I lost all respect i had for stork after he threw his games 3 times in a row, just to avoid hwasin and therefore make an all korean final. It was painfully obvious after watching the vods of him vs white-ra that he was playing the brackets to suit him (WHO 14nexuses on PA?? or does 1gate with no tech on peaks???), which was totally unfair to ex, seeing as he beat white-ra 3-1 in total, he should have been the one coming out on top in the brackets imo if stork didnt choose to be gay and cheap. Many good players were unfortunately eliminated early, and it doesn't help if some korean decides he wants to rig the brackets some more.
In any case, I admit that storks micro is fearsome, i donno if Pj can pull this off but i hope he can cuz i wanna see stork denied the crown, he doesnt deserve it w/e his sc skills may be.
I didn't watch the stork vs ra games, and I think it's a SUPER SHITTY thing to do (3 fucking times, ok you tried it once - now stop fucking around). But!
1 gate exp on peaks is awesome.
I dunno if that's what stork did but whatever

People need to chill out and not get too worked up and blame Stork when they should be blaming WCG for having that type of tourney format. Stork did nothing wrong, in fact, he was encouraged to because in Korean custom it's better to put your country first and yourself second. People who say "oh I lost all respect for Stork" or "Stork is gay" because of this is are just too narrowminded to accept the fact that Korean culture, or any other culture for that matter, is different from yours.
narrowminded lol. It's about nothing else than pride here. Korean culture won't implode just because they did not make it #1, #2 and #3.
And don't give me that patriot bullshit when we talk about a scene that's basicaly divided into korean progamers and foreign amateurs. Nomatter what happens tonight, korea will remain it's place as the country with the strongest starcraft players.
Let's be honest about this, koreans are just too used to be superior on international level and get greedy. Culture my ass.

EDIT: All the Koreans deserve to be bashed for not practicing the maps more and being too arrogant. Even if the Starleagues are their main focus, 15 grand is still on the line and they shouldn't have expected to walk into the finals just based on their korean-ness. You use your first post to bash all the Koreans? Good start. Arrogant? How so, explain? Why can't they expect to walk into the finals like they have been for the past 7 years? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, because if the Koreans didn't practice the maps, then foreigners should have an advantage in one aspect. But the Koreans don't deserved to be bashed for a flawed system that WCG implemented. How much explanation is really needed? The Koreans don't know the maps very well because they believed they didn't need much practice to place top 3, and now only 1 of them if left. If that's not arrogance, then I'm not sure what is.
As much as you want to criticize WCG because the best 2 players aren't in the finals, that's how the system works. That's how pretty much EVERY organized sports system in the world works. When you come up with a better way, please let the NBA, NFL, MLB, FIFA, etc. know. If you're that intent on seeing Korean vs. Korean SC, the MSL is still going on. Otherwise, some of us enjoy seeing the upsets that WCG's HORRIBLY FLAWED WORST SYSTEM EVER produces.

Why do Stork Hwasin Savior gotta practice?
ForU is a modern WCG Winner.

actually i think its more like the korea wcg organisation's fault for using leauge maps for wcg qualifer in korea. Had they used the wcg maps then we'd see the players who are better in wcg maps instead of proleague maps and the chances of them placing top 3 would be a lot higher
mind you that foru silent control xellos oov july and midas were all good in wcg maps because they used to have it for their wcg finals except for this year. thats why you see savior's shitty performance like he hadn't played the map before at all

B4 final , I think everything is possible in PvP

Makes sense to me.

Does the stream link in the OP work for you guys (the English one) ?
EDIT: My mistake. Remembered that game started 20 CET but apparently it's 21 CET. Guess the stream will be up when the games start?

What makes you think they wanted to not practice for WCG? You assume they are arrogant because they are busy and told to practice for Proleague and such in Korea? Just because they didn't get much practice on the maps does not make them arrogant.
I never said the WCG was bad, so stop assuming stupid things that you like to do. I simply said that their SC tourney system was flawed because of the need to basically give up matches in order to get the ideal results. And yet, people are getting all mad because Korea wants to simply do the best for their country.
How does upsets have anything to do with this so why bring it up? Upsets will happen regardless of the format, it's just that in this one, some of the "upsets" are tossed, like I said earlier, to get better results further on. I don't mind seeing upsets and seeing PJ up there, the guy is awesome, so stop trying to somehow shift a half-assed opinionated first post to antagonize me.

You care way too much about my post count. The maps have been established for a while. If they were taking it seriously, they'd be ready for them.

|

Yo, could someone post the links to all the 3 streams?
It seems one of the streams will have CS coming up now, one of them will have C&C3 and one of them Fifa?
Soooooooo, links to each one?
