And Revival, Naniwa is practically your teammate. Go roll around in snow naked for an hour or something. Do it for the team! It's not that special to be a serious hater of Naniwa though. That's certainly true. But my girlfriend hates him, and has for a long time, but even she would rather see him at Blizzcon than it be completely devoid of foreigners. She is pretty upset at the whole WCS system though, wants it to be region locked etc, and she's a bit mad at how things have turned out.
I don't actually get the foreigner idea anyways. You're rooting for a player, not for a country, right? I generally root for Koreans over foreigners because they normally show a more refined, more beautiful playstyle.

Scarlett losing increased NaNiwa's chances.

I hope Naniwa makes it, but I was also cheering for Scarlett and Vortix. I just want some foreigner at the finals.

And yet if people truly wanted only foreigners tournaments would have done it ages ago.

Looks like he drew 3x aLive

With no one else needing points and these things not actually feeding into premier next season, I wouldn't be surprised by widespread forfeits, or at least lackadaisical play.

Revival forfeits, thinking it isn't important. Suddenly remembers and craps himself when it's too late. o.o

it is true that some naniwa fans hoped that scarlett would lose but i don't see why thats very upsetting, people wanting their favourite pro to go through is not so weird. happen in all sports, i think most people would have been happy with either naniwa or scarlett going but some are "true" naniwa fans and just want him to win and not just the foreigner. thats completely natural and shouldn't make people dislike naniwa for what his fans does

is is quite simple, personality/familiarity > skill, people can't connect to koreans because they can't even speak their language, ofc there are alot more factors than that but i am not gonna write an essay here. But i am gonna say one more factor, people love underdog stories, rarity = exitement. As foreigners vs Koreans are the biggest underdog you can ever see, it is natural that people would root for that, there is a reason the sc reddit went nuts when Naniwa got to finals of IEM. aswell as many people stating facts like "thanks to naniwa i remembered why i love this game"
Edit: Koreans vs Koreans just became so normal that it is no excitement in that, aswell as many of the favourite koreans like MKP under performing

So Naniwa is basically out?
That sucks. Really wanted a foreigner to make it.

no, if Oz loses this match and trap and byul not winning the event he still at most gets into a tie breaker with revival

That was a joke about the guy thinking everyone will forfeit WCS America Challenger groups.
