NA is as hard as KR currently, maybe even harder. So if he wants easy mode he will go EU. Might even be a good idea to be setup for next season. But imo it is fine to stay in Korea, with half of the Code S mainstays being in the NA region.


i have to disagree. There are good players in NA no doubt, but wcs korea round of 32 is much, much harder than the wcs NA round of 32, and i would say the same holds true for the round of 16 as well.

He was beaten by a really good player? When has Innovation not been top tier. He would be a favorite at Dreamhack, for sure.

I do. Bomber, a terran from WCS korea, swept the WCS NA runner up.

That's what I was thinking also. Sure Innovation is better, but its almost saying now that revival is some trash tier player.

I agree. It is incredibly disrespectful and I lost all respect.

But no, it'll be interesting to see if Kespa changes at all cuz their players are going to foreign teams. Didn't they (Kespa) already allow everyone to join their league or something? They might already be more open.

I guess this means no more help from MMA to Soulkey :<.
MMA was very happy to see SK beating Innovation GSL finals, now they are teammates.

Thank you, this was my entire point in my posts as well.

Join their league? As in SPL? No, they didn't. They allowed people to join KeSPA.

And how many players joined foreign teams as a transfer such as INnoVation? 1? Just INnoVation. I'm pretty sure there are more KeSPA players than just one. I'm pretty sure.

Also, the wording may have made it seem disrespectful, but it was just being honest.

kespa is really going to have to start sending players to foreign tournaments or this is going to be something of a common occurrence. flash ain't going anyway (except maybe to lol...), but just about anyone else might be fair game.

was wondering

is INnoVation going to switch to WCS NA as soon as possible?

Really? What makes you believe that?

Look at the top 8 in WCS Season 2 Finals.

America is extremely top heavy. There are 6 or 7 players that are code S level, but once you get past them, talent level drops pretty fast. Over half of NA Premiere would not be Code A in KR.

Also: "half of the Code S mainstays being in the NA region'" ...?
What are you on? cause I want some.
Formerly Code S players actually in AM:
Recent: Taeja, Polt, Ryung, Nestea, Huk
Over a Year Ago: HerO, Oz, Violet, Alicia, aLive
...and thats it. The only "mainstays" there are Polt and Taeja and maybe Ryung. Thats a far cry from "half"

I don't think you pay much attention to Code S... "mainstay" means important to the tournament, and Hero was Ro4 and Ro8, same as Taeja, while Oz was Ro4 at one point. Even alive made Ro4.

Isn't the best player in the world a favorite to win every tournament he enters?

Great article, but you also should pay some lip service to FXOpen, the Korean Team with a foreign backer. They bought an entire team, man.

The wording made it sound like Revival is some garbage player, which he isn't. Yes, we all know INoVation would win. No, it probably wouldn't be the roflstomp that the wording makes it sound like. That's why it is disrespectful.
