Jos 'ret' de Kroon just won the first ever Zotac Cup in StarCraft history with taking down Protoss player Jian Fei 'IefNaij' Wang in the grand final. Kroon saves himself 100 Euro in prize money and talks to readmore.eu about his performance and the high skill level of Chinese players.
A little preview:
Did you expect that you would reach the finals?
ret: Not really, there were many great names in the tournament tree, especially Chinese players. Unfortunately, they lag with the rest of the world, and many of them had to be disqualified because the lag was unplayable... If that hadn't been the case, surely a Chinese player would have won the tournament.
The rest here: http://www.readmore.eu/index.php?cont=news&id=5026
enjoy!

Original thread title: "Ret: Exclude Chinese players from none Asian events SC"
This is really a sensationalist title that doesn't do anything other than make it seem like Ret is against Chinese people. If you read the article and interview, that's really not the case, as Ret credits their skill and says its unfortunate that they had to be banned but for the sake of game quality and future tournaments, he agrees with the admins decision to exclude them. The headline here should be that he won, not that he wants Chinese players excluded. Title changed.
