You guys have it all wrong. Everyone here automatically assumes that the Korean bosses are coming over to stomp all of the foreigner players. But you are wrong......

Clearly the writing is in the stars for this. Fate is upon us. A Korean will not be winning the tournament..

Who will win then you ask? I don't know.

But the stars are starting to align and I assure you it will be a North American player winning. His name will not be Idra, or HuK or Stephano or any of the other big names we have all known to come. Our champion will be a unknown player. He will rise from the open bracket playing his heart out every match. Competitor after competitor will fall to our new champion.

I can see it now.... Our champion has just finished slaying Idra to move on to face MVP in the grand finals. The crowd is jarring with mixed emotions, some are sad to see that Idra has been eliminated and have lost hope for a foreigner victory, but most are eagerly awaiting for the final match.

The first game begins, the crowd is nervous..MVP is playing well, but our new champion is going toe to toe with the final boss of Korea. After a close back and forth game our new champion comes out victorious, and makes MVP GG out of the game. The crowd goes wild.

After winning the 2nd game in a godly fashion MVP has been able to come back to tie the series 2-2. Things are looking grim. But in game 5 our new champion shows a strategy that has never been seen before and takes the game, taking a 3-2 lead in the series. MVP is frustrated, he looks over at the other booth in amazement. He came into this finals thinking this would be a cake walk but suddenly realizes our new champion is no joke.

Game 6 is upon us. The crowd is still buzzing after the magnificant game play showed to us by our new champion. MVP is playing great in the sixth game with drops and harassment every where. Our new champion is barely holding on. The late game is upon us and MVP has a slight lead, our new champion has just lost his expo and is preparing for his last and final push. Both players are maxed out and most will come to say that MVP had the better army composition. But with resilient play and never before seen micro our new champion arises to crush MVP's army forcing the GG WP out of MVP.

The crowd bursts into cheers of joy, some tearing up knowing that they have just witnessed something truly epic. Our new champion comes running out of the booth to meet his family who has rushed the stage with tears of joy streaming down their face they meet in the middle of the stage and embrace each other, smiling, laughing, crying.

This will begin the end of foreigners be foreign. And SC2 will become main stream in NA/EU it is fate.




You have quite the imagination.

Are you kidding me? Goodness gracious.

So, I can see the entire top 16 full of Koreans. Top 16 at the very least. Could be the top 20 for all we know. Only Idra and Huk would be the exceptions.

From what I saw out of Idra last event, it seems he's turned a corner. Maybe not that huge corner to beat players like Nestea and MVP, but we've seen him beat some very good players. I can see him in the top 8 again if he keeps focused. It helps that he has an extreme advantage because he's the number one seed. He's also at a disadvantage of course so it works like a double edged sword. Still though, he's gotta be happy with how many byes he's got.

HuK beat MC twice, MarineKing, TheStC, and July. That's a pretty tough lineup to beat in order to get first. Now with even more great players, players that are even better than the ones mentioned above, it'll be much harder. HuK is the only foreigner I can see winning this event. Unless Idra somehow becomes Super Gracken, HuK has the best chance out of any foreigner. Even then, it's a bit of a long shot. Gonna be crazy.

this makes a lot of sense, I don't think it would have been worthwhile for Nestea or MVP to come to other MLG's with such a small prize pool. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it won't be a Nestea MVP finals though. MLG format has so many best of 3's that I think one of them gets tripped up by either a korean or a top foreigner. I think only one of them will be in the finals.

NesTea and MVP are both going to have to go through the open bracket while IdrA, HuK, NaNiwa and MMA can set pretty at the end of the championship bracket and wait for their worn-out prey to finally arrive.

lol with this news....slasher should rekindle his "no foreigner will win tourney" mantra......Definitely one of these two, if not another Korean, will win.

The open bracket seems like a fucking hell hole though. It's what scared Thorzain away from future MLGs if I recall correctly as he couldn't eat for the entire event as he never knew when he was supposed to play and couldn't leave the place. He eventually got thrown a burger or something by some fan. All of this is from my memory so I'm not too sure about the fine details, but it was something along those lines. I read it in his fanclub a while back.

I wonder if Nestea and MVP can take the pain and still play their best? Perhaps the open bracket is more under control nowadays, but you never know.

Well, if a foreigner can take it we'll know that the gap has truly been closed by the foreigners!
Whoever wins though this is great news for the growth of worldwide SC2 and whoever wins it will be an epic event!

Nestea to MLG. There goes our money

Nah, hopefully Huk/Idra have another great run and can destroy some kids.

NaNiwa's going to Providence as well right?
He's also a dark horse in the top of the champion's bracket who could possibly take out a tired Nestea who's gone through hell in the open bracket, considering NaNiwa's always been beastly PvZ.
I mean none really knows how good he is at the moment. Also all players are atleast somewhat inconsistant and can have a bad day (as you might've noticed laddering ), and MLG is a completely new experience for atleast Nestea.

I think we could potentially have a foreigneir top spot if they have some luck in the bracket with top Koreans eliminating eachother, and a very tired one goes up to the final.
Is the bracket official yet?
