The Koreans are at it again getting securing a medal in 7 out of 12 games they joined in the recently concluding WCG Grand Finals at Busan, Korea. That includes 7 GOLD medals, 2 silvers, and 2 bronzes. They were just everywhere except for Carom 3D where they didn’t have a representative of course.
Korea managed to hold their ground in Starcraft after IM_Mvp successfully fended China’s iG.XiGua who managed to breeze through all his opponents unscathed only to lose twice in a row in his battle for supremacy against the most decorated Starcraft 2 pro-gamer of 2011.
However, could it be that Korea’s hold on Starcraft is slipping? I mean, for sure they have held the gold since WCG started 11 years ago but it should also be noted that they usually have at least 2 representatives in the podium, except for those times when 2 of their reps had to eliminate each other of course. This year on the other hand, with SC2 replacing Brood War, we only see 1 representative of theirs (although IM_Mvp is on top of the pile) with China and Ukraine’s Empire.Kaz taking Silver and Bronze respectively.
Also, it must have been a good move overall for the pro-gaming community for the WCG organizers to replace Brood War with SC2 since the game is getting pretty old only because the Koreans have such a dominant presence on it? What do you think?
