I think he was trying to be funny with his last post Though I agree, the whole doom and gloom attitude of some people is stupid, the entire foreigners vs Korean thing is kind of stupid, but hell, it makes for a great read!

They are all capable of advancing, but if Welmu cannot stop San, then no one can.
P.S: Vamos Vortix!!!
|
Excellent piece of writing. I dare to believe
|
Stuchiu imba. Great write up. So hyped, gooooo vortix
|
Excellent, excellent writeup. Vamos Vortix, go get 'em!
|
My top 3 of the most likely finals :
VortiX vs San VortiX vs MMA jjakji vs MMA
My favourite for winning it all being San.
|
Snute's win was already a victory as far as I'm concerned. I really don't think Welmu or Snute will make it to the Ro4, but I think Vortix has a realistic chance of winning
|
If Welmu wins, I'll switch to Finland.

Frankly if a foreigner wins this tournament, I'll be completely shocked.
The best foreigners are as good as many Koreans. But when there is eight great players, and five are Korean and three aren't, even if those three are as good as Koreans, pure chance favors the Koreans. And with that being said, I'd say they have the edge in skill too.
Is there anyone out there who still defends Blizzard's decision not to lock WCS regions?

I really really love these writeups!! They build up soo much hype EU fighting!
And i think Blizzard made the absolute best decision possible regarding the soft region-lock. They cant very well kick out all the koreans that have already qualified. Even if they could i prefer a ro8 like this, with the foreigners vs koreans. It makes it alot more exciting since you know that the winner is really really good.
The AM region will take some time to stabilize around a decent balance since so many koreans were already in challenger league. However with a maximum of 2 koreans added to CL each season the amount of koreans should decrease since there is a high probability that they eliminate each other in CL. Also there is talk about offline PL like in GSL. That would make it a huge investment for koreans to participate. (unless their tickets from korea get paid, does anyone know if that is the case?)

Considering Koreans already won 5 tournaments (4 if you don't count GSL), shouldn't it be "5 after midnight"?

That is the biggest problem with sc2 people and Blizzard did a big mistake with sc2 game itself (exactly the same with Diablo3). Apparently the game isn't beautiful enough to have the passion for this game. D2:LoD, WC3 and SC:BW were pretty differently.

^ lol. seems like I'm not the only one that was thinking of this:
I could never understand this whole foreigner aspect. I mean, it's cool that people cheer for their countrymen and I do it all the time too but the constant 'will a foreigner finally win?' seems overplayed at this point. I guess this puts me in the 'best player wins' category then lol. Also, watch as Snute, Welmu and Vortix all end up crashing out of WCS EU leaving an RO4 with only Koreans lol. Good write-up though
|
Well, I think the foreign dream is still alive, we have a lot of good players, but it's too bad seeing that these players are the ones carrying the dream now.
Seeing them makes me believe that teh urn is daed u.u

jjakji > San in the finals. Sorry Europe, just no way you can take down jjakji.
