In fact, globalization was proceeding rapidly for a long time and it was hard to believe that globalization would be pushed back. How globalization influences our daily lives is still a controversial issue. The KOF Globalisation Index can be downloaded from. Future research should use the new KOF Globalisation Index to re-examine other important consequences of globalization and why globalization was proceeding rapidly in some countries, such as South Korea, but less so in others. The results suggest that de facto and de jure globalization influence economic growth differently. Following Dreher ( Applied Economics, 38(10):1091–1110, 2006), we use the new index to examine the effect of globalization on economic growth.

The community will have to settle the debate another time though, as champion coL.CC|Filipino Champ elected to use Magneto, Dormammu and Doctor Doom against LXG|Infrit's Nova, Spencer and Sentinel. There was quite a lot of discussion of Phoenix during the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 finals many high level players and commentators believe the character is overpowered. In the end, CafeID|Mad KOF emerged victorious, fronting Duo Lon, Chin and Kim, while opponent IGL|BALA used three different teams, which Takuma and Shen making multiple appearances. Making its EVO debut, King of Fighters XIII was one of the most commentated streams, with viewers praising the high level play not expected of such a new event - but then again, the KoF community is well-established and practiced. It was Kung Lao who brought KN.EMP|Perfect Legend to victory, though, taking out vVv.NOS|CDjr, who tried Rain and Kabal but only took one of four rounds. Mortal Kombat was a really mixed bag with plenty of unusual play styles and character choices one final eight qualifier, CoCo|M2Dave, brought Freddy Krueger to the floor. WW.MCZ|Infiltration and Laugh took the day with a Rolento and Ryu combo opponents EG|Ricky Ortiz and CVPR|PR Balrog fronted Rufus and Ryu.
