Game 2: Both players played straight up, Bomber won easily (Idra early gged)
Game 3: Bomber went something stupid like 8 rax no gas (i.e no stim, combat shields etc.) for the first half of the game and just got further and further behind and eventually got run over

Happy he could get exposed that much

Foreigners that want to compete in the GSL should qualify, just like Koreans. And the same goes for Koreans wanting to play in MLG Nope wrong bbzzzt fail you lose gg no re. None of the big name GSL players have been edged out because of foreigners. what about no-name but deserving players that should be in the tournament, but aren't because there obviously isn't an infinite amount of player slots available and foreigners are undeservedly occupying a number of these slots...? Too bad there aren't any qualifiers to get into Code A and literally every code A spot goes to foreigners, this is racist, they literally let zero koreans into Code A and it's their own country! AUGHHHHH
what? There's an offline qualifier with 20 spots.. or is that an outdated format by now?
Like I said, GSL needs to rethink their format, because seeding foreigners who can't hope to compete at that level is completely retarded.
edit: there's still a Code A qualifier-- what are you talking about?

LOL its not GOM's job to raise the skill of the foreigners. no one is entitled to anything. If you want to compete, you practice hard, get good and show results when it counts.

Giving spots to foreigners just based on their popularity wont do anyone any favors, they should earn them just like every other player in Code S. Besides Stephano does just fine without being in Code S, why must idra fanboys whine so much?

Also how the fuck do you think Huk got so good? He got seeded and practiced with the best players in the world and now he's one of them. It's not going to work for everyone that gets seeded, but it is going to happen sometimes.

I didn't even bother to watch this series since I expected something like 4-2 or 4-1. But 4-0? Well that's a bit silly and unexpected. I expected a bit more from Idra and I don't even like the guy. But Taeja is pretty damn good after all. You figure with Idra being in the SlayerS house even it being a showmatch and $400 on the line, he may know a few things about Taeja and pull off at least 1 win. Guess not though.

The fact is that GOM is providing entertaining SC2, that's sort of their goal, with their current director trying to advance eSports. One of the ways to do this is to close the gap between foreign and Koreans which plagued BW.
