maybe some of them still don't know

also players like Maru probably just do not care, because they are pretty sure they will qualify via the GSL tournaments

oh and sometimes other events are played at the same time (which have higher prize pools)

(and some players are now doing their military service)

Neeb is a funny one. Disappears for a while, comes back and randomly wins a european online cup. Now, he'll probably disappear until cup #8 or something

The whole "no real announcements of Korean Circuit" probably plays a huge role in this :/

He played a lot of games on the EU ladder though (around 800 according to sc2unmasked), and you were able to see him at very high MMR (6800-6900) on HeroMarine streams for example, these past few weeks.
I had the chance to get destroyed by Clem this #5 EU cup, too bad he didn't go all the way again. Only 1 cup out of 5 is almost worrying since he is the chosen one of the prophecy :o

What other events would that be?

Did Scarlett play random? (color code yellow?)

Congratz to Neeb, Zest and Denver!


yes we use yellow as the color code for rnd


Thanks. Was just wondering if this is a typo kinda thing.

So Scarlett playing random, does that mean something? Is she tired of Zerg? Tired of SC2 in general? Or just wanted to craze it up a bit? Losing to Eggz hast to be considered a huge upset IMO


Scarlett has been known to play random online once in a while in smaller tournaments and she also sometime play straight up protoss.
The whole "can you change race" thing is because she once pulled out a 7 gates vs DRG at MLG Anaheim before switching back to zerg and winning the series.
According to the somewhat unclear rules she should probably have been DQ, but it made for an epic moment.

Olimoleague seems to have more Koreans tho

Olimoleague and Kung Fu Cup have more money and are better established (and even then there's a group of players that skip them 98% of the time). IIRC about a week or so after the ESL announcement dropped someone asked Zest about it and that was the first he learnt of the whole thing.

Olimoleague and Kung Fu Cup schedules do not conflict with the EPS; also, the latter are official competitions and give a small amount of ESL points.
It should be reasonable to expect korean participation to increase over time.
