Great writing!

Out of curiosity, what does everyone feel about the entertainment quality of these games? I thought that they were pretty good (and Terry the Intern was amazing) but was also curious about how everyone else felt about the WCS AM games.

region locking doesn't make sense: theognis quit after losing to hellokitty... both hellokitty and Polt are at the University of Texas... let's region lock Texas!!

"pulled ahead of WCS Europe in terms of player quality, taking the spot as the second strongest of the three regions."

That is true, due to all those koreans stuck in 'murica. Get a region lock, and AM is just dead.

Calling Jaedong a kong? I am offended deeply. Everyone knows that he intentionally lets the competition some time to practice before he starts his tyrannical reign.

Scarlett is definitely probably one of the best foreigners.


I would go further: Probably one of the top Zerg including the Koreans. Beside Soulkey I don't see a Zerg who I'd consider much stronger than Scarlett. There might be a few around her level, depending on the matchup, but in general I don't think so.

... unfortunately she won't participate next season :-/

If I remember correctly Scarlett confirmed in an interview in WCS AM finals that she'll be taking a break after this season to get treatment for her wrist. Which is probably the smart thing to do, but still a shame, especially with the Season final held in her home country.


She didn't "confirm" it, she just said she might take a break. Not 100% sure yet, afaik.

You overrate me ;; Especially in tournaments I play worse due to big nerve issue, and don't have solid ZvP at all ~

I am taking a break for sure, whether I can't play in WCS season 3 depends on the dates for WCS, not whether I am taking time off (99% won't be playing in it as I will be gone all of september)


sorry, the cross isn't optional

Not sure how much pride NA can take in the fact that it's the second strongest WCS according to results of it's players. Congratulations ? i guess ?
Appart from Scarlett there isn't much of the actual NA scene that can put up a fight wich is a shame, and imo bad for the growth of the NA scene as a whole.

I hope other NA players rise up when Scarlett takes her break, or it's going to turn out to be a mini WCS Korea.

China is on the rise, new websites and big money being raised there recently and their players already doing decently in WCS. Soon, if things are really developing now in China, there could be a whole new force coming from there and for now it seems such force would join NA too. So indeed the NA competition seems to be outgrowing EU for now. Although in a completely no-KR no-CN foreigner battle between NA and EU, from NA only Scarlett would measure well with the top of EU - she is undoubtedly the best right now, even long before Stephano retired actually.
