Group A is Hyun and probably Jaedong, depending on what Jaedong shows up of course Group B: MC advances over Heart. The other two wouldn't shock me totally if they advanced but I'm pretty sure it'll be MC-Heart here Group C: $o$-Sacsri ROFLstomp foreign dreams. Group D: That's a group of death if I ever saw it. On best form I'd say Solar advances first....the other one is really in the lap of the gods....I'd go.....Hydra I guess. | ||

I wish Gfinity would be more foreign friendly show tournament. More different countries involved - more fans to support their countries. | ||

Too bad Heart didn't get group A. It's always fun to watch him stomping Zergs. | ||

If Gfinity really wants to increase viewership than they have to allow more NA and EU players to participate. For a high skill we already have GSL and other tournaments to watch. I wish Gfinity would be more foreign friendly show tournament. More different countries involved - more fans to support their countries. Why? Koreans play better overall and are more crisp. I would watch gsl over wcs any day. | ||

Having a sport dominated by a single nation is never good for it's global success. I mean I am completely happy with the heavy korean lineup, but that's just how it is. | ||

Group A: True - > Jaedong Group B: Bunny -> Patience Group C: SOS -> Sacsri Group D: San -> Hydra I feel Bunny is at his strongest in TvT, So if he met Heart he would win. Secondly he never really had big problems against protoss either, and since no zerg is in the group i believe he will make it out as nr 1. | ||

I'm sure the event will be pretty cool, but I don't really have much interest on watching this, even though I am a fan of a lot of those koreans. | ||

It is just really boring when 12 of the 16 players at an event like this are Koreans. I totally agree with that as well. If I want to see Koreans I can watch GSL. And if the foreigners largely lost to Koreans, then I wouldn't call these "NA and Europe" qualifiers. Of course you can't say anything about Koreans that actually live in NA or Europe but I am sure at least Symbol and San do not and maybe even more. Those shouldn't have been allowed to compete there. On the other hand it is also weird that Bunny and Hydra got invites to this after they lost in the qualifiers. Shouldn't the invites be decided before the qualifiers start, so that the invited players don't even play in the qualifiers? In Hearthstone there was some drama earlier this year because players lost in some qualifier but then got invited to the next stage anyway and in the end these players were removed again but it seems like people in SC2 are not bothered by this. Strange. | ||

BasetradeTV does this a lot for their online tournaments. | ||

I'm sure the event will be pretty cool, but I don't really have much interest on watching this, even though I am a fan of a lot of those koreans. I seriously don't get this. I am personally very happy to see these koreans (mainly for sOs). The Koreans give me ample entertainment that foreigners don't, and if you REALLY want foreigners to win something, you should expect them to win against these mid-level koreans. You should know, other than sOs, the koreans here aren't the top Koreans and these foreigners should have a decent chance. We have bunny, uthermal and showtime, the best that the world outside Korea has to offer. So if they lose, you can't simply complain because they at least bunny and showtime have proven to be able to beat korean-level players. | ||

I want more and more and gfinity is giving me what I want. Cheers. | ||

So I am really happy, that Gfinity didnt become a run down foreigner arena but a arena for top lvl Starcraft II. Maybe not the Top of the Top Lvl, because of Schedule issues, but still top lvl. And if you ever met persons like Patience, Sacsri or San, you wouldnt say anything against the Koreans. | ||
