Why not? It will ensure that the higher brackets are packed with the best players. If a foreigner makes it through, he sure as hell deserves it.


Just because IPL becomes just another GSL-like. Full of korean pro's. I like watching the GSL and Korean pro's, just not at every big tournament. Some variety and uniqueness between tournaments could be nice.

My thoughts exactly. I usually stop waching events when the last foreigner is out ^^

Dude, this is the olympics of StarCraft. You don't get any special treatment but instead you get to compete with the best players and with even chances. You really like foreigners to be baby sitted? Skill talks.

But if one bracket would have been easy guess who would be in it :D .

it depends on what you call a good game. For me, a match between two strong foreign player, with their flaws and personality that i know well about, is better than watching imaculate emotionless robotlike korean play.
But that's my opinion, biased by years of broodwar ^^

If it's biased by broodwar years you should have no problems with a korean fest.

I've always rooted for the foreigners at wgc ^^ I always had the champagne ready in case a foreigner took a game off a korean monster :p

Where is Naniwa? No IPL and no Gathering?

Mostly Koreans and NA are participating and still i have the feeling that Sase and Stephano will have the best foreign results in this tournament

NaNiwa is preparing for his upcoming GSL match sans the possible jet lag influence.

I can get people want to see foreigners only, but why is it people always call korean emotionless? Most of them show plenty of emotions, if not more than foreign players. Perhaps you should tune in and see it some times instead of saying stuff which is not true....

As for the bracket, hoping Maru or Jjakji comes out of the 4'th bracket!

Wow, ludicrously stacked. Pretty much every 3rd round at least has a major matchup I'd be interested in seeing.
By.Sun or By.Rain, he always delivers

The topic has been done to death, but anyone who brings up the 'robotlike, emotionless korean play' either doesn't watch the game or doesn't understand it. If anything, foreign players could be accused of this for playing passive, boring macro-only games whereas koreans are constantly poking and prodding or mixing in cheese. I honestly feel sorry for people who don't watch korean games and think boring, inferior play is exciting.

Heh, will definitely be cheering for Maru & Jjakji too!

Agreed, HerO & MarineKing for instance are a couple of examples of players who show a lot of emotion, if not the players who show the most emotion whenever they win/lose.
Choya sat in his booth for quite a while last sunday when he lost vs GKP at the GSTL.
HuK is the only foreigner who shows emotion when he wins/loses afaik.
