Nifty update I was able to catch the replay on the stream of the final 8 but I was curious about all the rest as their stream was broken over the weekend when I actually had time to watch.
Appreciate it Lovedrop!

Finally, some Dignitas recognition. So sick of the EG this and EG that.
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!

Sick to see a leftie (like me) dominate. Go Nani. Although Im not gonna jump on the bandwagon like alot of others. He caught fire sure, but I want to see him make another deep run before I become a big fan and start saying hes invincible.

"Consistency is the Key"

Such a bullshit idea. The top 16 players were guaranteed a top finish even if they lost every single game. It's impossible for them not to be consistent really since they walked into the top 20 on Friday when they arrived. If all those players had to venture through the open bracket I'd bet a handful of em wouldn't have made it. Not trying to take anything away from them, but that's the nature of the game.

We can all agree that huk is consistent if nothing else.


Watch the latest episode of SOTG.


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.

I'd have liked to read more about Naniwa, his run up til the finals was phenomenal, unheard of. His overall record was astounding. Never seen anyone take a big tournament like this in such convincing fashion.

To me the whole event was ruined by the terrible network / broadcasting situation.

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.

Thank you sir, now I finally get the system :D

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

Great writeup, love how you put a spotlight on iNcontrol - he needs one.

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.

:/

Nice write-up!

I'm really impressed by (P)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 (P)iNcontroL did so well, not that I had doubts about his potential but with so much work outside the game...

(Z)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 (P)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 (T)TLO being the only TL member in Top-8. Go TL!

B: KiWiKaK, EG.IdrA, GosuHuK, EG-Machine, and Sixjax_Mihai

Some pictures, but only one of Naniwa.

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 =)
