I think they should partner with MLG more to make the true World Championships. | ||

I think they should partner with MLG more to make the true World Championships. MLG basically is a World Championship | ||

More Like Monthly WC - Minus most EU players. but its about to change i think. Also, the most cool thing about WC was Korea vs World . Would be interesting to see same now. Imagine best 7 players of EU(White-ra, Dimaga, Kas, Nani, Thorzain, Stephano etc), NA (HuK, Idra, Kiwi) , and Sen  . Foreigners and Koreans raised many stars that would be interesting to watch. | ||

I really hope we can get more of these team Foreigner vs team Korea tournaments, regardless of who organizes them. | ||

I think something like the Blizzard Cup (but more extended, i.e. bo3 group stages, and the rest bo5 with bo7 finals) is a better "world championship". | ||

So this may not be as impressive as it looks on its face. And the fact koreans literally treat that set of showmatches as ...showmatches. When the real tournament started for that event all the koreans won except nestea vs dimaga. I for one am glad they are removing that side event, its not really epic. | ||

Q: Just recently you lost to White-Ra’s warp prism tactics in the GomTV World Championship team match. Did this affect the way you prepared for your TSL game? For instance, you removed Shakuras plateau from the map pool… It didn’t matter. During the team league I was trying to lead my opponent into being careless, so I didn't use 100% of my skill. | ||

He played hard and lost, then he prepared better for white-ra's taktiks in TSL and won. Doesn't detract from grampa toss' victory here. | ||

So I doubt he "prepared hard" for that specific match even if he wasn't purposefully slacking during it. | ||

San going carriers for one and MVP going for BC? Also did you not read some of the korean interviews after that event, they didn`t take those serious as the real tournament was coming up against the same players but with an actual prize attached. Then we started seeing them play completely serious and stomp the foreigners with more standard play. Everyone knows koreans don`t play serious during Showmatches. For example those set of all-star matches before one of the GSL`s (MVP vs TOP) http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=263985 | ||

Also yes that game was FUCKING INTENSE that level of micro was epic. As progamers (who are only managing 1 base lol) they really have no excuse to micro any worse than that. I hope we still get to see those kinds of early game aggression PvPs. I know it's boring to see like 4 gate from both players all the time, but now we are seeing PvPs get to the midgame better with less all-ins and such, but I hope we'll still see these short and epic games once in a while. Also yeah good point MLG is basically the world championship. No Super... I guess the super is a little like the blizz cup anyways, and they also have the AoL now for the top players. Also no WC  but yea MLG is pretty good at that I guess. But it's cool seeing foreigners vs Koreans but I guess that's not the point, there needs to be more diverse pool of players. | ||

Koreans and how it is a shame to lose to foreigner and how this is carried from SC1? Its said to see foreign progamers fight best koreans and best players in the world and then someone like you comes up and says: "Oh he wasnt serious. Doesnt count. | ||

Doesnt count. actually i'm pretty sure there's a consensus that koreans don't give a shit about showmatches. Just look at the SOTG after the showmatches before the top-mvp final. Artosis, day9, everyone ranting about how koreans never play to win in showmatches. I mean, do you really think MC cares that much about this showmatch when he has a chance to play him in a real set soon after? | ||
