To all the anti-fanboy posters:
Watching these games (or any form of competition for that matter) wouldn't even be half the fun if you didn't care about the players. Hyping a player makes it much more fun to see that player win or lose (depending on whether you love or hate him ^^).
The line between fun and annoying is for me drawn between comments stating how fun it would be for some player to advance and comments stating how much some player deserves to win because "he is better". Those last type of comments are annoying because they state a fact that cannot be tested, especially when they are contradicted by the games. Example: "Nada is better than ChalRenge, he just got unlucky / sucked today / carriers are imba / this map sucks / I hate cheese / etc. etc." Instead try something like this: "I believe Nada! Next game you will get your revenge!".
EXACTLY.

Loki is pretty good for carriers, and pretty bad as terran to play vs them.

And with no doubt NaDa _IS_ the better player. Do you want to doubt that?

Hot_Bid, it was ok, till you edited his qoute and attacked each other. But it was Naruto who started that, afterall... oh god, Ima probably just frustrated that July could lose, after his perfect early game
thx, yakee. Downloading second game ;p

To those that did not want to read past 45 pages of game updates to know which games are interesting, I recommend very much, the first 3 games especially game 1 (chalrenge vs nada) and game 3 (chalrenge vs july) although game 3 was kinda draggy.

Great reports, pics, vods and everything, even if a few sound like Nada has beaten their favourite players too much... He'll get mr ceremony too, don't worry.
I wanted everyone in this group through though :p

That's the difference between fan and fanboy: a fan believes in the player and sticks by him, whereas a fanboy tries to elevate his favorite by belittling his opponent. I've been more confrontational about this aspect since I started posting, and I appreciate your post for the general perspective 
And then there are fan bitches (not to be confused with fans who are girls), or guys/girls who have their legs in the air for their players, who they constantly homage for reasons that are irrelevant to the game, like appearance. I'm not gonna name names, you know who you are.

That's true.
Problem is that the scene is very dynamic, there are always new players emerging who are able to take out ANY old star or players' favorite. And there's often one player who is usually capable of taking out another player easily although that player is considered far better.
It's just too difficult to determine who really is better and who should win this.
I've often read the predictions here on TL.net for some matches and often agreed with them, yet the games often turn out completely different.
I for one am no longer underestimating lesser known progamers, because it seems that *anything* can happen.
Nal_Ra also stated this indirectly in an interview by saying that many newcomers are very strong.
The best thing would be to like all players equally and just hope for GOOD (long, close, action-filled) games, regardless of the result.

Those were nice games. Oh, and after reading some of G.s)NarutO's comments, I only have one thing to say: you are the most annoying piece of shit I've encountered in this site. The reasons for my hate should be obvious to anyone who takes the time to read a couple of his posts. Anyway, GG's!
