One of best game ever was definitely the SeleCT v. iNcontrol g. 2 SeleCT does the same build all the time, eh? TLO's FE on Crossfire was also sick as hell. Good games! | ||

Why? I feel like you should provide more information in your post. I didn't watch all of it, but my recollection is that Tyler tries to make the point that people should be looking over a 2 year time horizon for placement in the MLG and that similar to the GSL, you won't have the top talent in the beginning. However, isn't there a *lot* more turnover in the GSL than the MLG? There's 32 individuals, 16 of which go into the up and down matches right? I also question Tyler's bias given that he is part of the seeded group, even though he was on the brink of dropping out - had he actually dropped out, I feel he would be singing a different tune. | ||

As mentioned on the SOTG yesterday they had some major scheduling errors for the players as well. To take the IdrA - Huk into IdrA - TLO as an example: After the second clash between the two of the weekend and after all the drama from the first match IdrA was rushed over to play against TLO since they were running behind and had to make up time. I don't know about you guys but if it was me playing I would have had tons of adrenaline pumping and would have been super excited after a convincing win like that and would have needed at least 15-20 minutes to reset for the next match. Another problem with Dallas as well was the group setup. iNcontroL sure is a pretty good player, but he would not have come out on top if he where in group A as an example. By winning his group he got pushed to the forefront of the tournament and then had less matches to focus on to get up there. On a sidenote - Huge grats to NaNiwa for his amazing run. | ||

And Naniwa is just awesome, unlike Idra's his acted overconfidence is just hilarious and you can see that he is a fun guy. And also a great player | ||

But did you have to really take away from the player's acheivements by talking about what you personally believe to be Protoss imbalance? I'm all for opinions, but just because in 4 tournaments there have been a good number of Protoss at the top of the standings does not prove imbalance at all. We should be focusing on the player's abilities and talents, not how their race is too strong and that's why they won - Naniwa going 23-0 into the finals shows that he was the best player in Dallas, regardless of race. He won because he was better, not because he played Protoss. :/ | ||

I'm really impressed by  NaNiwa's performance... wow, taking MLG with a 26-2 record after participating in the open bracket is just sick! Also, I'm really glad that iNcontroL did so well, not that I had doubts about his potential but with so much work outside the game... IdrA also performed really well, the only zerg in Top-8 in fact... However, it'd be nice if IdrA didn't give me heart attacks as when he left against HuK and lost in the groups phase... I know he finally defeated him in the losers bracket (extended series) but... please, don't do it again  Probably, the worst thing was TL teamkills in the losers bracket with  TLO being the only TL member in Top-8. Go TL! | ||

I really missed a statement about follow.Grubby, as many of us were interested in how he is doing (according to the TL-poll) | ||

Yea, Points are reset! The new rankings are now based on the Dallas result! If Colombus follows the same format as Dallas and all the players attend, This should be the groups. A: Dignitas.NaNiwa, FXO.mOoNan, SLush450, LiquidTyler, and FXOSheth B: KiWiKaK, EG.IdrA, GosuHuK, EG-Machine, and Sixjax_Mihai C: Dignitas.SeleCT, aTn.Socke, ROOT-drewbie, and Gret0rp D: EG.iNcontroL, Liquid.TLO, SjoW, LiquidRet, and Sixjax_ViBE | ||

Good all-around writeup but would have liked some more info about Naniwa and some information about how many games he had to play in order to come from the open bracket all the way to the finals. Nice to see another swede come out and show his strenght =) | ||
