Earlier in the week I looked at map balance in season one of WCS (from the round of 32 onwards). It included various surprises; of the maps that remain in season two Alterzim has the wildest variance as it was imbalanced in all three match-ups (Zerg over Protoss/Terran; Protoss over Terran).
I also looked at the WCS America Qualifiers.
I saw some of the Copenhagen Games Spring tournament, but it was hampered by incessant microphone problems. There were a lot of good players attending and it's unfortunate nothing better could be produced. HyuN won the tournament easily (he was 18-4 in maps), with Happy coming second and Serral and elfi 3-4. Only two other Koreans participated, with Golden getting knocked out by Happy and Patience losing to elfi.
I watched some of the MLG Anaheim qualifier, but Destiny is an awful caster which made it difficult to enjoy the matches. MajOr, viOLet and HuK qualified.

A study looking at SC2 players concludes that they being to decline at age 24. As with all averages, I'd take the number as simply a basic guideline.
Speaking of older players, yet another has returned to competitive play in the name of Nony. I wasn't sure how serious he was, but he qualified for WCS Challenger which demonstrates a solid amount of skill.
