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.


Yeah I agree, NA has some good players due to Korean migration. But to say NA is as hard or harder than KR right now is absolutely absurd. Maybe if everyone else from KR started to move to NA, but until then no way in hell.

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.



doesn't 'mainstay' imply consistency? alive and hero had one deep run each and fell out of code s pretty quick, oz and ryung had a few code s seasons but then fell to code b. the only real consistent players listed were taeja and nestea.

note: i got my information by skimming liquipedia. if i'm wrong about these guys' history, lemme know.

You serious man? HerO, aLive, and Oz might have gone deep before, but if we havent seen them in Code S for over a year so they are hardly mainstays.
Mvp, Drg, Parting, Gumiho,Curious, Bomber, Life, Soulkey, Symbol, Innovation, Losira, Leenock, Squirtle, Supernova, MKP, Creator; these guys are all more "mainstay" then Hero, aLive or Oz.
Read the initial quote again: "But imo it is fine to stay in Korea, with half of the Code S mainstays being in the NA region."
Yes there are a couple Code S mainstay in NA, but NOwhere near half (even if you included HerO, Oz, and aLive).
And btw I watch nearly every group of Code S, including group selection, so I know what Im talking about.

Revival hasn't shown ZvT that is on Soulkey's level and Soulkey can't even beat Innovation at this time.

Incorrect on both counts.

WCS KR has 32 Code S level players while NA only has 9 or less.

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



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.

Actually, Revival has shown that his TvZ is not at the level of the top KR zergs. Therefore, Innovation would roflstomp him in macro games, because that's what he does.
/debate.

I really don't get what all the fuss is about, Innovation > Revival isn't very hard to grasp logically
I mean, we are talking about the same Revival that got beat by Happy, right?
