Violet has always been one of the zerg that give him trouble, and both aLive and Ryung are TvT monsters. oO | ||

Blizzard, you watching? Going to weasel out of this PR screw-up somehow? Don't worry, I'm sure you'll think of something creative as an excuse . . . P.S. Anyone imagining the crowd reaction during Blizzcon when the entire "America" roster walks on stage in front of thousands of Americans and it's all Koreans? Cringe-worthy to think about. | ||

That being said, I really would like to see region locks, To me, it would make it a whole lot more interesting, but I understand their viewpoint. | ||

In all seriousness though, I'm really digging the set up. Outside of Polt, its hard to see a clear favorite. | ||

2 purebred Americans vs 1 Korean Terran + 1 faceless guy, sounds pretty interesting. | ||

Honestly, I wouldn't care who walked on stage, as long as I got to see amazing games. Previous Blizzcon, NASL and MLG live tournaments have been filled with Koreans too. That being said, I really would like to see region locks, To me, it would make it a whole lot more interesting, but I understand their viewpoint. I would happily agree Obant, but the thing is, their reasoning has changed from the start. They realized that they screwed up by not enforcing a strict region-lock, and then tried to cover their mistake (rather than owning up to it) by taking the easy way out . . . "we just want to see the best games". If the above statement is true, why even bother having a regional divide at all? Why not just invite the top players from a variety of competitions throughout the year to Blizzcon? Logic bomb.  | ||

Group B: Apocalypse Crank (TheStC played like shit in ro32) Group C: Scarlett Suppy (maybe Revival over suppy, but I think that suppy and scarlett are gonna help each other in zvz and advance together because scarlett is crazy good in zvp) Group D: Polt viOlet (if violet is PeGaSuS in KR then he will advance for sure) Don't doubt me, I have crazy WR in predictions. | ||

I said this before but, you give NA fans an out if they just want too watch NA play Korean then they can watch 1 group and not waste time. Lets say Crank goes to Group D. Easily he loses. This is too sad to see for NA fans. 2 NA in 1 group means they have 200% chance at making it as well. Also look at the group, it has some easy Koreans. Revival I checked him out, hes shitty for a Korean, very beatable. Scarlett is arguably the best player there. Suppy, he is looking very good 4-0 in RO32. Hero I don't know about him but he is really fragile lately on a stage. If he gets beaten by Scarlett, very possible, he could be mentally damaged enough to lose to Suppy. 2 NA advance to RO8 baby. And like Incontrol said, the news isn't Korean wins its Suppy beats TWO Axiom players to go to BO16. You will want to be there if this happens! Facing Koreans is what really gets you viewers, people love underdogs. 2 NA in BO8 will get crazy viewers! Maybe MLG and Blizzard through their insane logic... actually did the right thing? Still yet to be seen. | ||

To be honest these WCS tournaments are just not interesting because they arent live. | ||

The best players should represent. If americans cant win games to prove they belong, then they dont belong. | ||
