I think people assume they would roflstomp a lot of players and take all the top spots. Frankly, I thought they would do the same lol but I'm happy to hear that EU can hold its own. I doubt NA can tbh XD
u know why foreigners get stomped in korea and are not even being able to make code a? because there are hundreds of high skilled koreans who are all able to beat the single foreigner (and vice versa). here its alot of skilled europeans who are all able to beat the 4 koreans.

And the Koreans are probably playing with a ton of lag, which at the highest level of play affects a lot.

yes, but players like Mvp, ForGG and MC got seeded so they dont have to play
MC didn't get seeded actually, he played in code S this season which means he will have to qualify in S2 EU qualifiers if he wants to switch over to EU.

Well, they probably shouldn't have picked Europe then huh?
That is awesome that Europeans defended their own soil. I don't like how so many players got an invite. Everyone should have to earn a place in my opinion.

Well, the second player also got 50€, so there were effectively just playing for 50€ in the finale.
Anyways, congratulations to Happy and Dayshi. As the two killer of German hope (Happy eliminating KrasS and Dayshi eliminating GoOdy) they at least had the decency to qualify this time.

Well I guess their opponents can't be blamed lol. Do what you gotta do to win.
Well, Daisy and finale did not lose in BO1s, but in BO3s. Beastyqt defeated finale, and KrasS (German Terran on NewRoSoft) defeated Daisy.
yep people should stop blame the koreans only lost because of bo1 ... and also i think daisy is in europe so also no lag its just that krass is "Krass" whats the german word for crass / really phat, and beasty is perhaps not the most mannered guy, but definitly a very skilled guy

i think they said mc can only get in challanger so he is code s next seaosn in EU, he cant be this because he already was in korea

Well, that's what you get for picking EU over korea or NA. As you said, no excuse.
Once the Premier season is starting, I really hope ESL casters will conduct video interviews with the winners. They can even pre-record those interviews, since the games won't be played live.
