The MSL format it self assures that the semis and finals will be played by either an up and coming talent or the old super star players . I don't know if i like it better then the OSL were in the round of 8 the luck of the bracket decides pretty much everything . I mean Movie probably would not have been in the finals have he faced Flash , Jaedong , Stork .... But that way the league it self is more intense , unpredictable and i'm also a strong believer that luck is part of one's skill so i support the OSL more . I do dislike people who bash on players who got lucky and won a league . In a tournament as strong as OSL/MSL it shouldn't really matter who you beat if you win it .

Do people not remember the changes they made to get to this point? The stupid quirks like Bo5's split into two days, or re-seeding in the middle of the playoff stage? Honestly I'd take it all in stride if they didn't act like this is the end of their "master plan" by pulling stupid stunts like this. We all knew MBC execs wanted to see this. We're not stupid. But let us keep that in the back of our minds. Just don't smear it in our faces by forcing us to watch this poor excuse for "hype." Ignorance is bliss.

Any time the organization behind a competition shows some sort of favoritism they should be scolded. They are supposed to play the part of the neutral host, even if one outcome is obviously more beneficial towards them in the end.

Maybe we got to see Flash but Kal and JD still continued playing SC. It would require some programming to alter SC so that it could show transparent pictures over the gameplay.

It was a nice way of building up hype. The game was pretty much over and Kal was just being hard headed.

Wrestling is a joke because it's scripted. The hype aspect of wrestling is important to get viewers and pretty standard. They can emulate the good bits of wrestling without it becoming a joke. As long as the games aren't fixed I'm happy.

Agreed. And moreso because it's rude to Kal, too. When we saw that while casting we were basically like "oh wow, that's kindof BM."

because the UFC/boxing doesn't do showdowns or have fighters lie about hating each other to hype fights

Dude, It's Just A Game.™

Koreans treat SC as a sport, along with soccer, baseball etc. Imo that pop-up was unnecessary, considering that Kal was still in the game, as people have already mentioned.


To me, it's along the same lines of what you see in the playoffs in baseball - if a team is looking to close out a series, once the final game is fairly well decided, they'll start talking as though the winning team has already won. They look stupid if the opposing team rallies and takes the game/series, but I think it was intended as more of a gesture along those lines.

True, but the commentators never actually impede with your own viewing of the game that is being played at that moment. They don't overlay some cheesy image that makes it difficult to tell if that last pitch was a ball or a strike. Anything that detracts with the enjoyment of what is currently going on in the game is going too far.


Yeah, I can agree with that. It didn't bother me too much, but as far as intrusion it's definitely more than they should be doing. I really think it's more of a botched concept than a 'bad idea', though. Shoulda gone with something less intrusive if they felt they had to push it.

the "I'll see you in the finals" part really makes it less cool, just the picture would have been much better
