That was a fantastic read. Thanks so much stuchiu for putting together a great piece. Especially what you said about WCS America, it's always funny thinking about why I like it so much. It's just a giant hodgepodge of crazy that melds into something beautiful I find. WCS has been an absolutely awesome experience.

Amazing article. The Korean one almost brought a tear to my eye. I guess that's the reason why I enjoy Korean scene the most. The players are playing to win. They just want it and they are willing to sacrifice almost anything just for the win. And it's not just in individual leagues. Proleague is more or less the same, it is all about winning. I love that scene.

Mvp did as "well" as he did because he was the best player in a weak field during a year with 9 GSLs. Get real.


This is so unfair. As has been said the early stages after a games release present a completely different and unique challenge. MVP was the one who happened to be able to adapt better to the changing meta game than anyone else. Not to mention that he has been constantly hampered by his wrists. We really have no idea what sort of impact that has on his ability to play and train.

IMMvp, man. Fucking IMMvp. My ultimate SC2 fanboy dream is for Mvp to miraculously rehabilitate himself, make it into Code S, and then proceed to get out of both his round of 32 and 16 groups in second place with the tightest map scores possible, win his quarter and semis by one game in super tight single digit unit fights by the end of the games, until he faces Flash in a TvT final that goes seven games, each one in excess of 30:00, with the scrappiest games you have ever seen. And at that point I wouldn't even fucking care who won because FUCK YEAH MVP!

Lol, that's so true. Can't really imagine anything more awesome than that.

This game is the epitome of WCS America for me. This was the deciding game 5 for a Premier League spot. Keep an eye on Top's natural nexus on the minimap :D

As great as WCS is, I hate that we have so many amazing players like Mvp, Polt, TaeJa, MMA and more who are away from GSL, the absolute best competition. I want to see Mvp defy the longest odds he's ever faced and become a 5x GSL Champion, but that will never happen when the 'easy' WCS EU money is somehow tempting him away from his rightful home (and throne). It's just such a shame that apart from State (who has massive, titanium testicles) we don't have anymore foreigners attempting the hardest competition in the world and our own little "elephant in the room" type thing going on where like 4 of the Top 10 Terrans in the world aren't in WCS KR (which I truly believe contributed to the poor showing for Terrans the last couple seasons).

I just wish GSL was a seperate tournament again, so Mvp and other great Koreans could take their easier chance at money, but still be able to give the toughest tournament in the world a shot.

Still disagree with allowing Koreans in NA and EU WCS.

Way to kill off potential talent and local fanbase. Everything for a quick buck though, I suppose...

Look at the state of the Live Stream viewership... lol...

Care you will be called racist cause you dont want Korean in EU or AM scene. I would love to see more of EU or NA players. But anyway ppl are too attached to Koreans :/. We have them everywhere, but still not enough for some of the community. I hope a real EU and NA league will be created,

Great article though. As usual .

Amazing article, congrats Stuchiu. There is just a sentence I don't understand :

Vortix has made it to the last 4 ro8’s, the only foreigner to accomplish this feat besides Lucifron.

Where do you get that from ?
