Got confused, I thought the main event was only Ro16. Didn't see that Challenger was pretty much just the Ro32 for it. | ||

For SC2 purposes, "Asia" is everywhere in Asia except Korea. Not sure I understand why there's no Europe seed. Because of "schedule"? What does that mean? Also if there's no 4th seed, how will the final spot in the Ro32 be filled. | ||

Anyone think it's odd that the other global seed goes to one of the only foreigners that can beat him (Scarlett)? | ||

Weekend tournaments are some times less quality than months long tournaments. Can't really argue against that, if a player can show great games with a month preparing for 5 different matches against a variety of potential opponents, then that player can probably show even more amazing games with a month preparing for just a single match against one opponent. | ||

No offense to him, but I'm just glad it's not Snute. He seems like a very nice guy but mass swarmhosts are the bane of entertainment and anything that keeps mass swarm host players out of tournaments is always optimal. | ||

Also, I do believe there will be 29 from qualifiers instead of 28 since the EU seed could not be filled. | ||

Scheduling must be a bitch for korean SC2 players (IF they are alowed to play in both leagues). The tournaments run over a long period of time on different days, it seems like it would actually be fairly convenient to play in both at the same time. | ||

I sort of agree, but those players will most likely qualify anyway. Jim and Scarlett will most likely be out first round unless they get some good bracket luck, so it does seem like a tiny bit of a waste. | ||

I love this post so much. I think sometimes we forget the dedication and skill of the few foreigners who went to Korea and tried their hardest in the early days of SC2. These guys should be remembered with awe and reverence, the way we look back today on Grrrrr and Elky and Legionnaire when they did similarly awesome things in Brood War. Also, mad respect to Huk for still battling it out and trying his hardest when everyone else in that list has retired. | ||

Jinro, Idra and HuK were not seeded. They qualified through their own merits. That being said, I don't think any foreigner will be able to do what Jinro has done. He is truly the best foreigner to live. It's a shame he retired because he could achieve way more than Stephano, Snute, Scarlett or whatever other foreigner that people over hype and over rate. | ||

The skill gap between foreigners and koreans is much wider now than what it was 2-3 years ago. I don't think that right now any foreigner has the skill of an average code S ro32 player. Obviously they could still make it far if they are lucky/play better than usual. | ||

Also, out of all of the Europeans in Europe, they couldn't find a single one that didn't have a scheduling conflict? I can understand that they would only want to invite one of the very best Europeans, but it's pretty hard to believe... They probably only spent a couple weeks trying to contact people and telling them that they had only a few days to decide. That's all I could think of. | ||
