most misssed the qualifiers by being in europe for dreamhack most likely and also, root doesn't exist anymore
You're gonna be able to watch the Koreans friggin dominate, especially Yonghwa and Gumiho, those 2 are sick skilled, wouldn't be surprised if they are the 2 finalists.
I am very interested how good the chinese players are. For a time Loner was hyped as the best chinese player bar none but he only showed a couple of incredibly great games and then became pretty bad afterwards.
But with the recent chinese tournament with top players around the world and 3 of the top 4 being chinese, that made me really curious.
Wow that bracket is pretty nice, I'm looking forward to all EU vs KR games Sad that I can't watch live but I'll sure watch the VODs, thx FXO for being so awesome.

Its an online tournament and MKP have not played great recently, so I think nerchio can win.
It's a stretch to say mkp hasn't done well recently considering how few games people play in gsl and how he just came off top 4 in super tourney. MKP has lost 3 games total in the last week in gsl and gstl. Nericho lost 2 games today to ogs hero in nasl qualifers. Therefore in the span of a week, mkp has lost 3 games and nericho has lost 2 games so I guess nericho hasn't done that well recently either.
I know people always look at gsl results cause that's all there is for most koreans, but most other tournies like mlg and dreamhack have bo3 in group stages. The amount of games someone could lose in group stages of either mlg or dreamhack could equal the same amount of games lost over like 4 or 5 gsls for someone.
There's nothing that can be done about that since koreans only have gsl for an entire month but I always found it strange how people are so quick to say someone is in a slump cause they lost a few of bo3 like mvp did when he fell down to code a.
MVP was never in a true slump as he still did well in gstl after he fell to code a and then he proceeded to make the code a finals and back into code s. A true slump is sustained bad performance over a number of games, not when someone loses a few bo3s.

MKP wins when he wants to win. When he loses it's just because he thinks he's on ladder and do silly things :D If he takes this seriously, no one will stand a chance !
And idra forfeit a tourney to cast...wanted to comment but no, no comment.

You realize MKP holds the highest win rate on the Korean ladder that spans over 3 accounts? If he has so much success on ladder by fooling around, I'm surprised he loses at all :O
We will need 5-6 NA accounts for the Asian players to play on the server in this tournament. We have some they can use but if anyone has a spare account they could lend just for the event that no one else is using PM me!

Hahaha.
XiGua is the best Zerg in China. Looking forward to him crushing some nerds.

None of them are on the level of the tip-top Koreans according to members from the Prime Team and a few Chinese casters/netizens, but the Chinese Protoss are definitely borderline Code S level. Same skill level as the likes of Naniwa and Huk, basically.
Amazing lineup, probably europes 2 most talented players in nerchio and sase. One of the strongest but most underrated koreans in YongHwa, and ofcourse the beastly chinese players. The americans are shit out of luck with these brackets, xiaot is gonna wreck that clown
