Obviously we will have great games and extremely top notch starcraft in the TSL4. : D And to the americans who feel sad about the meek US representation; get by your computer and practice your own heart out so that you can qualify for the next tsl. If it's so important to have people from your particular nation playing in a tournament you can as well see it as your own responsibility to make that happen. Otherwise; pick a player whom you like, NOT because of his nationality but because of his personality and style and root for that person! Even though I'm Swedish, I would never restrict myself to cheering primarily for the Swedish players when there are so many other players who stylistically appeal to me much more. Oh, well, excuse me for being patriotic. Should I also apologize for rooting for the Arkansas Razorbacks (my college football team), or the Americans in the Olympics? I mean, Canada might be better than us at Hockey, but fuck it, why wouldn't I cheer for the same people who came from where I came from? Leave it to a Swede to be stuck up about SC2 skill/players. I'm so sorry you're spoiled for choice, but that doesn't mean that I can't be disappointed that Sheth just barely missed qualifying or that Idra/HuK/Nony/QxC didn't make it. | ||

at least it's finally really nice to watch a tournament, which is almost solely based on qualifiers. Sad for NA and TL, though. | ||

I didn't ask for an apology, lol... I just think patriotism is irrational since I don't know any of the swedish players in person or have anything in common with them for certain. They may be the biggest douches in the scene, and yet the logic of patriotism tells me to cheer for them either way. I don't feel like doing that so blindly. I don't blame you for rooting for Sheth, Idra and QxC though! I would have really liked to see them in the tournament because they are great players that I enjoy watching. Because shouldn't that really be what matters? | ||
