It's not like Acer players like to stream, huh. He may stream if he will get to be in Acer's house in Germany but i do not think it is happening any time soon.

Great read, thank you Fionn!

I still have to get used to having the Robot Terran on the same team with that babe of a zerg Scarlett.

Hopefully innovation keeps practicing with the best or his skill is going to go south. I think it takes away some of the mystique when one of the best players comes over here and you see them constantly you start to get sick of seeing them.

yeeee I really hope Innovation continues his streak of wins. It's pretty cool to see someone as dominate as he is. But of course I secretly hope for Flash to take up his former glory

You don't think EG's signing Jaedong was a bigger deal than Acer signing Bogus?

And Taeja was one game away from making it WCS NA finals, which would then imply WCS KR = ez mode. Just so you realize how silly your argument was.

I disagree. Jaedong played only protoss until being slaughtered by Bomber. None of the top protoss have good records against top Zergs. So Jaedong's run isn't as impressive as people make it out to be. Many other WCS KR terrans can play vZ as well as Bomber. Jaedong wouldn't last long in WCS KR.

Taeja can definitely get to ro8 or higher in WCS KR. However his win over Rain wasn't that amazing because of Rain's lackluster play. Compare Rain of WCS KR vs Bomber and then compare that to what Taeja faced. Big difference.

Scarlett is in the same boat as Jaedong except Protoss will be Scarlett's weak point.

aLive played great at the finals. He definitely stepped up his level for the finals. If he is consistently this good then he is definitely code s level.

WCS KR is still harder than WCS AM. The qualifiers are harder, the challenger league is harder, and etc. Rain and Maru just played terribly in comparison to WCS KR. However Maru has never been known for his TvZ, so his loss to Scarlett wass no shock to me.

The usual KR players lose because jetlag, choke, bad form argument. How mature!

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.

Not even close...?
