 Axiom.Alicia,  coL.TheStC , Axiom.CranK, and EG.OzRC qualify for WCS AM Season 1 Premier league!
Day one of the qualifiers for WCS AM ended early tonight and four Koreans swept the first four spots. Unlike the EU qualifiers, Koreans showed dominance in the American qualifiers with only two upsets by foreigners in the whole tournament.  NrGquasAr was able to knock down Jaedong to the losers bracket with a 2-0 score. Meanwhile, FXOMoosegills took down Center as well.
Tomorrow, the qualifiers continue as the losers bracket will be played out, with the top four from the losers bracket qualifying for WCS AM as well. The Koreans left include Center, Zenio, Jaedong, Revival, MotoK, HwangSin, Miya, Heart, Sage, JYP, and aLive. Three Chinese players remain: FruitsBasket, MacSed, and Top. Foreigner favorites such as DeMusliM, iNcontroL, NonY, qxc, and KawaiiRice also remain in the bracket, fighting for the final spots to represent the Americas.

STC and Slayers!

Gratz to them, shame there weren't any NA but glad to see those 4 do well and looking forward to the stackedddd LB tomorrow :3

Should be Alicia/TheStC/CranK/Oz that qualified so far right? Not aLive.
Edit: Fixed now.
Well, WCS + Show Spoiler + NA going as expected so far.

Man, they're like a single entity in my mind.

NrGquasAr 2-0 Jaedong what. Is this someone I should have heard of?
|
People quickly forget that the majority of NA players capable of beating koreans were invited to the premier league, NA players aren't as bad as this may indicate.

Did not see the game, but It should not be a surprise as ling bling micro on kr/na crossserver is almost impossible vs a decent player.

Come on Center, take a spot!

Well, this looks like it's not getting watched by me.
So much for an outlet to watch North Americans play North Americans to win the North American qualifiers and go up against the rest of the world as representatives of where I live.
I really hoped this would end up differently, but I guess it was me just being delusional. I thought "hey, the EU qualifiers didn't have that many non-europeans, it wont be too bad!" There were more chinese players who got dicked out of a spot than there were korean players in the EU wcs.
I hope so much that someone from North America qualifies through the lower brackets, but at this point I don't think it would matter for me.
I tried jumping on the "only want to see the best games!" bandwagon but fuck, dudes, this shit is old. Give me a goddamned storyline I can get behind. Holy crap. I wanted to believe in the WCS model so bad. It's really hard being a fan of the North American SC2 scene when you have so little going for you.

cmon demuslim you gotta represent the United States for WCS!
|
basically Catz was right in the state of the game episode.
Koreans dominate the "american" tournament leaving little to no chance for americans...
|
Needs more NA players, not Koreans. Sigh, it was a pipe dream.
|
IF its non korean facing top or fruitbasket there is no way for them to lose, so there will be all asians in top 8.

Well I guess I can understand where you are coming from somewhat, but it's not like the Koreans are mindless robots with no personality. To the contrary, many of them have very unique and interesting personalities, and many of them do put on a good show (not just play, but also showmanship).
Anyways, here's to a great showing by Axiom, and hopefully Heart and Miya can rally in the LB tomorrow.

Wow, pretty lame. I'd have to agreed with catz before this and really agree with him after.
