Nice lineup overall, surprisingly light on zerg though. | ||

Especially it's strange to see Soulkey losing both to Sascri and Jim with the 0-2 score. Liquipedia states that four players will be invited from WCS rankings so it's likely some of them just didn't care. | ||

Just Sacsri and Dark rocked... SKT1, you were supposed to WIN PROLEAGUE... CJ also nice tho, they can rock now | ||

I would think so, he is currently living in the mYi house in switzerland. I mean, it would be somewhat silly if you can participate in another region's qualifier just because you happen to be there during the time of the qualifiers. | ||

Bbyong got a little lucky on the other hand, herO was the only high caliber player he had to take on. Bbyong also beat Dark who made it to the Loser's Finals after beating Maru, so that's not bad either. There were also the KR/TW qualifier that has to be included in his run. | ||

Hopefully that'll be good for his confidence. On December 21 2013 02:06 Aocowns wrote: fuck yeah Juanito I am impressed by his 3-1 of Polt, too. I kinda wish HuK got over Polt personally though. He was a pretty close 2-3 loss to Polt IIRC. | ||

He played a lot of PvP's and in bo3 formats, it's really quite easy for a player like him to do well. Basically all his series went 2-1, and in PvP even the threat of cheese, and then going super greed is such an advantage its hard in bo3's for the true "best player" to come through. But eh, that's PvP for you right now. It kinda sucks too cuz there's so many other exciting players I'd rather watch (honestly he's one of the more boring players imo) then some terribly cheesy NA Protoss, but oh well. | ||

This I think will contribute to a less exciting match over all --> less viewers perhaps. I think IEM shouldn't limited spot based on region but rather skill. I don't mind seeing 100% Koreans compete rather than a few top regional players There's still 4 more spots reserved for players finishing high in WCS 2013 rankings, which means basically 100% Korean for those spots. But if that's the case why were players like Maru, Dear, SoulKey forced to go through the qualifier when they are pretty much THE top ranked WCS players? Weird. Although I get what you are saying, I think its nice to see NA, Europe, Korean players battling it out. The WCS season finals had similar restrictions and those tournaments were very high skill level, so that argument isn't valid IMO especially with there being Koreans in all regions, and most of them were knocked out in the qualifiers by the players who advanced. | ||
