(Wiki)StarCraft II: NationWars V


South Korea upheld its reputation as the StarCraft II powerhouse of the world, lifting the NationWars V championship trophy in front of a cheering Parisian crowd. The Netherlands managed to take three games off Korea in the best-of-nine final, but were unable to stop a rampaging (Wiki)INnoVation who took all five maps for Korea. It was the second year in a row that INnoVation played an instrumental part in Korea's NationWars victory, with the Machine Terran closing out Poland in the 2017 finals. The South Korean will take home $25,000 in prize money, while the Netherlands earned $12,500 for their efforts.



The Netherlands advanced to the finals after defeating Mexico 4-2, while Korea defeated Finland 4-0 on the back of a true all-kill (no revives) from (Wiki)soO. After putting in solid performances for Korea during the online portion of the tournament, Korean captain (Wiki)MMA enjoyed a spot on the victorious side without having to win a single game during the live portion.

I like how when Innovation loses, he basically just updates, restarts, scans for errors, and crush faces.

Team Korea is the only team where all three players got an allkill. Not a bad showing. Watching the banter between MMA, soO, and Inno was also really fun, and not something you get to see every day from the Koreans.

The highlight for me is team Netherlands run and their reactions during each tense moments and victories, the teammate cams make this event great.

I really wish for a proleague format next time tough, and less breaks in-between games for the online portion at least :p

Definitely a entertaining last tournament day. While things didn't go completely smooth offline, it still was a very fun day. A little disappointed that Serral didn't win a game or two or his Finnish mates who both were not too far away from a win.

Overall the tournament had some very fun events, such as Reynor showing his power, Showtime vs Serral, Special vs Korea and TurkeyDano doing some fun things.

Hoping for a next one as well!

Watching it live was pretty fucking amazing, really loved it!
The KR - NL match was perfect for my liking since uThermal played well and dropped mules, the match wasn’t one sided since Harstem managed to beat INno once, KR won as I wanted, etc.

Sending MMA first was a very good strategy from KR, they were able to see what uThermal was going to do in TvT with their weakest player, so INno (aka a Terran with better mechanics than MMA) would have more intel before going into his match.
Since MMA was good enough for uThermal to bring out his A game, he actually did the exact same build against INno, who adapted very well (bunker and sending only one cyclone instead of two inside the medivac).

Great tournament

I like how the Kong aura is so strong that people regularly forget (or neglect to mention) that he won Kespa Cup.
