i dont rage, even if Bisu and Sea are cornered right now. Its also strange that more hate some player gains for his moves, more i like him (i was no fan of Hydra, even if I REALLY think that he will be another great zerg, and yet with all the hate he is given now, i really start to like him. Same was with Shine) Oh, and to hate my favorite ZvZ player? Hell no!
Shameless BroodWar separatistic, elitist, fanaticaly devoted puritan fanboy.

Flash will get crushed by Bisu.+ Show Spoiler +
like what happened in WL finals

Then lose to Jaedong/Sea in losers match.
Now that would restore the order of BW universe.

Bo1 of TBLS i see the whole time in PL.. I don't want on the spot strategies.. I want a fuckin' prepared monster-bo5 between these guys.

Think of it.. This group D is horrible for the whole MSL.

Thing is...I can't think of a single decent intra-TBLS series in all last year/this year, excluding Nate MSL finals.

Pretty sure the order of the BW universe is Flash making dual finals o_O

Audience like the idea of possibilities. It's like a lottery ticket. While TBLS rarely meet each other in BOX, the possibility of them meeting keeps the audience hooked to the league.

Eliminating the possibilities early on is a disservice to the fans.

Unless new players with creative style emerges, the fans will always want those four (plus other fan favorites such as Fantasy, FBH, Hiya, etc) to move forward.

Moreover, TBLS are players who have proven themselves to be flexible and able to utilize different strategies on different maps, creating an exciting BOX series, as opposed to standard build v.s. standard build.

On a second note, Sea has some serious problem with his luck in individual leagues.

Stork 2-0 Bisu?

zzzzzz

Jaedong 3-2 Stork?

I will admit the one game where Stork pulled a nice timing attack was nice, but two games decided by a single (unbuilt) cannon -- meh. Even the Great vs Kal series was better.

Fantasy vs Flash?

Light vs Jaedong? (well...maybe not so much, but imo the best bo5 TvZ series since Nate)

Snow vs Jaedong?

By what standard were these series worse than the standard fare of FvJ?

I thought people were generally more annoyed with the fact the MSL could have another terrible RO8 and beyond.

Being a Jaedong, Sea, and Hydra fan, I laughed my ass off and had a huge grin when I read about these shenanigans. Would be cool if we had an epic tiebreaker like the one that went on a couple of season ago (with Effort and go.go, was it?) Though I think that was OSL, so I'm not entirely sure if it would be possible in the MSL format.

Still, we'll likely get some epic games out of this group, and that's definitely better than not seeing them get paired at all. And really, think about it... sure, we all love at least one player in this group, but having them dominate everyone they play doesn't necessary lead to good games.
