East vs West

[s]event[/s]

South Korea is the dominant force in StarCraft. They have the best players, the best coverage and the best leagues. Now they take on the rest of the world in a series of showmatches organized by WGTour.



Every player is not set yet, so there might still be a pleasant surprise or two. However, the players that are already confirmed are split into two teams. Korea vs the rest. Or actually it is Asia vs rest. China PJ, although not confirmed, is rumored to play for the Asian team.

World Asia
Ukraine mYm.yAn South Korea GGanDDa[Ete]
Russia mYm.A2 South Korea NsP_Blaze
Poland mYm.Draco South Korea Qoo)Vitamin
Poland mYm.Raven South Korea AranG
Poland mYm.SunCow South Korea T.3)CuteBOy
Canada ToT)Testie(rS South Korea Siz)Kal
Poland ToT)Spawn( South Korea H_Paul_WII
Lithuania ToT)Anon(

Both teams are subject to change, but all these players have confirmed. There may be additional players, as previously mentioned PJ. A player from each team will face off in a best out of 5 match. The plan is to have 3-4 showmatches a month. The winning players team will recieve one point after each match. The players from America and Europe should be well known for most of you. As should Korea H_Paul_WII (picture), perhaps better known as oG)Paul to some. Korea AranG is a former progamer. Korea CuteBOy and Korea Blaze represent some of the best korean clans in T.3 and NsP. Korea Vitamin is a semi-pro gamer representing a clan with numerous progamers, Qoo). That leaves Korea Siz)Kal and Korea GGanDDa[Ete]. According to GosuGamers sources they are both progamers with a smurf nick. Kal is reportedly from the KOR team while GGanDDa is from Soul. Some of the Protoss players in KOR include ZeuS, terato and Oasis[alive]. The Soul team feature some of the following Zergs: SaSin)Child, CCoMa, KimWanChul and TheWind. Could it be any of these?

spawn.jpgThe first showmatch is probably happening this Friday (23rd of December) and it will feature Poland ToT)Spawn( (picture), who goes up against the entertaining Zerg player South Korea H_Paul_WII.

The organizers and administrators behind this event are United States Dknight, Poland InKline and South Korea T.3)CuteBOy. InKline has told GosuGamers that he will be doing shoutcasts in Polish, but is also hoping to get Canada Micro-Lzuruha to do English casts and there is even a possibility for German casts.

The map pool consists of the maps in the table below. The classic map Lost Temple is included as well as some of the newer maps made for the Korean leagues.

Lost Temple
Rush Hour
Forte
R-Point
Luna

There are still a few details to be worked out around this series, but it looks extremely promising. GosuGamers will of course keep you updated on the matches, the shoutcasts, the players and of course provide Gosubets whenever possible.
