Yeah, KeSPA Cup is at the same level of IEM and DH (pre-region lock) - which is still a big achievement for a foreigner to win. Neeb's victory is perhaps on par with Lilbow winning WCS last year (though some will argue that it's higher, due to KeSPA Cup being so stacked and hosted in Korea). Tbh I'm really not sure how to rate KeSPA Cup in the bigger scheme of things. How seriously do the Korean pros treat it and prepare for it? Even when watching last year's tourneys, I don't really feel the same level of intensity from the top players. | ||

Even when watching last year's tourneys, I don't really feel the same level of intensity from the top players. I think that just depends on the players like usual. You could clearly see TY and Trap prepared a lot of different builds and strategies and were pretty invested into this one tournament, while other players just did the same things they always do. | ||

Korean SC 101: Tourney level on Korean perspective Premier: Blizzcon, GSL, SSL - if you win these tourneys, then Koreans consider the winner has "winning career." To be a Bonjwa, you should win these tourneys 3 times within a year. First tier - Tournaments with big prize/authority, such as IEM world, WCS season finals or DH winter (winter is bigger one, right?) Second tier - other short-term tournaments like KeSPA Cup, Cross-finals, IEM, DH, and so on. Third tier - others | ||

Congratulations to Neeb! You are our new foreign hope. I guess NA is the best server  Avilo should switch to Protoss himself to prove his theory. Maybe he is afraid that if he does he will now be complaining about how "OP" Terran is, with the lifted building and all. It would be one of the funniest stories woudn't it?  | ||
