User was warned for this post In the good old days, Mods would have seen that as Joke  Especially at 12-10-10 which is so nice balance of races, its just perfect for viewers lets hope for very few mirrors in the first rounds | ||

other than that, hopefully at least one of them can make it through to the RO 16 this time. it was really heartbreaking to see scarlett fail so closely last season | ||

These two are going to be matched up against some ridiculously good players. Their achievement to get this far is great and anything beyond this will be amazing to see. this is where i'm at with it too. foreigners competing in korean leagues is hype. if some people don't feel that, well, sucks for them. i never really understood the whole mentality of "anything worse than the best i've ever seen is trash." it's what contributes to toxic ladder attitudes as well. you get people in diamond raging and calling each other worthless garbage players because everyone is being compared to this ridiculous, impossible standard of being like taeja or life or byun or soo the talent pool feels a little thin these days, sure. but scarlett and major vs. the korean heavyweights in an offline tournament is fucking cool, just like snute vs korean heavyweights in IEM was cool and just like it will always be cool. if you're too fixated on your meritocracy about THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST to enjoy it, then well, i dunno. everyone is different, i suppose! i dunno. i watch foreign WCS qualifiers and it's fun. the hype for me comes from whether the tournament is a big deal and whether the games are close/interesting, which doesn't require that both players be the literal best in the world. i kind of suspect that all the people who claim they "just want to see the best" would get pretty sick of the top players if they just repeatedly streamed showmatches against each other with no prize money or trophies on the line. the synthetic drama of the competition is what makes it interesting | ||

It's just that making Code S isn't nearly as much of an achievement as it would be 2-3 years ago. Don't know where's the problem with pointing that out. | ||

I see Sasha upsetting everyone when she takes out Inno. Grats to both Scarlett and Major, and that they do well in GSL Think you might be getting a little ahead of yourself there. I'm all for optimism, but there is difference between that and suicidal overconfidence. There are only two people that can take on Inno right now and their names are Stats and Dark. | ||

great job by both players. foreign country, different language, different culture.... its tough enough to get into Code S without these other obstacles adding to the burden. | ||
