I'd argue that almost going 2-0 against innovation is more impressive than looking strong against gumiho. I understand wanting Elazer though - he's waaaaay stronger in zvz (which is why he did better in wcs) and he's on a back of a championship so his mentality will be quite good.


Elazer is stronger in every mu, so he is the better choice. Scarlett is good and popular but Snute is also better. Do we want the best players to represent us as a team or what?

Scarlett is a better choice than Elazer as she is the better player. Elazer is better in ZvZ, but that is not that important against Koreans.

Not a surprise, the voterbase was approximately the same for all six spots and 0.24 < 0.27.

On the plus side, perfectly balanced distribution with 5P/5T/6Z. David Kim wins again!

Yah. I mean sOs is not in best form but he is still sOs. Always entertaining with his crazy builds.

Was hoping for gumigod, he deserved it more than herO/ByuN/sOs

Hopefully with such a big prizepool sOs is motivated more than usual. He's only $25K of becoming the highest earning starcraft player
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I'm assuming you mean SC2.
sOs is THE ONLY player I pay attention to

I believe they announced that the Ro16 would be 8 matches of Korean vs foreigner, if that's what you mean.

So an all-Korean Ro8 then. Still neat though

I personally think GuMiho or Classic is deserved more than sOs to be there.

It could be the best line up of KR if GuMiho was picked as the wildcard.

As a Chinese wildcard for WorldAllstars, iAsonu is a great zerg who is ranked 11 in WCS Circuit but I don't think he is same level as either Snute or Elazer.

Both team are pretty much starting without their full best line up :/

It's true that some top-tier players aren't attending, but let's be real, any one of the six players on Team Korea that aren't sOs/ByuN could likely solo Team World if they went serious mode.

wildcard to sOs...FFS

for what exactly did he deserve that?! no results whatsoever entire year
if they wanted another protossthere's plenty much better choices.
Not to mention Gumiho as obvious choice for wildcard...

better player? you living in 2012? because that is certainly not true in 2017
Elazer/Snute would've been much better choice than Scarlett for every single matchup
