Jjaki is pretty damn good, he just doesn't seem to perform at the moment and Stephano is owning everybody in Europe. Considering the groups are played online and that Stephano will probably have the better latency I think he has really good chances. | ||

I knew Koreans outplayed foreigners, didn't know they outnumber them as well. Thanks for volunteering as a tournament I don't need to follow. The amount of tournaments last year really brought me to a level of oversaturation. | ||

Not sure EU players have better latency on NA than KR players :/ | ||

The only real contenders I see are MC, Mvp and Thorzain. Thorzain could probably pull off a win against MC (even though MC's PvT is pretty good), I don't think he can pull a TvT win against Mvp. Looking at the level of play and past achievements, MC and Mvp stand high above the rest of the group. Imho group D looks far more interesting. With Leenock, NesTea and Alive you have a fairly well-balanced and really strong Korean group along with 2 foreigners that usually do well in the underdog position. | ||

Hype should be build 1-2 week before the event not 3-4 months... I disagree, the longer you build the hype the better your event will do. People will be looking forward to this. Plus the broadcasts of the group stages does not start in may, may is the offline finals. | ||

First, the tournament starts in 9 days and not in 4 months. There are 44 BO3 in the stage groups and RO8 to be played and streamed by not only american, but also french and maybe german casters. Because of all the great players there are, it is a chance for us to be able to watch these games one at a time and not just play them all randomly and see how it goes. And I think it is ok to just play the finals and semi in lan. As kaoru said, it is gonna be a long show and the scene is available only for a day. Then, let's not forget and be realistic, probably only koreans will get to the finals and if I were one of them I'd be disapointed to travel over to France and not have a guaranteed prize money even if the trip is paid also. | ||
