What are the comments; are they surprised or were they familiar with Neeb already? I'm curious how much foreign SC2 the Koreans watch.

Something here doesn't really add up guys. I'm just not sure what it is.

It is the same olds problem: Even if it is perfectly balance protoss gameplay simply doesn't look and "feel" interesting/fair a lot of the time.
Obviously there is a huge anti protoss bias going on, but why? Imo it is a lot about how the game looks when one race wins over the other. I will be honest and say that i don't get massively excited when watching mass adepts either.

▶ Actually, I did not expect myself to advance Ro.8. I've mostly practiced ZvZ 6 hours every day. And somehow I got Zest.

Goes to Korea, helps Nerchio fix his ZvZ and still advances. What a baller.

yea, it often doesn't look satisfying when protoss wins, it usually just looks disgusting even if it actually is fair lol, especially Zest in PvT...

and that sig is quite good

Seriously, people don't want foreigners to do good vs Koreans, and if they do, they are raging and blaming balance.

I've been rooting for Neeb for a while now and I'm really happy for him, and now we have someone to cheer for on a major Korean bracket.

Come on guys!!


I think it has to do with the extremes the fans go through with regards to the koreans in general and the WCS 2016 system.

Korean beats Foreigner "gg all too easy, WCS made foreigners rich for nothing"

Foreigner beats Koreans " WCS system has weakened Korean will to succeed, they don't care anymore"

it's not like there's no truth to this. even neeb said that it's hard for koreans to stay motivated if they have nothing to play in.

don't understand the adept hate btw.
I think they are really fun units and they don't seem to strong either. I see a lot of games where they appear completely useless.
Ultras on the other hand...


also Neeb only beat a horribly out of shape Zest and a Rouge who has shown nothing the entire year.
not too impressed.

Yes its mostly about how the game itself looked. Win and Loss are influenced by a Million variables so its hard to find evidence that a certain Variable made the Difference in The end. Lots of Protoss things like Oracles rekking Mineral lines in seconds, DTs rekking everything or a huge Ball of adepts are frustrating to watch and play against at times. Besides that i hate the adept due to the ability to cancel Shades they can be basically in two places at the same time (aka Schroedingers Adept). On top of that the shade ability is almost never used in an exciting way. Usually its just used to Switch between Mineral lines that are being harassed or to bridge distances and therefor undermine defensive Position without real counterlplay to it. The predictablity to the shade use makes it rather boring. Basically the Adept is a stronger Zealot and thats it. Last but not least Adepts dont really allow for entertaining micro (just like Zealots)

well, that horribly out of shape Zest can still beat the current GSL champ twice, so I have to wonder what would still impress you in sc2
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

yeah but that was tvp where Zest was untouchable for half a year, surely he hasn't forgotten everything he knew about that matchup. in the other matchups however...
at least we now know why he cannonrushed Trap. was probably his only shot at winning the game if his pvp is this bad.

Sure, Zest has stronger and weaker matchups, but you can not deny that ByuN is the best Terran in the world and that Zest just beat him twice, which still puts him on that top level as a player overall.

And an 18 year old american kid, just flew to Korea and 4-0ed his group against some of the very best players in Korea. Yes he luckily got to dodge ByuN, but if you look at the history of foreigners competing in Korea, look at the history of NA sc2, this achievement is still huge and should objectively speaking be classified as "impressive".
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
