OK first things first, it has already taken place so sorry about that!

Onto the match then. It was a series of 6 games played between Maka, everyone's favourite Korean terran, and (Z)Cool playing with a name that seems to translate as Fruit Trader. Cool also uses zerg in sc2 and in a snapshot of the Asian server stats taken yesterday he had both the highest rating (2335) and highest win percentage (72.9%, 191 wins and 71 losses) of all the top players. Ontop of that, he took 1st place in the recent PGR21 tournament so it is clear that he will prove a difficult challenge for Maka to overcome.

Without further ado then, the vods:

Game 1 - Lost Temple
Game 2 - Metalopolis
Game 3 - Metalopolis
Game 4 - Steppes of War
Game 5 - Steppes of War
Game 6 - Metalopolis

Not the most varied map selection but oh well...enjoy!

EDIT - Oh yes, there's also an interesting post on their forums. I'll stick the google translated version here as I think it gives a reasonable outline of what their plans are.

I can't be sure of course but it seems unlikely they will release them. I check the site most days though so if they do appear they'll get a link in this thread.

i only get a black screen where the VoD should be guess you need any fancy Korean codec
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

You don't need any additional player installed as they are just flash videos I think, maybe you've got noscript or a similar extension for your browser which is blocking them from loading?

If someone could upload these to youtube it would be much appreciated. They have one of the worst players I've used and I just can't stand it.

A bit more info has been surfacing on their forum regarding the starcraft 2 world cup they have planned. It seems that the goal is to have a total of 32 players for the main event, with 8 from China, 8 from Korea, 8 from the USA and 8 from Europe (this part is unconfirmed for now, well the USA and Europe teams anyway...but it does seem that they expect to have 32 players).

Qualifying for the Chinese positions already began today with 12 players fighting it out for 3 semi-final spots. No doubt there'll be a steady stream of similar events and info throughout the week.

More interesting for now is that a list of names for the Korean squad was posted up. Freedom, Check, Maka and Cool have all received automatic invites while the remaining 4 spots will be taken by the winners of a 16 player qualification process, those involved are listed below:

cosmic, hongjinho, isskincom, yongsukchang
gerrard, ssjm, zenio, dayfly
thewind, spunky, hannibal, leeraeun
ssks, anypro, slayersboxer, babybaby

Subs incase people don't turn up: inca, bluemassage, pelias

It'll be a pretty sick lineup.

Has anyone heard anything else regarding the event?

It's always nice to see organizations attempt to generate interest in SC 2 (even before the game is released!), and 17173.com is doing a great job at that with the world cup. It's unfortunate that SC 2 faces a number of issues in China due to the internet infrastructure, political situation, etc., but it's nice to see them try nonetheless.

Thanks for giving us a heads up, Bane.

So, watching a few of the replays and VODs from Korean and Chinese players, it seems that Zerg has taken a clear lead in Asian SC 2, while Terran is clearly behind. The most common match-up seems to be PvZ.

Edit: a typical PvZ from top platinum players in Asia - http://media.17173.com/sc2/2010-04-20/20100420201110585.shtml

They've since hosted two more showmatches so I figured it was worth linking the vods here again for those who don't check the 17173.com site.

1. hannibal (T) vs Spunky (P) in a best of 7. hannibal had the highest rating pre-reset (2412) and can reasonably claim to be one of the top terrans on the Asian server as he has placed quite well in a number of their tournaments. (P)Spunky is yet another of what seems like a legion of retired progamers who have resurfaced looking to make a name for themselves again in this new game and was Garimto's pick as the best sc2 protoss when asked during his interview with Artosis. I should note these were played on the 23rd of April (still patch 8) but I don't think that detracts from the games as they play well and employ a range of strategies throughout the series.

Game 1 - Metalopolis
Game 2 - Blistering Sands
Game 3 - Lost Temple
Game 4 - Kulas Ravine
Game 5 - Steppes of War
Game 6 - Scrap Station
Game 7 - Lost Temple


2. DayFly (T) vs Check (Z) in a best of 5. You might well have expected the races to be Orc and Night Elf...but no, we find ourselves in new and exciting times and both players are fully committed to reliving the progaming dream in sc2. Check has consistently had the most games played on the Asian server and must be close if not over the 5000 mark by now. I think he has also been a part of pretty much every tournament they've held over there to date with a string of high finishes. DayFly has been almost invisible by comparison, presumably smurfing or sticking to private games as he hasn't featured in any tournaments or ladder ranking lists, yet his play is definitely of a high calibre when judged by current standards. This series was played yesterday (today for some?) on the 26th of April so it remains perfectly relevant.

Game 1 - Incineration Zone
Game 2 - Scrap Station
Game 3 - Steppes of War
Game 4 - Desert Oasis
Game 5 - Metalopolis

Enjoy.


As for the sc2 world cup, it seems they have put a halt on the planned qualifiers for now as Blizzard have been slow in certifying it (i.e. they still haven't) and it is pointless to get too far along in the process with that uncertainty hanging around. The info posted above about the Korean team still seems to be current and I've not found anything as yet discussing the potential EU/USA teams.

More was finalized for the Chinese team however, with the following 8 players apparently receiving direct invites: Loner, E3_Super, Beckham, V.A_MTY, Newlife, W_Y_W, V.A_xiaOt and S.C_WAWP. There are then 16 players who will have to earn their place by topping the following groups:

A. SCI)_DPR , S.C_Vulture , EricPanda , Empty
B. ACE , E3_FengZi , StriveMacSed , xiaozhu
C. S.C_PJ , V.A_GoL , DEEP , Gale
D. F91 , 小白兔 , Evil , Main

Hopefully it goes ahead since there are so many big Korean and Chinese names involved that it should blow away all of the previous tournaments in the beta.
