Seems like more and more players are leaning towards money over pride. To those that would respond "but they need money to live!", MC makes enough.. I'm sure Hyun is making enough, also considering he just won 25k or something last week. Many many players would love to play in this GSL thing, and here we have players like "Welp, better go beat some foreigners and get top 8 minimum. Thanks for being bad guys, I love money!" | ||

With all the biggest names going to EU and NA what is left in korea sure is lack lustered! That is what happens when you HAD the best players but now only have what is left! Not sure if serious? Korea still has the best talent. MC/Hyun are going to DH because it has a larger prize pool AND easier competition. There's really only a handful of "big name" koreans spread throughout eu/na. | ||

People like you piss me off, who are you to judge why a progamer is doing something with the intent of money vs pride. They could have reservations booked in advance their could be a host of other things that we dont know about. But instead you choose to badmouth two great players who work hard. Also if people want to play in gsl, they should just qualify. Instead of bitching about peoples choices who qualified but choose not to go. | ||

GOMeXp is neither, unfortunately. Cut the price in half and more people would buy, but the SC2 Community is stingy and afraid of being burned on a lackluster product. Anyways, sad that the lineup for the tourney is inconsistent and the players who qualified have no desire in going, really ruins the whole thing. But goooo Revival! | ||

This is why now you use http://clash.gg/vods/gsl I wish GOMeXP would ditch trying to include WCS EU/NA people and just make a tournament from the players left in Korea. We'd have stronger representation. Do some sort of fun hybrid like top 4 GSL finishes, top 4 SPL players, and then some open bracket spots. As it is though, there might be a step down in name brand recognition from MC and HyuN to San and Alicia/Revival but frankly I don't think the skill level is that different. Heck overall I think San is a stronger player than MC these days. | ||

MC is ranked #12 in the world. * In head-to-head in HotS, San leads 6-3. * San's all-time win % is 65%, MC's is 61%. But more importantly, in the games that are most relevant to figuring out how good they are now (only HotS games, only against other Koreans, and only offline), San has a 60% win percentage and MC has a 44% win percentage. I would argue by objective measures San is almost clearly better than MC right now. San just hasn't been eating foreigners for breakfast for as many years as MC has so he doesn't have the cash and fame yet. | ||
