What we have in WCS Europe seems too good to be true. After suffering complete and utter defeat in 2013, foreigners have a realistic shot at winning a Premier League title [...] Do we dare believe?

Considering that even if he beats Jjakji he is guaranteed to play either MC or Stardust I would say his chances are very low. However Stardust is favoured over MC which helps Vortix because MC's PvZ is stronger | ||

He [had] taken second place five times on the year, and was determined not to end it with six. That said, holy shit hype! The TvZs are going to be insane. | ||

That being sad, if anyone can make it happen I think it's either Snute, cause he has won events with top Koreans before, or Vortix because he has been looking great lately. Realistically though this should be another MMA win with MC keeping up the Kong performance. | ||

That's interesting... + Show Spoiler + Win Top 2 Top 4 Top 8 + Show Spoiler + StarDust 3 ┐ Estimated by Aligulac. Modify. Sadly our system does not yet support different Bo formats (finals are Bo7, not Bo5) so I'm also gonna leave this here, for our predicted hypothetical finals: (1958) StarDust 0-0 San (1996) Estimated by Aligulac. Modify. That said, I would love nothing more than MMA winning in dominant fashion and in a fantastic display of skill. | ||

It has nothing to do with nationality, though. Koreans just consistently deliver the most exciting games. | ||

Well my realistically is not the one based on stats (as they never tell the hole story not even in games with more telling stats like moba and fps), but rather on who I feel is capable on winning this kind of tournament with this kind of format and a bit of personal player preference as well. I guess MC is kind of a gutsy prediction, but I have learned a long long time ago that whenever to many people doubt him he'll just win a tournament out of nowhere. Recently though, he has established himself as more of a Kong and if there is one thing that I like almost as much as players who just know how to win tournament after tournament, it's the storyline of those always getting close to the number 1 spot but somehow failing a lot in grabbing it. | ||

I was just providing an additional point of view, of course stats will never be able to tell the whole tale in a complex and volatile game. Personally I think MMA has been the most consistent over the last few months even if he didn't actually win anything other than small online tournaments. But I think any one of these guys, on a good day, can take the whole thing, as they've no doubt shown in the past. Also, I disagree with the notion that FPS has "more telling stats" but that's a different discussion entirely and off-topic to this thread.  | ||

MMA and SuperNova are solid players but it is hardly an exciting win for foreigners. People that are realistic about WCS EU know that a Korean Protoss is going to take it all. Even without all of the minor victories, everyone knows that WCS EU/NA Koreans are far from a Code S/Proleague Korean. Blizzcon may produce some upsets, but at the end of the day a Korean GSL champion is going to be raising the trophy not a NA/EU Korean. I'm so sick of this Korean vs the World mentality. Starcraft is a beautiful game, why can't people just appreciate the game for what it is and NOT for who plays it? | ||
