Sc2 seems to not be growing nearly as fast (if at all?) in Korea as it is in the west.Just another reminder of the point Milkis made on Lo3 talking about the EG debacle, how Sc2 is struggling in Korea..

+ Show Spoiler + After Maka got through the qualifier they posted winner's interview wit him on playXP. But the answers Maka gave was just really disappointing to say the least. He said things like he didn't practice at all but somehow won all those matches, not sure if he wants to continue progaming stuff, he's more into other games right now, he's living with parents right now and doesnt have a plan to join with team right now cuz he doesn't have the motivation, don't know who's in code A .. stuffs like that. Mostly the tone and nuance was pretty disrespectful of his opponents. Maka is known to do some weird interviews and what not but this just sounded like some bored teen giving short answers and couldn't be bothered to do interview. many people blamed Maka for not being professional and all that. Then another interview of Maka came up on TIG and even though it was an exactly same content, it was done in much more matured tone and one you would normally expect from any pro gamer. So the army of angry netizens who was originally mad with Maka's interview was like WTF is going on? who did this interview with Maka from playXP? and why is it so different? Next day (which is the day 2 of the qualifier), it seemed like the journalist who worked for playXP just quit as no more content was coming up. Honestly I dont know what happened in between but I saw some people apologizing to journalist there. There you have it. | ||

Who knows, but I rather not speculate. | ||

Where will we get our juicy juicy interviews from GSL now? Where will we hear of cute puppies, thoughts of retirement due to wrist injuries, and predictably one sided games? WHERE O WHERE. | ||
