What Kespa Cup has reaffirmed to me:

1: Foreigners can improve and compete at the highest level with enough incentive.

2: The incentive that Koreans have long been provided is eroding.

3: The sustainability of the best possible SC2 is under serious threat.

So sad Nerchio didn't make it but I think he still showed us some amazing games he can be proud of.
I was on the edge of my seat all the time. The matches were much more entertaining and closer than most of GSL this year.
It felt like Maru was having a really hard time and I'd love to see a bo7 between them. Waiting for Blzzcon!

Might even be an all-Toss semis. Maru has the best chance of changing that.

Mvp be with him.


Definitely TY has a better chance. His TvP style is quite solid. Maru's TvP style on the other hand is like "go full retard, hope he will mess up". If Patience have held his creazy pushes, Stats will do it as well.

Stats is an expert at messing up in PvT.

Just saw the games. I´m sad that Nerchio is out, but he could´ve made it through just as well.

Very happy though to see Nerchio playing Code S level. There is no skill difference between him and Korean top Zergs.

Looking forward to the matches, but again a tournament with so much protoss and so little zerg.

It's true that there are a lot of Protoss, but considering the previous two Korean tournaments were won by a Zerg and a Terran, I'm hoping to see a Protoss victor here.

It's kinda hard to say with just kespa cup, but he put up a very good showing indeed. The problem now is that Koreans will consider him an even greater threat in Blizzcon thus it'll be even harder to win. No surprise effect. Classic genuinely looked sad / lost after his loss.
Thank you for displaying such high level play Nerchio .

Patience beating fan favorites (Maru and to a lesser extent Nerchio since he's in a "love it or hate it" state with the public with his online trolls) as I expected haha. After actually seeing him play (I couldn't watch much of his GSL/SSL games) he looks fucking good o_o. He isn't yet a "big" name protoss but he sure plays like one, if only for being able to beat Maru & Nerchio relatively easily. It's amazing that he qualified for Blizzcon, he earned it being in the same group as his direct competitor Classic.

Not only that, Patience also cancelled all BlizzCon hopes of sOs, who was playing pretty well lately in PvP.

I love it when Nerchio Shit talks before matches and then doesn`t deliver... no BM
When he doesn`t do it he performs better maybe putting to much pressure on himself..
Sad story would have love to see him crush'em all


I wish people would stop complaining about players who have the bollocks to put their character forward. It's a sign of quality entertainment. People love to hate someone. I for one think we need more competitors who are not afraid to speak their mind.


depends.
there are people i love to hate. nerchio, lilbow, naniwa, marinelord... I don't want them to win, but they are interesting and they're making the community much more lively and split groups of people. it's great to have those guys around.
On the ther hand (notice, this is my personal flavor) i have people i don't like at all and that are just freaking me out and whenever i see them i turn off and simple skip the game, because their attitude, voice or whatever else annoys and angers me to death like scarlett or mc.

i think there is more than one type of "hate".

Soooo I only have time to watch one serie live, should I check Maru, Neeb or TY? I love Maru but I love good games more, I have the feeling TY v Zest could be a safer choice.

Unreliable romurs of KT disbanding, SKT too and not sponsoring PL next year. Fortunately the KT disband rumors are likely 99% fake judging by what Stats said in his kespa cup interview

The rumors tho fueled a sense of doom about the future of the Korean scene and that is not completely dispelled. Lots of arguments and blaming in the rumors thread...

You know this time of the year (aka post Proleague), when we are waiting for announcements and speculating, is typically tough >.<

Also Zest is playing like shit since over a month already
