I would love to see these players as well, but I honestly hope they add in a few more americans. I don't want to see yet another american tournament which lacks american players.
More games between Europe and America would benefit esports.

lol what?

I don't think IdrA, WhiteRa and possibly HasuObs really belong on that list.
If you wanted to keep it foreign Morrow, Sase, Huk and some other European players would make up a stronger lineup for Team USA.

I'll be sure to pick up some Red Bull on my way home as part of a larger scheme that hinges on the concept of "Positive Reinforcement." The idea is to get more companies to sponsor tournaments. Eventually, even Amish people will be hosting tournaments. There is no stopping this.
(Thank you Red Bull!)

Judging by the production quality of the Red Bull Lans, I think this tournament is going to set a new standard for quality tournaments. The whole invitational thing is kind of a bummer however.
|
good to see sc2 attract more and more sponsors.
41k is ain't too shabby for just one day's work...
|
Day 9 Husky djwheat= awesome caster line up! PLus stephano in already. man cannot wait for this!!

So... how would you rank the European protosses as of now?

If this is Red Bull's first off line competitive event then making it invitation-only cuts down on the # of things that can go wrong. Open events are very difficult to run. If a couple of people who are "famous", but playing poorly get invited then they'll just get trashed in the first round. Unless of course Red Bull manages to invite 16 "famous guys" all playing like garbage.

that is a bit harsh... he is pretty good and somewhat entertaining.
he may not know as much about competitive SC2 as Artosis ... but at least he knows this.
i think the other commentators cut him a bit of extra slack and are a bit deferent with him because he works for Blizzard

What? Grubby is far better than he have been ever. I don't think you watch his games and only watch his tournament placements. If you actually watch those players he beats, and how he beats them, I think you would have a different opinion. I can't seem to find any protoss player not living in Korea which is levels above him. He is one of the best.

Looking forward to it

"Offline" lol...
I'm assuming they're using that term very loosely.

Grubby's too old, reflexes get slower past the age of 24 or something.

As you can see, the average reaction time is lowest around the age of 17 for guys that are right-handed. Same with girls. That means, at the age of 17, you are going to have faster reaction speeds, and be all-around more alert.
Statistics and stuff aside, it is generally known that most gamers are at their "prime" anywhere between 16-21 years old (with the peak being between 17-18 years old). This directly coincides with the reaction time chart above.
Also, excerpt from: http://www.livestrong.com/article/442800-how-does-aging-affect-reaction-time/
"After the late 20s, reaction times increase..."
Meaning gamers that are late 20's or higher in age are generally at a disadvantage.

There's exceptions of course but it's generally accepted that mental quickness and stamina decline with age. You sound like one of those fundamentalist idiots saying evolution sounds like crap.
