EPTive seen MVP vs Adel and Genius vs qxc so far, and MVP played as if he did not prepare at all. and i hate to say it, but i felt the lag was a deciding factor in Adel's win.
qxc completely outplayed Genius though, I am now a fan of John Lennon

To some extend, jesus. I accept some hype, but when it turns the entire game into a huge story about foreigners finally equalling the koreans, it needs to be toned down. | ||

(as well as people like OP) It's not just watched by people in NA/EU. aside from the obvious answer that there is also a korean stream, i didnt see the casting as "biased." they were obviously foreigner fanboys, but its not like they focused specifically on the foreigners' good points and ignored the koreans' good points. the foreigners played well, the casters talked about that, the casters were excited, the games were exciting. | ||

I thought you said you admired Chill for telling it like it is. Frankly, it is a big deal. I have not mentioned anything about completly ignoring the fact that there is a story behind the two scenes, have I? Tonight though, it made the casting from Chills side, abit unproffesional. | ||

In the end the Korean players are still better than who they lost to, except genius because i don't know much about him, as was evident in MVP's micro almost winning when he was clearly disadvantaged. So while foreigners are getting better that is not the primary reason MVP and Nestea lost. | ||

I don't know how bad the lag was for the koreans, but ignoring that, I'd feel it was a bit silly if the commentators would be making excuses for the koreans for loosing. "ohh goody did play ok, though clearly he's the worse player because you can see nestea lagging there", I mean it'd be silly to say, even if true. | ||

"Top 10 reasons why SOTG will destroy SC2 and TL.net" etc etc All these topics seem to me to be trying to create drama out of thin air, is it sophisticated trolling or just people nitpicking at everything? i couldnt agree more. it seems people are not thinking before making a thread and just making pointless drama. | ||

Though I do understand where Chill is coming from. The koreans have been owning us in Broodwar, so it's heartwarming how foreigners showing results in starcraft 2. On the other hand, I thought Husky was very professional. He's been doing a great job! | ||

Was it me or Chill, that made pointless drama tonight? This is an issue that I think needs to be adressed. One liners like your reply doesn`t add up to anything in this thread. Why accusing someone of trolling, when just stating their opinions? Keep it focused on the topic and not on what you think I am trying to do. | ||

Just imagine the first time that Japan did not win the gold medal in judo. It was a really big deal and pretty much the closing of the skill gap was the main topic that followed the poor winner the next months. | ||
