I like all the casters more or less (I'm not picky), but ODPixel is pretty awesome, shame he's been on the newbie stream so much instead of on the main stage more.

I'm pretty sure West vs East is a moot framework when we have tens of international tournaments per season, as opposed to 0-1 or 1-2 (once TIs started happening). At this point, the most reasonable thing is just to follow particular teams and see how they do, be it against their countrymen or foreigners.

lost the glasses, better hair and some exercise = instant +2-3 on attractive scale (at least for men)

for women there is the magic of make up.

He also has make-up when he's on the stage.


I meant women rely on make up more often. Men see women with make up most of the time so our default impression of a woman is her with make up. So hence why we tend to instantly notice if a woman doesn't have make up because she looks relatively worst than when she normally does.

For men, our default is no make up. So even with make up it's hardly noticeable (unless you go full drag queen style or w/e)

Damn, they've been so on point with getting games started quickly these past few days I completely forgot about the long wait before the first game.

This tournament has run unbelievably smoothly since day 3.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

International tournaments help teams practice against each other and in doing so get used to each other's strategies, but in no way do they change the basic differences in culture and infrastructure. Otherwise, Koreans would not be ahead in SC 2, which had lots of international tournaments - practically all of them won by Koreans.

And the Day 2 problems are sort of out of their control. I mean ideally they'd have stopped the attack and been better prepared for it, but at least it was something inflicted on them rather than self caused.

What's so retarded about the West being ahead this year?

It's funny, because 90% of the people in the previous threads, before the tournament, agreed that the West was ahead this year. I guess all of you are also retarded.

Not even results can stop Azarkon. Pretty sure if EG loses, he will block the results of ti5

Not everything should be West vs East. Why not enjoy both side of the field.


Who says I don't enjoy the games even when the West lose? I simply believe that the West is ahead. It's that simple.


The only time when you DID praise a chinese was ehome and vg with fy on rubick. It's really hard to believe, though.

I get it that you do enjoy the west side more than the chinese. But i do think people would appreciate if you word it out a little better.

No hate bro, I get that everyone is different.

Say, what actually did happen and how azarkon became azarkon that he is today?



ESWC 2010 was when EHOME showed up and Western teams were talking mad shit about how they were going to smash the Chinese teams with Slardar/mass blink strats.


Then EHOME showed up and rolled them with things like 7 minute daggers on Lion (MMY or X! at the time basically rolled over every mid player with his eyes closed),defensive farming tri-lanes (which no one had ever executed at that level; there were tri-lanes but they were aggressive all-in push lanes), and overall just superior mechanical/strategic play that whole tournament. EHOME was like literally universes apart from the EU/NA scene at the time. Essentially, you had pros playing against a bunch of amateurs. It was quite funny how bad the stomping was actually, only TEG managed to put up a good fight.

And somehow that alone caused 5 years of salt?
