well maybe some new TvT style will come out this tourney.
one can hope right :D


I think MVP deliberately tried to get an all terran group so he could send a terran to the up/downs


Clearly it's a Terran conspiracy to eject as many lower tier Terrans from Code S as possible, in order to not appear so imba.



Blood and Metal

Act I



Scene I


      A dark room. 6 hooded figures gathered around a card table in folding chairs. GSL poster on the wall. The camera pans past each of their faces, the recognizable faces of the best Terran players in the world from each team. Polt the unaffiliated agent sits silently. A pitcher sits at the center of the table, filled with a golden liquid.

MVP
      So I think we can all agree...

NaDa
      Yes. What about Noblesse?

      Keen looks around nervously. Gulping, he speaks up.

Keen
      Does he really have to go? It's just that our team-

Ryung, cutting him off
      Yes. I'll pick MKP, and he will no doubt pick Puzzle, since Polt will have taken Sangho already.

MVP
      And with my having picked Ensnare, his only option will be to pick Clide... Which brings us back to Noblesse. Clide will almost certainly pick Noblesse since he is the group stage Champion.

Keen
      Is this really worth it? He is my teammate and-

      Stirring, Polt slams his Pepsi down. He grunts angrily.

Polt
      It has always been worth it, you insipid FOOL! Look at who we are, WHAT we are! Our race is clearly imbalanced, and it is we the FORERUNNERS who must maintain our imbalanced status. Do you think Blizzard has no ears in this tournament? That they hear not the lamentations of MC, Alicia, and JYP!?

      Polt punches the table, almost knocking over his beverage, his face contorted with anger.

      How do you think I held down the Protoss for so long!? No, no..

      Polt calms himself.

      Listen. The 5 second rax nerf is just the beginning. You gentlemen remember the reaper, the 11 food banshee rush, the eternal glory of the bunker rush, and maps like Steppes. All gone because of our hubris.

      They nod. Keen looks uncomfortable.

Ryung
      I need not tell you of what we have at risk here.

      Each Terran player is now self-consciously looking around. Their gazes converge at the crystal pitcher in front of them. Finally, Keen nods assent. His eyes are downcast. Polt pulls a small bell out from his jacket, and taps it once with a pen.

Polt
      I'm officially calling this meeting of the Terran Supreme Council to order. The Secretary has the floor.

Nada
      Thank you, Mr. President. Only three items on the agenda today. Number One, finalization of group picking coordination for the elimination of unworthy Terrans. Number Two, council vote on the induction of Jjakji as a council-member. Number Three...

      The Legendary BW player smiles, a cruel and sadistic smile.

      ...distribution of the pieces of Zerg and Protoss players' souls that we gathered in the last GSL.

      Fade to black.


+ Show Spoiler +

THIS SCRIPT IS MEANT FOR PARODY PURPOSES ONLY. THESE PLAYERS ARE ALL MY HEROES AND CERTAINLY DID NOT COORDINATE THE GROUP SELECTIONS TOGETHER, NOR IS THERE ACTUALLY A CONSPIRACY, NOR DO THEY CONSUME THE SOULS OF PROTOSS AND ZERG PLAYERS BIT BY BIT.

Hmmm, an All-in King Reference, a Metallica Reference, and it also has a nice title.

5/5 I guess.

But what in God's Name is a "Hubris"?

Hubris is extreme arrogance.

It's a term taken from ancient Greek literature used to describe when a character would fall from grace due to his own arrogance or lack of humility.

Thanks for all the support, guys! I had a lot of fun writing this, and I think I have a little bit of a knack for it. The real question is, do you want more?

Definitely, but I think you should format the scenes a bit better. Bolder names and such, y'know? Make it look nicer.
