If it weren't for mma and mc and grubby i would not have tunes in for this wcs eu which is basicly transforming in wcs na.Two more duckdeok's and wcs eu will have the same viewership as wcs na and the forreign viewership of sc2 wil go lower and lower.


Or, EU/NA players could just get better and defeat Koreans?

Too much qq, foreigners just need to step up their game.

No they do not.They bring in fans aka viewers and are the bes tin their region.without foreigners there wouldnt even be wcs na and wcs eu and we would return to a bw state when only korea mattered.This happens while games such as league of legends give korea only 2 spots for the world finals although they probably have the top 6 teams in the world(thewy only received t 3 teams this year cause they won the allstar match).And you know why?:for ENTERTAINMENT purposes.Because they do not wish to lose the foreign viewership like sc2 has.

Don't worry about the 2 more duckdeoks.
San, Genius and Stardust are playing challenge league and could be in premier next season. There's also Tails who is even more cheesier than duckdeok.

Season 1: MVP, Forgg
Season 2: MC, MMA, Duckdeok
Season 3: ????

He's also loverip from werra

You know that kid.... from back then....

In all seriousness ducduck has had a really eventful career if you think of everything he's gone through and done. Not really a big deal if people don't know, he probably doesn't want people to know some of the stuff that happened in the past.

why do these articles keep portraying duckdeok as the villain??
i mean common guys, he's the youngest guy in the tourney and just plays to win.
he's not just a korean robot also; he smiles during interviews and expresses genuine emotion after big wins. (ie that crazy hold vs lucifron)
so please guys stop trying to make duckdeok a villain just because he was born in korea.

because a guy who can not make top 30 in his own country doesn't deserve to be at the world finals.And he does not bring anything to europe either.Scares away the viewership which keeps the competition going.Which means less sponsors for european teams and a small likelyhood of sc2 eu pros.Not to mention the fact that the consolation matches will probably have higher viewership than the main final

MC needed to scare himself into championship form? Well, whatever works I suppose.
MMA was par for the course as far as I'm concerned, but dammit Naniwa, you were supposed to be the chosen one!
Well Grubby, here's hoping

Personally I think the only Korean that was favored to go through was MC. Naniwa and Hasuobs played very poorly and not even close to their best.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.

ok, then if the best players in europe cant top a guy who isnt top 30 in korea, then they dont deserve to be at the world finals either. so your saying that lucifron and naniwa should make the world championships just because they are native to europe, despite the fact that they cant beat a non-top-30 korean? thats BS.
