Oh well, maybe WCS will be better next year.
I disagree. Only MMA and one of ForGG/Genius are pretty much guaranteed. The other Koreans won`t have an easy fight. Europe often did 'hold'.
Its very unlikely IMO that we will have 6 Koreans in top8. (4-5: yes)

Group Balls was most stacked group. Group B on other hand is completely impossible to predict, as it has 3 players from WCS EU Ro8 aka CURSE SHALL BE BORKEN. And we go with assumption it only works 1 season, then BabyKnight and Thorzain advance.

Gonna dare to guess that MMA will not win it.

Conisdering that MMA is a TvP monster and his TvT is pretty good aswell, i'd rate his chance of winning quite good (i may not be 100% objective since i think MMA is fucking awesome)

It's funny to see NA citizens come here and brag about the strength of NA ... or should I say the strength of korean on foreign teams.
My rebuttal will be this one : Production quality and entertainment.

I really think WCS 2012 was more entertaining to watch. With all the Koreans running around, WCS Europe doesn't feel like WCS EUROPE. It just feels like another tournament and it makes it a lot more difficult to follow both the North American and European scene, in my opinion.

Oooh! MC vs ThorZaIN... sick cityyy!
|
Those groups seems to be balanced, not a lot of koreans per group (1 or 2). At least we'll see foreigners going through to the RO8!

This. Remember how much bitching and crying there was in the two first seasons? "WCS NA doesn't support the growth of NA scene" or "Koreans shouldn't be allowed to play outside their own region" etc etc. Then when some people figured out that the majority of Season 2 finals players was from the NA WCS, then all the sudden BOOM "NA is the (second) strongest scene, Europe needs to step up". What a wierd mentality switch all the sudden huh...
I don't know if it's hillarious or just really sad. I dared not say it when it was a hot topic at the begining of WCS 2013, but personally i loved how all three regions had alot of strong players, regardless of what nationality they were from. Better players = Better Games = Better tournaments = Better Esports for everyone.

Group C is the hardest. ForGG > Throzain. Babyknight and showtime are about equal. Vortix and Nerchio on par(or so). Genius on par with MC therefore hardest group imo lol.
|
Group A: Stardust and Welmu Group B: Vortix and MC, since bbk and thorzain didn't look so strong in their ro32 groups Group C: ForGG and Genius Group D: MMA and duckdeok
|
I am going to reveal my liquibets for you.
A: Welmu and Happy B: MC and Vortix C: Genius and Nerchio D: MMA and Duckdeok
I am confident in doing this because I am only right about half of the time.
