Why you should watch WCS China:
WCS China is taking place in Shanghai this weekend http://www.twitch.tv/wcschina , and will be casted by myself and the lovely Rob Simpson. Not many people are talking about this tournament, but they should be. Here’s why:
For those of you just joining the eSports world during SC2, let me say a few things about China’s standing in previous RTS games.
WarCraft 3 is so big in China, that Grubby needs a group of body guards around him at big events. I’ve seen it. Why is it so big over there? Well, because they kick ass at it. Sky was one of the early WCG winners, and it just took off from there. It can probably be argued that China is the strongest country in the world at WarCraft 3, and at minimum, second to Korea.
By the end of StarCraft 1, China was again arguably the 2nd best country in the world at the game, after Korea. They had many legendary players, such as F91, Super, Pj, and others, who were able to fight at times against the very top Koreans. In fact, Pj was the only non Korean who could go head to head with even the very best Korean players in StarCraft 1. The very best. He could beat them.
China has pro houses. China has eSports on TV. China has commercials and advertisements with progamers in them. The Chinese players have unbelievable work ethic. And most if not all practice on the Korean server. We just never hear about them. Here’s an outline of some of the players left in the tournament:
LoveCD: This is legendary WC3 player Sky’s younger brother. He’s shown great results so far in SC2.
Loner: Early on, Loner was the top Chinese player in SC2. He was picked up early on by top teams due to his very aggressive and insightful play. He got 2nd place to Genius at the first Blizzcon SC2 tournament.
ToodMing: He was one of the top players from China in SC1. He qualified for WCG back then.
F91: A dastardly Zerg in SC1, he went undefeated in TeamLiquid’s Liquibition show match series in dazzling fashion, with 5 straight wins. He took out the very best that the foreigners could offer.
XiGua: He got 2nd place in the very under watched WCG Grand Finals last year, losing in close games to MVP during his period of domination. He knocked out many good players.
Infi: A complete WC3 legend, taking down a WCG gold medal.
There’s more too. I wish I had time to do these players justice, but I guess I’ll just have to do my best while commentating them this weekend. I strongly suggest that everyone gives this tournament a try. We have a huge region of top end players who deserve our attention, and I’m certain will give us some amazing games.

I’m not sure exactly what time the stream starts. About to get on a plane to Shanghai, will start casting as soon as I get there.

Artosis makes a persuasive argument.
|
Artosis is great at persuasion and hype  Hope people do watch this, for Artosis at the minimum.
OP: a decent idea for promotion is to put that Artosis is casting this in the thread title.
|
Artosis got a lot prettier. ^^
|

|
Artosis needs to hurry!
They should've given him a personal helicopter.....
|
Hope Artosis will bring some bandwidth with him.
