As it says in the title, reigning Blizzcon and GSL champion ByuN has decided not to attend the offline portion of NationWars in France, instead opting to focus entirely on the GSL instead. This was announced on Team expert's website. The team also uses this opportunity to thank Afreeca (the hosts of GSL) for switching the dates of two GSL groups to allow Scarlett to attend NationWars.

Everyone rooting for Team Korea, do not fret, as Korea's substitute player is the highly unorthodox (P)sOs*, one of the most tricky and dangerous players in the world.

The NationWars IV offline portion will take place on January 21st (this Saturday), be sure to tune in.


*Korea's original substitute was Maru, who also withdrew from the competition

Hm, the news changed already .

Second replacement is still pretty good though.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Not cool but understandable. I hope jetlag won't affect scarlett for her GSL run.

Definitely more beatable than before now I think. Korean Terrans are always the most scary for foreigners.

Solar would have been the next choice after Maru I think, but because of the Scarlett switch his group is now on the day NationWars is held.

Dunno where soO landed in the poll, but definitely behind sauce.

I mean how are we ever gonna convince Nazgul to make Liquid'soO happen if O'gaming doesn't rig the NationWars poll results to make sure we can see him outside of Korea?

Korea lost alot of firepower.

Protoss has much harder times to be "save against anything" then other races I feel.

I'd say sOs is a fair trade I wouldn't say they're that much weaker. Maru would have been ideal though after he 3-0'd scarlett and nerchio the other day

edit: they have Inno does it really matter??
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
