Joris de Kleer honestly if you ever play vs the top 50 of south korea. U'd know why he said that. They play on 6-9 ping. Everything registers perfectly and almost instantly. Reaction time there is atleast 3 times faster than eu for example. They practice 10-14 hours a day. Watch on youtube games of 4 stack korean pros and u will see what it looks like.
Unlike other countries. Korea actually gets supported A LOT for gaming. They even started some kind of school for gaming. (but for a specific game not all). Thats why they're more advanced. But i really hope people start choosing actual good players on a team rather than popular players cause thats what happened last time and they got reeekt haaaard. Also i hope they actually have a passion to win and give everything on their practices.
Fricky If you actually watched any of this years World Cup play offs so far you’ll know that it is professional players on all sides rather than RUclipsrs and pros
A committee was chosen and the committee chose the players. This year's world cup consisted of mostly pro players. Unfortunately, while that is true, South Korea got to do the same.
Korea does get a lot of support for gaming, inside the game industry only. Outside of it, it is pretty much considered "evil" as it gets in your way for studies and job. So no.
It's just a myth perpetuated by western countries to make themselves feel better whenever they get wrecked by South Korea. In reality, South Koreans just study or work. A Korean that does neither pretty much get looked down upon as failures of society. So it's rather funny that westerners think Koreans "accept" gaming and think gamers are "popular". Korean students have no time to play games. They go to school from 9 to 5. Attend cram school from 5 to 9. Study from 9 to 12. And then sleep. Any spare time (if any) is spent on retaining their sanity through video games, sports, etc. E-sports players pretty much have no recognition in South Korean society. The only one that is known by a significant portion of the South Korean population is BoxeR.
Sombreeny Actually it is because there is more than 1 winning position in a tournament. If you forget Korea it’s a competition between the other countries as well.
gaming as accepted...uh if you have grown up in Korea, you well know gaming is regarded as evil and does nth towards your studies and heavily frowned upon
true, korean here and even if the the govt is supporting esport because KesPa, most people here have to train hard in order to be atleast considered good.
Nicky Fandino If blizzard were willing to forget about their pride and reverse changes things would be fine with hog and Ana. Ana at the time understandably needed a nerf but with the current meta reversing her damage nerf would probably fix a lot. They decided to tweak hog whilst he was unplayable for months until they completely changed his character but was somewhat playable rather than just revert the damage nerf on him too. I just want to play support without having to go mercy because anything else is a detriment to the team.
Genji agreed. Overwatch balancing team never "tweaks". They either completely reverted the change or try something new and ended up creating new different character. Now I didn't see much problem with the latter, but it kinda is when they have so many heroes.
Nicky Fandino yeah I used to be a fan of hog but when his play style changed to what it is now I don’t enjoy it the same way I used to. But the fact is the current mercy patch is terrible to watch and ruined some pro games in APAC from a viewer perspective. Tournaments are literally still playing on the previous patch because of this change being so drastic with junk and mercy lmao.
Genji call me autistic gengu main but my top 3 played heroes are Genji, Ana, Roadhog. Before ana / hog nerfs, it was not drastically different between 3 of them. Like genji was 10 hours, ana 7 hours, hog 5 hours. Now that 2 of them were completely butchered, my genji was significantly more played than any other heroes.
Wizardxeze You can watch all the games on, Twitch just look up PlayOverwatch, then go to their videos and you can see all of the professional games so far. The same thing will happen when it is out.
Llöl No it doesn't. All you do now is fly and heal and damge boost and plus it doesn't change the course of the game. You can only rez 2 people at a time. With old mercy, You could bring your whole team back to life from a huge ult that took out your team and get the most important reason, the reason i main Mercy, You could easily get Play Of The Game. Now who doesn't like a good mercy POTG.
I feel like to beat south korea you have to play something unexpected that is a double edged sword, basically you need wraxu if he pops off you win and if he has a bad day rip.
I like how the whole tournament now is less WIN THE CUP and more BEAT SOUTH KOREA
Simon Blitzvonic if you beat south korea, you win the cup
Last words or Flow3r..omg
H82 Overwatch 많이 연습하세요 USA and France!
I'm quite confident we will see something nice also from China and Australia... tomorrow's APAC will show us something intheresting
H82 Overwatch You’re right. Can’t sleep on China.
I think the only thing can break China right now are VISA problems.. :(
Will you be @Blizzcon? I will be there to represent my country as Caster / Content creator will be cool to meet you!
Anything to say to your opponents?
Flower: I just wish they practice a lot
LOOOOOOOOOL this man is a Legend haha
yep
This man is a kid
SK esports is often critical of other regions not taking the game seriously. Perfect response imo
agreed. watch sc2 wol and koreans talk about how other countries play for fun in the foreign esport scene
World: "NERF SOUTH KOREA!"
Jeff: " Everyone else in the world has to work harder."
Flow3r: "I just wish they practice a lot."
I just hope they practice a lot... Savage
exactly what I thought
Joris de Kleer omg this motivated me so much

Shots fired xD
My Korean overlords can't be this cute
Galactic123 tf
Oh but they are ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
*A god king crush peasants.. lol ✅😎*
Give torb wall climb
One of the few comments that made me burst out laughing. Cheers and agree.
I was just thinking the one thing that overwatch lacks
And give him tracers blinks
remnantOW true
Give Torb 100 more abilities than every other hero
The guy from South Korea: "I just wish they practice a lot." 😂😂 Savage.
Hey everyone. I have a joke:
The Italian Overwatch team
(I'm Italian btw)
#BuffItaly
Leonardo Bruzzone nerf south korea
You haven't seen australia or Brazil then
That korean guy said to the world " i just wish they practiced a lot" and the way he said it is scary .
We all know the next episode...
NERF KOREA JEFF
One *_its more about buffing the rest of the world_*
They did, by buffing Mercy. Now other teams actually have a chance.
One buff others
HAHA Just make their servers run at 200 Ping all the time XD
Burgerpants???
Vive la France ! Surtout Alphacast
Seul équipe qui peut faire face à la Corée .
*surrenders*
"surrenders" You will lose your first match so you can actually surrender usa x)
Vrai.
It's funny how americans always forget that without France helping them against the English, they would never have their own country.
0:27 "they'll either taste bitter defeat" shows clip of xqc raging. Perfect.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW! mercy is OP to nerf korea. a korean mercy isn't as scary as a korean ana
Who's the next hero at Blizzcon?! New healer pls :3
Big fan
Oh boy, time to watch South Korea win again
Taimou had tears in his eyes talking about money and his mom, what a nice guy
Hyped!!
Louis Royale hi
Let’s go guys!! Hype is real!!
kemuael it already finishes, 8 teams remain which will play at blizzcon
I like the fact that they do the different countries. Gives me a reason to root for someone
Team OverWatch who's with me
Perfect way to set the stage for new comers who don't watch the OW World Cup and missed qualifiers
Basically fight for second place...
Very nice, keep up the good work with this format! Lots of info, lots of color from the players, perfect digestible duration!
Maybe they will finally release Sombra at blizzcon!
For him the ARG is still going on.
God Blizzard is so good, OWL and world cup, just quality stuff across the board.
#BuffAna2017
NO BUFF FOR ANA
I WANT BUFF FOR WIDOW ✌
S K D widow already received a buff it was reduced time on her grapple hook and being able to see poisoned enemy through walls Ana needs a buff
OK KING 😆
😂😂

UK FANS WHERE YOU AT?!
*Gets flashbacks from Australia VS Korea*

Shi Shi Hmmmm doubt its considered “evil” considering being good at games can make you popular at school and so on. Unlike the west.
It's just a myth perpetuated by western countries to make themselves feel better whenever they get wrecked by South Korea. In reality, South Koreans just study or work. A Korean that does neither pretty much get looked down upon as failures of society. So it's rather funny that westerners think Koreans "accept" gaming and think gamers are "popular".

It's not really a competition when we already know who's gonna win
Sombreeny Actually it is because there is more than 1 winning position in a tournament. If you forget Korea it’s a competition between the other countries as well.
Want to hear a joke
Mercy is balanced
Tim Murphy Lol
"They either taste bitter defeat"
*Shows xQc*
#avecle6 go go France !!!!
Mcoco76 avecle6 in 2017 LUL
always love watching S.Korea matches.
Bring more Lucio Skins
although ive seen many people vote for korea to win but still dont get your hopes up too high guys theres a chance that korea might lose
UK ALL THE WAY🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
But we are not gonna win cause South Korea will smash us anyway🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Hammer Sam We might at least get to the final I doubt USA will they are vs SK
We can try but in the end.....we have no hope against the mostrocity that is South Korea...R.I.P dreams
He is right, if you're not team South Korea, then the goal is more about slapping the crown off their heads instead of taking the throne
Any response about LACK of response after mercy rework ?
Simon Zane Mercy rework is the best thing to happen to Overwatch since launch
It's the literal worst thing to happen.
BRING BACK RESURRECT
*delete resurrect
*delete mercy
Can't wait for korea to win
Such variety
Buff Roadhog
I support Team USA but what I mostly want is any team besides South Korea to win.
Finals will be south korea versus uk
yosh
ProPenguin or sweden
Sir Twerk uk will beat sweden
ProPenguin not by the way eunited have been playing
Sir Twerk nah m8
Welcome to the Overwatch Mercy Cup!
gaming as accepted...uh if you have grown up in Korea, you well know gaming is regarded as evil and does nth towards your studies and heavily frowned upon
true, korean here and even if the the govt is supporting esport because KesPa, most people here have to train hard in order to be atleast considered good.
Yep that’s what my korean teachers said
3:22 Perfect description, I must say.
First dislike because they gonna play the World Cup round of 8 on this mercy patch.
Ana is literally an old woman waiting to die in Overwatch
Nicky Fandino If blizzard were willing to forget about their pride and reverse changes things would be fine with hog and Ana. Ana at the time understandably needed a nerf but with the current meta reversing her damage nerf would probably fix a lot. They decided to tweak hog whilst he was unplayable for months until they completely changed his character but was somewhat playable rather than just revert the damage nerf on him too.
I just want to play support without having to go mercy because anything else is a detriment to the team.
Genji agreed. Overwatch balancing team never "tweaks". They either completely reverted the change or try something new and ended up creating new different character. Now I didn't see much problem with the latter, but it kinda is when they have so many heroes.

brush your teeth kids
Yeahhh that's not funny at all.
Edix EW WTF
Wow you seem like a nice guy
Having teeth removed and/or straightened is expensive, being kind to people less fortunate than yourself is not.
Edix braces are expensive fam fk u
Does anyone realize that USA is going to vs South Korea but no one even talks about us going against Korea
اول st
Japan losing to Australia when they were so close hurt my heart on so many levels 😢
I don’t root for any team but i hope if any team other than south korea win so i feel that there’s difference compared to last year’s world cup
I feel like to beat south korea you have to play something unexpected that is a double edged sword, basically you need wraxu if he pops off you win and if he has a bad day rip.
I'm pretty excited! I just hope they change Mercy before the finals so it isn't so difficult and uninteresting to watch, like APAC has been.
They are living the life
hopefully team usa can win against korea this year
Blizzard really needs to put the Overwatch World Cup jerseys on sale. I would probably buy all of them
