Looking forward to see what these Chinese teams can do. They are the true known unknowns of the sc world. | ||

Maybe (although I think Xigua in general is underrated..) but if it generates a bit more interest in the game in China, that could be huge for the state of competition. It should be interesting to see what the best of the world's biggest nation can provide once integrated with the Korean scene. I must admit I'm not a total expert on Chinese players, but hey, foreigners hwaiting.  | ||

Lots of people assume that because we don't see them play they must therefore be really good and it's not too uncommon to see people make ludicrous claims like "the Chinese scene can rival the Korean" and other such absurdities. Everytime we see Chinese players play they're doing strategies from six months ago and generally playing bad. Chinese players have an appalling record on LAN, even in their home country (Stars War, IEM China). Xigua coming 2nd at WCG (having beaten virtually no one of any note) is their only LAN result. | ||

You're kidding, right? At Starswar Chinese players knocked out: Nestea, Fruitdealer (when he was in Code S), MarineKing, MVPGenius, TLO, SanZenith when he was good, Dimaga, Idra, Morrow, and a few others I think. 3/4 of the four top places were Chinese players iirc, with MC being the only other. Chinese players are REALLY underrated for the most part, they aren't on the level of Koreans, but they'd easily compete with other foreign countries. | ||

MKP is a comic-lover: he wears kawaii clothes with cartoon figures, desktop is a kitty girl, and first thing after turning on the computer is watch some comics (not playing sc2!) | ||

But starswar was 95% online, so it really doesnt legitimize anything. If we were to consider online results European would also be on par with koreans. | ||

What I noticed from watching SeleCT vs Macsed is that the Chinese players' strategies just seem to be a few months behind. Their openers are strong, but their decision making and some other fundamental skills aren't very good, and their understanding of strategy is pretty far behind | ||

It's like you say, apart from some of the ex-bw players, most seem to treat the game like wc3 by trying to outmaneuver the opponent in strange ways, like blinking into his base. Still plays, not among the top 5 of China however imo. I'd actually say LoveCD>LoveTT. At least in terms of results, he's taken 2nd place in two latest G-League seasons. | ||

Yes, and I'm pretty sure all Korea vs China matches were played on Korea since: 1) most chinese players had korean accounts because sc2 was released late in china, 2) it's pretty hard to get a chinese account. | ||

I believe it was him who boldly predicted that Vile would get all-killed by FXO in IPL TAC2, and when that did not happen, he tried to cover his own back by saying the results were invalid by claiming there was too much lag.

I'm disappointed that the starcraft II scene in china has not taken off to it's full potential as LoL and Dota is pulling too much interest. | ||

I think that the Chinese scene is not that great right now, but it has a lot of potential, definitely more than NA and likely more than EU. China has top WC3 players, and the nation is very receptive to Esports, considering how big WC3 is, just not SC2 yet. But if we can create interest in SC2 in China, it would incentivize players to play more SC2 and the player quality increases. | ||

As someone said Genius even refused to play it was lagging so badly. When it came to the LAN portion MC won easilly, although he was the best player in the world at the time.

Most foreigners lose in Round One of Code A so saying I think Xigua can win one round is a compliment. Also TL has no rules stating you need to be positive in every thread. | ||

But if we can create interest in SC2 in China, it would incentivize players to play more SC2 and the player quality increases. I agree with what you are saying pretty much. The Chinese looked really promising way back in the Stars Wars tournament but really haven't had any impressive results since then with the exception of Xigua.Once they start getting involved in the Korean progaming infrastructure their skill level will skyrocket. China is probably slightly below EU overall right now in my opinion, but in a few months if more players start going to Korea, they will pass the EU. Cool partnership. I hope to see more people continue to do this in the future. Not sure how the chinese will do in Code A. Hopefully they produce but the Macsed vs SelecT showmatch has me a little worried. Good luck! | ||
