Group A: True - > Jaedong Group B: Bunny -> Patience Group C: SOS -> Sacsri Group D: San -> Hydra I feel Bunny is at his strongest in TvT, So if he met Heart he would win. Secondly he never really had big problems against protoss either, and since no zerg is in the group i believe he will make it out as nr 1. | ||

I'm sure the event will be pretty cool, but I don't really have much interest on watching this, even though I am a fan of a lot of those koreans. | ||

Furthermore who goes in search of 'slightly worse than high skill' play? lol, what? How is that hard to understand? You don't have to agree with it but I don't see how you can't understand it. It is just really boring when 12 of the 16 players at an event like this are Koreans. I totally agree with that as well. If I want to see Koreans I can watch GSL. And if the foreigners largely lost to Koreans, then I wouldn't call these "NA and Europe" qualifiers. Of course you can't say anything about Koreans that actually live in NA or Europe but I am sure at least Symbol and San do not and maybe even more. Those shouldn't have been allowed to compete there. On the other hand it is also weird that Bunny and Hydra got invites to this after they lost in the qualifiers. Shouldn't the invites be decided before the qualifiers start, so that the invited players don't even play in the qualifiers? In Hearthstone there was some drama earlier this year because players lost in some qualifier but then got invited to the next stage anyway and in the end these players were removed again but it seems like people in SC2 are not bothered by this. Strange. | ||

Strange. I don't see why anyone would be bothered by this. At least you know the player that's invited is really interested in the tournament. BasetradeTV does this a lot for their online tournaments. | ||

I'm sure the event will be pretty cool, but I don't really have much interest on watching this, even though I am a fan of a lot of those koreans. I seriously don't get this. I am personally very happy to see these koreans (mainly for sOs). The Koreans give me ample entertainment that foreigners don't, and if you REALLY want foreigners to win something, you should expect them to win against these mid-level koreans. You should know, other than sOs, the koreans here aren't the top Koreans and these foreigners should have a decent chance. We have bunny, uthermal and showtime, the best that the world outside Korea has to offer. So if they lose, you can't simply complain because they at least bunny and showtime have proven to be able to beat korean-level players. | ||

Strange. I would really appreciate it if you explicitly explain why I should get this. Why would this be boring? Symbol? sOs? True? Personally I can't get enough of GSL. I want more and more and gfinity is giving me what I want. Cheers. | ||

So I am really happy, that Gfinity didnt become a run down foreigner arena but a arena for top lvl Starcraft II. Maybe not the Top of the Top Lvl, because of Schedule issues, but still top lvl. And if you ever met persons like Patience, Sacsri or San, you wouldnt say anything against the Koreans. | ||

And Events like Gfinity run during times where I can watch it live, while GSL, 3SL and SPL run during lunch time, when I do wörk wörk.

I would assume you meant to say 'you wouldn't say anything against the Koreans?' | ||
