Kind of haphazard and not very organized and very raw, but I'm tired 
Beware: Nothing here meets journalistic standards. Read at your own risk ^^;
BW Proleague Final Tidbits, taken from DES and Fomos.
Caster Predictions:
- TheMarine: "As the post season went on, I saw KT's players gradually gaining confidence. The more they played the more they were growing. I think KT will write a dramatic story and raise the victory trophy above their heads"
- Kingdom: "When making up the entry, SK Telecom can come up with a greater variety of strategies. They had more time and they controlled their condition through individual league. And when coming up with new strategies, there are no teams that are on the level of SK Telecom's coaches, so I think SK Telecom is advantageous in many ways"
- GoRush: "When I predicted just on my instinct, I was mostly correct. I think SK Telecom will win 4:0 or 4:1. The map order favors SK Telecom, and because there are maps that SK Telecom can play their strengths in early on, even a 4:0 is possible". He added "If they obtain two wins in the first five sets and get to set 6 and 7, KT has the advantage, as the map favors KT near the end"
- Jaedong: "KT Rolster's rookie Roo's play has been noticeable lately. Because both teams have many strong players, I think there'll be a lot of good games."
- Oz's Coach Han: "SK Telecom's overall strength looks better. But if Hoejja runs into a Protoss that's not Bisu, KT may be able to win"
- Tossgirl: "SK Telecom has a slightly higher chance to win"
Tidbits:
- A fan gave Jaedong an iPad 2, and then asked Jaedong if he could have a cup of tea with Jaedong. The fan then bought tea for Jaedong and Coach Han in the Sky Lounge.
- Coaches and people form the executive office, Jaedong and Tossgirl went to the Oriental Pearl and was shut in the observatory for an hour because a highly ranked government official visited and so they stopped running the elevators.
- For a snack SK Telecom picked cup ramen, while KT picked hamburgers. KT also had chocolate bars as snacks.
- When SK Telecom players were uncomfortable with the chairs at the practice rooms, SK Telecom's executives went to the nearby IKEA and bought four chairs and put them together for two hours.
Media Day:
- Flash didn't show up to the media day, as he was getting treated for his wrists.
- KT's Coach Lee: "I think god made this season so that we would experience everything possible. The only thing left is to hold up the Victory Trophy. I think he trained us like this so that he could give us the victory as the final gift. We will do our best so that we can win and write the best story of this season."
- Bisu: "I have more good memories in China because I had visited China three times and won twice. Because they were all unofficial matches so not many people remember them, but because Proleague is an official match of the grandest scale, I'll definitely win so that fans in China or Korea will eternally remember SK Telecom winning at the Grand Finals in China"
- When asked who the key player would be, SKT's coach Park picked Best without hesitation. "Everyone at the bench gets refreshed by watching Best play, because when Best is winning, he dominates while pouring out immense amount of units". He added "If Best wins in the Proleague finals in China, he is also preparing a ceremony that will flip the atmosphere around, so you should expect great things"
- When asked what the score would be when they won, SK Telecom's Coach Park answered "I think we will have a complete 4:0 victory, and it'll be a big deal if KT places Flash and Stats in the back". When hearing this, KT's Coach Lee just laughed. "If you're saying you will win 4:0, then doesn't that mean you're placing Best, Bisu, and Fantasy all in the front? Thank you for telling me about your entry and I'll plan the entry so we can snipe them". He also added "If we win 4:0, it'll be betraying the fans", and then said "We will win 4:2". He finished the psychological battle by saying "I think SK Telecom's coach Park is paranoid a bit that Flash and Stats will come out early, and I'll think about whether I should play on that paranoia or not"
- Fantasy didn't receive any attention during the media day, until he suddenly pointed out that "I'm the only player who has won every game in a Proleague Finals"
Some (Selected) Netizen Reactions to MLG... It's really way too much to go through them all.
- "As expected MLG is the best in terms of atmosphere T_T It's excited just looking at it!!! It's so fun!!!! Uh oh... will this get compared with the GSL finals today? *shiver*" "It's ZvZ. ZvZ." "Even though it's ZvZ you don't get cheers like that in Korea T_T"
- "If BoxeR wins MLG... and the emperor receives the trophy at the awards ceremony... and during the middle of the cheers, he suddenly says 'I have something to say', and suddenly gets on his knees and proposes to Jessica... It'd become the topic of conversation globally and it'd be amazing.
When are they getting married? She's getting old..."
- "If Nestea comes to MLG... will he win all his games?" "That's a possibility... but he's probably too busy with GSL so I don't think he'll go" "As unlikely as it may be, strong players lose to foreign players now and then"
- "The Protoss that is playing BoxeR really is something.... to be honest he's doesn't have the skill to play at an MLG" "He rested a lot while commentating for the NASL"
- "Seriously, DRG is the most likely to win this MLG.... all the Korean players who made it are Terran, and the fact that he's the only Zerg makes it the best opportunity ever for DRG.... Just like that, someone in the PC Bang prelims suddenly gets Code S" "As long as Korean Protosses aren't there, Terrans are just a snack"
- "I just watched the MLG game.... when BoxeR lifted his buildings and hid it, everyone is like "T____T"... but what if Rain did it? Then everyone would be like 'man he can't face him directly so he's doing that bullshit'" "If BoxeR does it, it's perseverence, if Rain does it, it's that he's just a spoiled brat"
- "Seriously, why is MLG so fun..;; The match contents are good too, but I get more entertainment out of it than GSL" "It's fun cause it feels like a festival lol" "Cause Code S is on the line?" "Because GSL Production is on an Amateur level" "Because it's all done on a short period of time, stories come out quite directly"
- "Back in Starcraft 1... we definitely were not behind MLG in terms of passion in the fans.... T_T I miss it"
- "Wow this is the first time I'm watching MLG... There's something about the foreign casters' voices that I like kekeke. Something is funny when they go "DONGRAEGU! DONGRAEUGU!" lol I think I should watch it more in the future."
- "MMA is seriously well suited for the MLG... It feels like he slumps in Korea quite a bit and then regains energy from MLG and goes back lol. What if he wins all the MLGs this year -_-;;? After he won the MLG last time, it was almost as if he was going to win the GSL and the Super Tournament and then he fell out of both -_-"
- "It feels like MLG will only invite Zerg and Toss from now on"
- "The greatest match in this MLG won't be the finals, but the upcoming match. Because MVP is already up there, it's the semifinals that decides whether or not BoxeR gets to Code S or not"
- "Didn't MMA destroy his own Command Center last MLG too?" "It's because he didn't want to give experience points to the mutalisk"
[Funny story: I told MMA if he plays Idra, he should build a Command Center in front of Idra's base and kill the CC while it was building. Sadly the match never happened T_T]
- "I'm really sorry to MVP... but I almost closed the stream after the MMA vs BoxeR match cause I thought it was the finals almost instinctively keke" "BoxeR this MLG... he was way above expectations. His play was really entertaining"
- "I'm a fan of BoxeR and I was hoping he'd just do okay in the MLG... Wow, the emotions running through right now T_T"
- "What happens if Idra goes all the way to MLG Finals and gets Code S? Will he just refuse it? Because it's Idra... i wonder what he'd do" "He threw away what he had when he left, though" "He threw it away and then Koreans suddenly swept all the foreign tournaments so he can't even make money... I bet he didn't expect that"
- "In terms of prize pool, there isn't much difference between MLG, Dreamhack and NASL, but I think in terms of entertainment, MLG is by far the best. Even though it's difficult to understand MLG's double elimination system, I think in terms of fun it's incredible" "The only bad part is that it's like death to the player who climbs all the way up from the Open Bracket T_T"
- "But seriously, watching the 19+ version of SC2 on MLG is incredible. It makes an impact when they burn to death... and so the TvT firefights are really fun to watch"
Overall netizen reactions on Boxer vs Yellow
- "Does GOMTV seriously think it's enough to just put "Lim Jin Rok" on the title? If you look at yesterday's games, that's not Lim Jin Rok, but it's just publicly humiliating Yellow. It also looks like Yellow isn't seriously considering playing Starcraft 2... Why did they plan something like this and just ruin the image of a legend?"
- "Yesterday's Lim Jin Rok... it was a really difficult game to watch if you aren't already an invested fan.... even if it's just for fun, it was really boring. If it was for fun then they should have tried to entertain using things outside of the game but things were really pathetic.... it felt like "They gathered all those people and they do this?"... I looked at the community reactions and there were a lot of backlash to the games but they were passionate just for the fact that it was a Lim Jin Rok... is this the difference between an old fan and someone who just became a fan?"
- "I wonder if they could have put in more diverse content as much as the number of people who were watching. There weren't many different units T_T... they only advertised how imba hellions are"
Okay I don't really have the heart to translate the rest of these T_T basically they seem to be worried that many people who watched SC2 for the first time will think that this is what SC2 is and be disappointed, but no one denies how popular the event was.
Random news
- On August 1, oGs announced that they will be drafting players into their team for the second time. They will be chosen either by oGs staff members observing the games directly during the Code A qualifiers, or through requesting to join online. They will be accepting applications until August 20th, and they will make their final decision by the 31st.
- Drama between TSL/SC2 Association. Hopefully someone else will translate these because I don't have the heart to translate drama related stuff anymore =(

That would've been amazing.. ^_^

Lol did not know they had IKEA in China too. Looks like we're not the only ones who love buying overpriced, ugly furniture.

Thanks for translating Milkis, interesting read on how people felt towards Yellow vs Boxer. I feel the same way it wasn't fun to watch or anything, I felt embarrassed for Yellow. :/

Seems that Fantasy statement is a bit weird, as everyone who won for KT last year is also undefeated in PL Finals. Maybe he meant undefeated on SKT?

Love the Netizen reception of MLG. That needs to go to SC2 section.

ROFL, what if Coach Park is just doing mindgames and he wanted to say "My second line can own your team any day." then KT gets prepared for BBF then gets blind-sided by a Zerg rush of s2, soO and Hyuk?

gotta say it's amazing to read about Koreans talking about "our" casters and events. I've followed bw so long and that would never happen. Step it up another notch or two mlg^^

LOL so true, i always thought this after all the koreans started showing up at foreign events. Idra thought he was going to come back from korea and win everything, but i dont think hes won a single event since he came back. (maybe something smaller?? but i dont even think so)

This actually frusterated me soo much, they should have had 2 showmatches or something , 1 of them with real korean pro's in a best of 5 , something intense.
It seemed to draw way more fans that a GSL final , and it really didnt showcase the intensity of sc2, i fear alot of ppl will think that this is what sc2 is in korea and not want to come back, it wasnt very exciting thats for sure =(
Ugh that really frusterated me it wasnt a good decision by gom to promote the GSL(and starcraft 2 in korea ) in this way, they really should have had another showmatch with 2 real progamers or something, or made sure yellow was willing to put in some time to practice when they asked him to do it. There is no way he played for momre than 20(if even that) or so hours over a month if hes still in gold league.

Thanks for the great writeup! I'd be happy to watch you stream this stuff again.

tossgirl's tits are making me droooool. great read milkis!! boss!

Thanks for this article/thread. Really great to hear korean netizens talk about MLG
The SKT KT rivalry is also cute

Milkis proves once again why he is TL's top Korean info smuggler.

Something is funny when they go "DONGRAEGU! DONGRAEUGU!
Kinda funny because that's exactly what's funny about Korean casters

True. He could travel to China instead, and get denied by a typhoon.

Yes. He's done well but probably not as well as he might have hoped, and hasn't won any of the large purses (NASL, Dreamhack, etc). Though he's looking good in IPL2 which has a pretty hefty prize.
It's great that the passion of NA fans is being recognized. Maybe the worst players of the big 3 servers, but certainly the best fans :D

IPL season 1 was like the REAL North American (star)league. He still faced formidable opponents, but no Koreans aside from SeleCT (who doesn't train Korean style).

Yeah but at the price of not getting Korean-level practice. Remember the good old days when Huk would 1 base 5 gate and would get crushed because IdrA was just so much better? Yeah they are no longer. People will start catching up. The reason IdrA was so good was because of his Korean practice. Now he practices less and it's with Incontrol. His decline is kinda inevitable, but I hope he does well. Prove me wrong Grack <3
There are really two ways this can go in the end. Korea out does the foreign scene and comes to all the tournaments and just takes everything, and it demotivates the players and we start exponentially losing out until SC2 becomes BW2.
Or, Korea out does the foreign scene and comes to all the tournaments and just takes everything, and it motivates the players to practice harder and maybe even move out to Korea. On their way back, maybe become able to build the necessary infrastructure to sustain a competitive environment that can at the very least compete with Korea.
SC2 is huge. It is much bigger than BW ever was. Before someone tells me it was a national sport in Korea, SC2 has become an online pastime in every other country. As awesome as Korea is, the future of SC2 is going to be global. If SC2 has to depend on Korea for survival, then we might as well call it dead now. But by this same token, no one wants to see poor play, and the game won't survive if the skill level does not noticeably increase over time (the rate of improvement in Korea is fine). So we need a Korea-like atmosphere anyway.
|
Thanks for the translations. It's always good to hear what the Koreans are thinking. Seems like they're liking MLG more and more, and with good reason, it's friggin awesome  Also never realized they used the parental control settings on the GSL version for SC2...interesting little tidbit.
|
I cannot agree more about Lim Jin Rok. i think gomtv made a huge mistake it ruined the rivalry, i thought they might go play BW after Sc2 to see YellOw own Boxer after he owned him in Sc2. but it was just 3 bad games and thats it. was so dissapointing
Thanks alot Milkis, i love hearing what the koreans think. you are a legend :D

Thanks for the translations Milkis. The Korean Netizens basically post exactly the same things as the TL netizens, although I guess there was probably more foreign player bashing and you didn't bother translating that.

Yeah, it was really odd that they had such a large venue and so many people to watch a Grandmaster level Terran just toy with a Gold level Zerg in a bo3 series...and then that's all? Really? No concert or actual competitive SC2 showmatch like MVP vs. Nestea or something of the sort. I really don't get GomTV's promotional department's decision on this one. It was the perfect time to really showcase to the non-SC2 fans just how awesome games could be by having additional high-level showmatches.

Man speaks the truth.
- When asked who the key player would be, SKT's coach Park picked Best without hesitation. "Everyone at the bench gets refreshed by watching Best play, because when Best is winning, he dominates while pouring out immense amount of units". He added "If Best wins in the Proleague finals in China, he is also preparing a ceremony that will flip the atmosphere around, so you should expect great things"
I want KT to win because they have more fun players, but I also want to see Best WRECK Flash with his trademark zeal/goon/arb 50 gateway bulldozer army...such a great sight to see. Both of these happening in the same finals would make my day.
- Fantasy didn't receive any attention during the media day, until he suddenly pointed out that "I'm the only player who has won every game in a Proleague Finals"
lmao poor fanta.

.... Wait a moment, you are in Korea. If you miss the passion of Broodwar, just go to Broodwar events! >_> He cant travel in time two years to the past. He doesn't need to travel 2 years in past. True. He could travel to China instead, and get denied by a typhoon.
Then fly back to korea, and wait maximum 2 weeks. For some epic finals? Yes.

- "Seriously, why is MLG so fun..;; The match contents are good too, but I get more entertainment out of it than GSL" "It's fun cause it feels like a festival lol" "Cause Code S is on the line?" "Because GSL Production is on an Amateur level" "Because it's all done on a short period of time, stories come out quite directly"
Wow, never thought I'd hear people calling GSL amateur compared to MLG a few months ago. Such impressive turn-around.

Gom should host some Weekend league since its pretty much open... Yeah but SC1 crowds were as good as MLG it seems.

Glad I'm not the only one that gets annoyed by boxer's gg timing....
Thanks for translation Milkis.
|
Wow. I am glad to hear that foreign esports excitement is catching up to korean excitement
|
I'm actually quite glad that the grand finals where postponed, After that statement from the coach it seems Best is in monster form. ^^ I was no1 Best fan when he played at his prime, haven't followed BW that much since then, but now I cant wait until the finals

"The Protoss that is playing BoxeR really is something.... to be honest he's doesn't have the skill to play at an MLG" "He rested a lot while commentating for the NASL"
Poor Incontrol
We still love you!
The guy obviously didnt see you nearly beat Losira @ Columbus. Im so glad i got to shake your hand after that series.

- When SK Telecom players were uncomfortable with the chairs at the practice rooms, SK Telecom's executives went to the nearby IKEA and bought four chairs and put them together for two hours.
HAHAHAHA. xD
Ikea owns everyone!

- Drama between TSL/SC2 Association. Hopefully someone else will translate these because I don't have the heart to translate drama related stuff anymore =(

no, sc1 crowds were actually even more numerous and excitable

In terms of prize pool, there isn't much difference between MLG, Dreamhack and NASL
nope.

ThAnks for the read.

Best part lol.

- But seriously, watching the 19+ version of SC2 on MLG is incredible. It makes an impact when they burn to death... and so the TvT firefights are really fun to watch
This is what I keep telling GSL. Recently they've had gore on and off, I hope they'll keep it on in the future.

Thanks for the translation Mikis!

Ouchhhh. What's up with everybody bashing on iNcontrol!
"If BoxeR wins MLG... and the emperor receives the trophy at the awards ceremony... and during the middle of the cheers, he suddenly says 'I have something to say', and suddenly gets on his knees and proposes to Jessica... It'd become the topic of conversation globally and it'd be amazing.
When are they getting married? She's getting old..."
I would love to see BoxeR proposing to Jessica in booth!

Yeah, it was really odd that they had such a large venue and so many people to watch a Grandmaster level Terran just toy with a Gold level Zerg in a bo3 series...and then that's all? Really? No concert or actual competitive SC2 showmatch like MVP vs Nestea or something of the sort. I really don't get GomTV's promotional department's decision on this one. It was the perfect time to really showcase to the non-SC2 fans just how awesome games could be by having additional high-level showmatches.
It's more than just a "Grandmaster terran" vs "Gold level zerg" "a perfect time to showcase to the SC2 fans just how awesome games could be".
It's fucking BoxeR vs YellOw.
The Emperor has knocked the Storm Zerg out of how many OSLs now?

I love to read that stuff, thank you very much milkis, great job as always!

I bet he didn't expect that"
LOL so true, i always thought this after all the koreans started showing up at foreign events. Idra thought he was going to come back from korea and win everything, but i dont think hes won a single event since he came back. (maybe something smaller?? but i dont even think so) Didn't he win IPL?
Ah you are correct sir, i always forget about IPL, still that was only a few thousand dollars and it was an invitational with very very sub par players (aside fromm maybe kiwi and select who have both been doing terrible recently anyways)
And im sure when he decided to come back he had bigger plans then winning 2000(or was it 3?) dollars in a start up invitational (IPL is much better now)

You mean when losira keyboard wasnt working and he was only playing with his mouse (i beleive milkis confirmed this) and then losira still won anyways? lol

Wow, Milkis, you're a boss. Thanks again for the translations/news. I'm a noob so forgive me if everyone knows already, but I have to ask--do you also post tidbits from TL from us foreigners on Korean sites, so they have an idea of what we're saying about GSL and stuff? =D
Three cheers for cross-cultural interaction! I love Starcraft for bringing us together. =)

"Didn't MMA destroy his own Command Center last MLG too?" "It's because he didn't want to give experience points to the mutalisk"
It all makes so much sense now -_-

SKT bought chairs. ballers!

I absolutely love these translations. Especially the netizen reactions to foreigner tournaments. Thanks and keep em coming ;p

I have a question about Boxer vs Yellow~~ ok so the Korean netizens were upset about the showmatch, but didn't Yellow agree to do the showmatch himself? It's not like he was forced to it right? Even if they didn't force him, it'd be hard for him to refuse not to do the showmatch since he's so dedicated to his fans. I just want confirmation on this, thanks!
