Best solution: Grubby wins the pot.
Second best: MC wins the pot.
Trird best: MMA wins the pot in an epic struggle.

...we all know what we don't want to see happening.

That's why it is probably happening...

Duckduck probably wins this.

I for one don't mind Koreans mingling with EUs or NAs. So many people are hating Koreans for being better than foreigners, sometimes I wonder why. I don't care what flag you fly, it's the play itself that's interesting.

I don't even get why Duckduck gets hated like this for no reason.

My predictions:

Welmu plays genius Starcraft in game 1 and wins game 1. As he gains confidence for the series, Hasuobs takes out his spoon and beats Welmu to death 3-1 after 6 hours of what is described (by Day9) as "posturing and penetrating" and "supreme positional starcraft"

Naniwa makes some fantastic plays and thinks he has won the first game, but then Vortix uses FreeUnits(TM) with vipers to stage a comeback and the Spaniard wins the first game. In the second game, Vortix goes blind 10 pool speed against some greedy gateway expand and does too much damage, so Nani rages about someone else being a bad player, the shittiness of the MSC and types G to go 0-2. Third game, Nani goes probe rush because the match is not really relevant to the outcome of the tournament (or is it)

MC does some crazy gateway timing / oracle all ins that puts him 2-0 up against MMA. Then MMA plays insanely good games on game 3 and 4 to pull it back to 2-2. Everyone says MMA will win, but MC goes proxy oracles against CC first into no units in game 5 and wins 3-2.

Grubby will win the first game by making a divine hold against a 3 gate all in, then also the second game with some godly airtoss play. 2-0 up and with everyone pumped for an MC vs Grubby final, Duckduck goes 4 gate 3 games in a row and bops Groovy 3 times in a row to win 3-2.

Finals, well need I say it, the cheeses are in the following order:

1. Proxy DT rush
2. Proxy stargate void ray rush
3. 3 gate rush
4. Proxy 2 gate

Either player 4-0s. It's gonna happen and we viewers will feel the maximal amount of pain possible

My heart is just screaming MMA

But so many protosses... His TvP looks really, really weak, not enough to take it all I think. Still, that would make me so happy !

Otherwise, a Grubby win would be a nice thing, the guy has put a lot of work into his play and is def. improving consistently, that would be a great reward !

There are a lot of inconsistencies in your post and it feels very intolerant, to say the least. First of all; It's not Duckdeok's fault that he is able to compete in the WCS Europe and that he is good enough to be a title contender (meaning the quality of his play is relatively high in foreigner terms). He's trying to make a living and he isn't committing any crimes is he?
I love it that MC has improved upon his English but I don't hold it against MMA that he can't/ doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak it. You however, complain that there are only 3 out of 4 players left to cheer for (lol) with 2 of them not speaking English, but apparently that's only a problem for the one you not cheer for.
If Duckdeok wins this tournament or a series of tournaments even, but none in Korea; Would you still consider him a no name? You want Blizzard to implement a rule, specifically for Koreans, that they can only participate in a non-Korean region if they did win a GSL/ OSL?
I Protoss winner, could it be?

Be angry at people that make the rules, not the ones that follow them. Duckdeok saw a chance and grabbed him and you are blaming for it which is absolutely ridiculous.

Well, I'm a dummy and probably gonna get warned for posting this, but can't WCS just allow people who reside in the respective region and are sponsored by a specific sponsor that has mostly eus/nas/krs/ on their roosters. I don't really care about the race, nationality or ethnicity, thinking like that is dumb and oversimplistic, but no way people who stay and pracctice and mostly play in one region should be allowed in a regional tournament.

Well there goes my out of place useless rant ( I was lazy enough to not read where it is appropiate to voice my opinion )

I sympathise, but at least they are locked into one region, so it's not as if someone can practise in KR and also compete in WCS there and then go over to Europe and poach their winnings too. Not too far off though, because they can still compete in any other Korean tournament, but on the other hand, there are probably more EU tournaments than KR so if they want winnings, going to EU is the best option for most anyway.

EDIT: Oh...I just realised I meant to post this in THIS WCS EU thread. :/
