Oh I see. If he takes time off for whatever reason, he'll remain the unofficial world champion? Haha, good exploit.

It just seems weird and out of place. i don't think anyone would consider WCG a better/more important tournament than GSL either way i'm pretty sure it would be where it is right now anyway even if we did start with WCG It's probably simply: MVP wins WCG Leenock beats MVP in MLG Global Invitational Jjakji beats Leenock in GSL November <-- already in the current line mvp at wcg drg > mvp in blizz cup stephano > drg mc > stephano drg > mc mma > drg puzzle > mma in code s gumiho > puzzle drg > gumiho and then it goes back to normal (i think) What matters is what the first official LAN game was. Didn't someone said that there was an IEM or something before the first GSL open? That would count as the first official match... other 'world champs' don't start from the first tennis game ever played or the first soccer game ever played, haha. they start from the first major title ;p

hahaha 62 of them would be korean.

By.Rain has a damn good chance of actually becoming the world champion of SC2, kid is sick good

we will know the world champion after wcs finals. This "o he won this then Y beat him after that so he gets the title is pretty much bullshit. WCS is the world championship series and whoever wins the final is THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
User was warned for this post

This isn't about the best in the world. It's about the unofficial world champion!

Looks like Rain successfully defended his title 2-0 in his first MLG match.

Rain defending against Goswser on Blue stream now after beating Massan 2-0.

Rain executing a pretty dominant title defense. Next contender for world champion is sheth, looks like rain will be keeping his title then.

True enough, but tomorrow, he should start facing some real competition. I wouldn't be surprised to see him lose the title, nor would I be surprised to see him hold onto it throughout the tournament.

Leenock withe title now, let's see how far he can go in this MLG.
|
Leenock dismantles the unofficial world champion (By.Rain)! :O Leenock now has the title haha.
