I don't think there is a doubt that both of them are in better form than Naniwa, not that they were ever in worse form than Naniwa. Dear winning KR and not making it to the Grand Finals would be outrageous. | ||

If you look at the standings, its not that likely that HerO drops at all and MC is only really in danger of dropping a spot to Duckdeok. | ||

Maybe none of them will get enough points, but these are exactly the players that Naniwa needs to do well in order to keep the players below him from passing him. So, if Naniwa doesn't get eliminated, some players will probably have passed Innovation. | ||

Dear winning KR and not making it to the Grand Finals would be outrageous. I really hope Naniwa will get there. I hope for the sake of SC2, many more people will be watching and the event will have much more success with at least one foreigner in there. If naniwa doesnt qualify i bet there will be at least 30% people less watching the event. | ||

Maybe if it was between 20% foreigners and no foreigners. If you define success as in views instead of getting the highest quality matches between the best players, I feel sorry that you can't appreciate starcraft. | ||

If you define success as in views instead of getting the highest quality matches between the best players, I feel sorry that you can't appreciate starcraft. IEM NY is a good example of one foreigner increasing the viewer number by ALOT. I for one will watch some either way but I will be so much more interested if Nani makes it. The foreigner vs Koreans stories is what draws me the most nowadays and I know plenty that feel the same. And what do you base Nani not being a good enough player on? He just recently came second in a pretty damn stacked tourney beating the beast Hyun, beating San, Hack(twice) and playing really well vs. life. a set he could definitely have won looking at the individual games.. Naniwas form is good and I'd say if you actually earn enough points to be top 16 you damn well deserve it.. The point of the format is to reward success over the year not just winning one tourney, that would kinda defeat the purpouse of ranking... it's like any sport that has similar systems... you don't get automatically a huge rank cause you win one big tourney in the end of the year.. it goes up for sure but you have to perform steadily. | ||
