3/4 liquibet. Not bad. :p

Had mvp / Socke as winners. Got really surprised by Dimaga. His play was really impressive and he was so happy in the after interview... Well done by the zerg from the east.

WCS 'America' and WCS Europe... Kappa

I wished wcs korea got more points than the other regions, and have more players get through to the big stage (its not like that right now, is it? otherwise im looking like a fool here-_-).
I fear that now, when the 3 regions will clash, there will be a huge skill disparity, even with koreans getting through in US and EU regions. Oh well, if the final games are good, thats alright with me.

Been to Austria recently and got a good laugh about the "no kangaroos here" t-shirts being sold

Quick! Somebody get Moonglade US citizenship!

Man... that joke hurt more to make than I thought it would. The way WCS NA has played out so far has proven a lot of my fears about the non-region locked format to be true and is a huge disappointment. I was really hoping that this format, when originally announced, would help create a thriving Starcraft II professional infrastructure in NA, but looking at the way this tournament is going I'd be surprised if there is any real progress in our scene over the next year. What incentive do teams and sponsors have to support training houses if Koreans and Europeans are just going to run roughshod over the local guys and take all of the major airtime?

And it will probably end with zero players from NA or SA in the Ro16. Major and cKiller have to beat HerO and Alive. Scarlett I'd think would have the best chance, but she's injured, and she (and State) are in a group with viOLet and Oz. Idra and Goswser have Polt and Revival. Suppy has Ryung and Heart. Huk has Sen and Crank, and no ping advantage since he's playing from Korea too. So pretty much either Scarlett wins some ZvZs while broken, or NA Zergs have to win ZvTs against Korean Terrans.

God damn, every thread you see this, this is a world championship, in no way do the people qualifying have to have equal amounts from each country.

Mvp!! Oh YEAH

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the best players going to the finals, even if it's (almost) all-Korean. The thing is that it's American ground they are playing at, you expect American to step up and make upsets.

Why on earth would people think this would immediately turn things around for America? Even when the culture changes to be more accepting to professional gamers and even if it's more region locked in the future so more players can make a living doing this, it's still going to take YEARS to catch up to the Koreans overall.

That only hides the spoilers on the front page. If I access the forums I will still see "X and Y players won the group!" as the title, and that sucks when you try to avoid spoilers :/

I wonder what the fuss is all about?
If you find time to visite the forums before you actually watch the games, then they aren't really meaning that much to you anyway.
DONT COME HERE BEFORE YOU WATCHED YOUR GAMES. It is that easy. This kind of crying is rediculous. Do you think other media have "spoilers" excluded??
Media exist to inform. You are the problem, not TL, the forums or whatever.

"If you find time to visite the forums before you actually watch the games, then they aren't really meaning that much to you anyway." <-You're very wrong. I don't always have the time to watch the 4 hour VODs, but I could have a few minutes to browse e-sports news. TL is not only WCS EU/NA news, it is the whole of SC2, and other games.
"Do you think other media have "spoilers" excluded??" <-We are not talking about other media here. TL has had the option to hide spoiler results for years, but now with WCS NA/EU just doing a thread on the general forum, it is not possible to hide it. Just a simple thing such a change of the name title works ("WCS NA/EU results" instead of "X and Y advance"), but the news section has been there for a long time now.
