM (Now casts SC2 on ESL.tv) and ToD (One of the best WC3 players in history).
---
Really looking forward to the SC2 and WC3 games!

We all knew Moon would be playing WC3 at WCG, nothing could stop him from attending the prelims. It's the one major title he's missing and he's said he's not satisfied until he had won it.
|
Can someone give me names of the favorites to win this Warcraft III [WCG]?
Going to watch all their replays in the past 2 months.
Yeah, I watched Grubby Vs Moon finals ( wcg ) and Moon very sad.
|
Didn't know that Moon is still playing WC3 while he was participating in foreign tournaments. :/
|
Virtually every wc3 EU pro has switched over to SC2 already. I'm just guessing that wc3 would probably stick around in wcg for perhaps another 2 years. This is perhaps Moon's last chance to redeem his one lacking achievement.
|
If people are wondering about the shape of moon and lyn on wc3, don't worry. If anything SC2 has helped them.
WC3 is soooo slow paced compared to SC2.
|
since i still love war3 aloooot more than sc2. Moon and lyn decided to play wc3 over sc2 made me really feel goood.
|
Good move by Moon and Lyn imo.

From what I gather, moon and lyn are not participating by their own choice, as they probably have a higher chance of winning WC3.
I tried to translate the article, here goes:
WCG: Moon and Lyn to give up SC2 to focus on WC3
WCG South Korea has received registrations from the 9 teams of the Korean SC2 association, as well as Slayers (Including three 14 year old players on the rosters of the 10 professional teams). This edition of WCG Korea will have be split into an online and an offline preliminary, to decide who gets the right to participate in WCG international.
This edition of WCG Korea will have 8 players who are seeds and can bypass the online preliminary to directly participate in the offline competition. The choosing of the 8 seeds will be based on using their results from SC2 tournaments to calculate the most fair rankings. Amateur players can register from 15 July through the official WCG website (Only masters league and above).
Besides, FOX's Moon, Lyn, and other WC3/SC2 hybrid players will not be able to participate in multiple competitions due to the rules and have chosen to give up SC2 in favour of WC3.
At the same time, Korean television station OnGameNet will broadcast the WCG Korea SC2 qualifiers from September onwards, this is also in accordance with KeSPA and Blizzard's reconciliation. This is the first time SC2 has been broadcasted by a channel other than GOMTV. Hmmm 8 seeds? If its based on tournament performance my speculation is as follows: Nestea MC Polt MVP MKP (won 2 FXO and 3 time GSL finalist) Bomber (won code A, good chance to win this GSL) MMA (MLG win and Super tournament final, plus amazing team league performance) Unsure of the the final player, there are quite a few candidates: Puzzle & TOP(code A winners), DRG (team league performance, LG tournament winner and potential to win this MLG), hongun & byun(if they go further this GSL), Nada(consistency), Puma(NASL winner), July, losira. i'm 99.9% sure they will just take the top 8 of the gsl ranking. Who are they?
1. MVP
2. Nestea
3. MC
4. MKP
5. Polt
6.Nada
7. July
8. San
+ Show Spoiler +Losira and Byun can still make the top 8 with a good finish this season since they are both in the semifinals. Edit::: Originally I said Losira would make it with a top 2. This is incorrect. He and Byun would both have to win this season's GSL to make top 8, so yes, HoseoSan who isn't even in the GSL will probably be a seed
Nestea will most likely move to #1 after this GSL, although he would have to win it in order to receive enough points. He is ~3000 behind MVP. 1st place awards 5000 points. second place awards 2499
The GSL ranking system seems pretty good, but its really skewed at the top. Since San made 2 final 4s hes still way up there. Anypro almost made it to number 8 but hes like 15 points behind. Jinro is still ranked 12.
some other names on the list
11. TOP
13. sC
14. MMA
16. Hongun (I guess he could technically make it in too)
18. Losira
22. Byun
42. Bomber
48. idrA (lol)
Unranked. DRG
