If jetlag realy was this big of a factor, don t you think players would just go there a few days earlier? 3 more nights in a hotel cost like 100 bucks, if that could double or tripple your price money earnings that easily, they would all be in europe 1 week early.
I traveled around the globe (form Europe to North America, Southeast Asia and Australia) for sport competitions in the past and never realy felt any impact on my performance because of jetlag.

You would also need to factor in other changes, like food.
Korean food and Polish food are very different.

But the travel early to counter jetlag is something that Maru really should consider. He has complained about it repeatedly and you can see the in his face the difference between a long and gruelling day near his home compared to being in Europe. He is very much afflicted.

With the way Katowice is a yearly event, I am surprised that the Koreans haven't made preparations, a Korean house a la Noregret's foreigner house in South Korea or something similar.

I'll say it right now, I think Classic will make it out of his group. He's beaten both Byun and Gumiho in tournaments as recent as last month, he got to hide his PvT during the Play-in Stage and he is the king of Prep! Classic lets go!

Let's not use your personal experience. When you competed in sport competitions in the past, you were not competing in the Olympics (correct me if I am wrong here), however, IEM Katowice for Starcraft II is the equivalent of the Olympics in eSports. Go watch some ex-NBA player playing against NCAA/semi-pro hooper videos - Brian Scalabrine vs Regular people challenge. TLDR, he went 1v3, one of them was a professional overseas, but Scalabrine absolutely destroyed them. My point here is: the sports competitions you were in, slight changes in circadian rhythm doesn't matter, but it does matter for world's top players in sports. There, all of them devoted tens of thousands of hours in a game, the slightest change in lifestyle/physical-conditions could have significant impact.

Oof, this is really poorly argued. Did you register just to make this your first post?

For starters, even if there is a huge skill gap between the top players and some lower tier of still-professional players, what evidence do you have that issues with circadian rhythm only affect those top players, and not anybody else?


Changes in circadian rhythm affect everyone differently, but it does affect most of the population. The differences in skill doesn't really matter that much for low level players, whereas slightest changes matters for top players. I was a low master's league, it doesn't really matter if I am jet-lagged or drunk, I was more or less +/- that league. Could win when I was not in optimal condition. However, for top-level sports athletes, it really matters, you are not breaking the world record with a sub-optimal condition.

(I have always been on this forum, been watching every single premier tournament since 2010, but yes, this is a new account that I just created)

So far the most overperforming players compared to this Power Rank are Classic (+14) and Special (+16)
The most underperforming players are Clem (-14) and Bunny (-16).
Oliveira has a top 8 secured allready, wich means he also exceeded expectations by at least 13 places already

Crazy to think he might be world champion largely because Neeb decided to go back to studying

I compiled a list comparing the power rank with the actual finish placement:

[image loading]

While the biggest overperformance is (obviously) Oliveira, Special and Classic also did way better than expected.
The 2 biggest disapointments have been Bunny and Clem.

I used Groupstage Match wins as a tiebreaker for players that got eliminated on the same tournament stage. If players were still tied then, I sorted by Power Rank.

When you compare Oli's spot in the tournament with Clem/Bunny who were much further up the list. Even Zoun was above Oli and he only managed 25/26th spot.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

It really is crazy how much community we lost with the loss of the Chinese Blizzard scene. The CN community has been pushing the highest levels of gameplay; we have Oliveira who demonstrated such commitment to the game, there are also figures across other games.

In WoW, there were numerous of CN guilds that also participated in the race to world first with the recent raid release in December. They were able to get four guilds that were in the top 10 guilds of the RWF. Outside of that top 10, there were plenty of others too.

Not to mention, the CN scene for the last few years have known to be huge sponsors and fans of SC1 and SC2 as well. I just hope this schism doesn't persist; they are obviously huge gamers.
