Foreigener vs Korean is what most people wanna see, so imo they should try to bring some more foreign talent. | ||

Someone hasn't been watching WCS Korea, some of the Kespa guys are already better than a lot of GOM players. | ||

A handful of kespa players are already borderline Code S/A level, not "gonna get stomped by NA ladder heroes", and even plenty of others are solid mid-range korean skill. | ||

I mean if Kespa pros are beating normal Korean pros so those players like Puzzle, Leenock, and Gumiho must be absolutely terrible and will lose to NA ladder heroes. | ||

MKP at 45?! 1) Arena result (nobody in the Open Bracket has this) 2) Invite Qualifer result 3) Open Qualifier result 4) MLG Rank Since MKP did not participate in any Summer Season events (had a direct seed to the Arena, but played in the WCS KR preliminaries instead), he's ranked below everyone who attempted the Open Qualifiers in the Summer Season. | ||

I don't have a strong attachment to anyone in the group stages though. Sort of agree with people noting that this is a weaker lineup than usual. But because of that we might have a closer championship on our hands. Assuming the Taeja bulldozer can be stopped. Wouldn't mind seeing a good showing from Losira, First, Hero, Oz and Ganzi though. Also hoping some of the americans do well though I can't really bet on any of them. Best of luck still! | ||

Foreigener vs Korean is what most people wanna see, so imo they should try to bring some more foreign talent. Might want to take a look at some of the Wcs Korea results to realise that some kespa players are pretty up there. Or even better, check out the vods, they are free to watch 1 week after the match has been played. But more importantly, kespa players will bring in a LOT of viewers, hence why mlg was so quick to strike up a deal with kespa. However you are right about people wanting to see foreigner vs Korean, I definitely fall into this category. Funnily enough I always used to barrack for the foreigner, however nowadays I smile every time a Korean destroys a foreigner, especially the ones with too many fan Boys hyping that player up more than they deserve. | ||

MKP will just be knocked out by some random foreign zerg, and the only storyline here is how far Stephano will go or whether Taeja will win. No Nestea/Mvp/MMa/DRG/Naniwa etc is Not really sure why they hyped up the mystery invites though...It would have been (mostly) KeSPA vs. GOM again, but in a "premier tournament" and not a qualifier for a qualifier. Take a look at this: Replace the last two rows of players with KeSPA players. Friday night's Red Stream would have been nothing but those guys playing matches against players from rows 3 and 4. | ||
