Didn't' watch the games, but I can't say I'm particularly surprised with the outcome.

He has Idra in his group, so he has a good shot at making it thru.

So close, Chad I LOST SLEEP over the thought of not region locking. Minigun is arguably one of NAs Best players for a solid time not. Just the fact that koreans can compete in an online tourny from Korea, but all outsiders had to travel to korea to LAN qualify. This is a cold shoulder. I Mod WCS EU & NA I cant deny the appeal of the koreans, what I can say is that we will never see another NAr in a booth. Where they all want to be, you all saw NaNi crying! That is what draws views emotions we can relate with! I want people like Minigun to have a chance to make a podium because out of NA, he is our Parting, and I cant imagine putting in so much effort in a game to NEVER play live where every Starcrafter has dreamed of doing.
