From the Start of WCS Season 2 North/South Americans in Challenger League:  CapochStateHellokitty Drunkenboi KiLLeRNorth/South Americans in Premier League: puCKHuKMiniguntheognisMajOrNeebViBESuppy5 in challenger, 8 in premier, for a total of 13 as of the start of WCS Season 2. Note that I didn't include Demuslim(who is in premier league), but you could technically consider him since he lives in the United States. 5/16 American representation in Challenger League R1, 8/32 in premier league. Sadly, that's better than I expected. On July 17 2013 12:33 rift wrote: Code C. Code A and Code B qualifiers are both harder At this point I think American players that are stuck trying to get into the qualifiers should just try for WCS Europe. They'd have a better shot against European players and the few(er) Koreans partaking in it. | ||

NA isn't going to become any better, in regards to the number of skilled players. Maybe one or two might reach a level of being able to beat some lesser Koreans (in tournaments), but yeah... Yes, we need Combatex back. The same Combatex who took a game off Parting and defeated Adelscott, Killer and fraer at WCG. | ||

Right, because we left the NA scene to flounder under the weight of a Korean tidal wave, and answered the death throes with a steady chorus of "LOL, GET BETTER." In a world where MLG, IPL, and NASL actively facilitated the complete and total takeover of Korean talent, are we actually surprised that foreign teams picked up Korean pros and didn't give a shit as the better NA pros started to retire? | ||

But seriously, there have been a lot of solid NA players who have disappeared/retired. IdrA, Sheth, and Nony/Tyler are the biggest ones people remember right now, but Drewbie, Painuser, TT1, Kiwikaki and Slush all made waves and then disappeared or retired. And how many people remember Cruncher, Chance, Silver, Lastshadow, Murder, Torch, dde, Mihai, Optikzero? Grabbing the top 16 of IEM Cologne 2010 and MLG Raleigh 2010, something like 11/15 Europeans are still playing, and only 4/16 North Americans are still playing (numbers are slightly off, point stands). | ||

Back then, SC2 was a lot easier, as it wasn't as developed, and less people played it. Today many people have become really good at it, but for some reason it seems americans haven't. I don't know why though, because there are many players that get a lot of money and play full time. But they probably don't practice as hard as koreans and europeans. | ||
