Slush took 9th beating other great players.. Mihai made it out of the open bracket beating DDe and others. Call me bad all you want but shut your mouth before You disrespect all the fine Players I faced. I thought you beat some excellent players, so I don't know why people are griping about it. But if it wasn't for extended series, you would have lost to TLO 2-0 when you met him for the second time. Out of all the players, MLG's horrendous format and rules probably benefited you the most. | ||

If the groups were ANYTHING like ANY other tourney EVER TLO would have been eliminated before getting to that stage and never would have beat me. No tourney does "group play seedings into final bracket" but HEY we don't bitch about that cause inc took first in his group. | ||

Don't usually agree with you (in things like making fun of other players and stuff)... but this time you are damn right... The traditional formats wouldn't even let TLO get to that point and overall you did great even if the format is this or that way -ANY player could've been favored or disfavored, the merit goes to the one who does things right-. People just need to stop being biased ALL the time with blind fanatism. Not that much of a fan Inc, but really, good job, and if needed keep shutting down people who thinks their "heros" must always win or top. Honestly, good job... | ||

3. Protoss, Protoss everywhere In three out of four MLGs up until now, the final four has been three Protoss and one of another race. Cries of imbalance and broken mechanics echo throughout the weekend, and such strong sentiments will no doubt reach the desks of David Kim. Perhaps this is a prelude to a period of anxiety, as both camps sit impatiently to see what's going to happen to our warriors of Aiur. The period after a big tournament will be a true test to whether Blizzard can reaffirm their loyal fans on their direction of game balance. Awesome recap. I feel like you could've avoided the subtle balance whining, but I guess none's perfect. As someone else said, leave the balance to blizzard, and focus on how great the players are. Trying to take away the win from Nani and Kiwi is pretty low imo. | ||

Well in my eyes, my opinion and my observations you and TLO are sort of similar, you both got alot of potential, but you have yet to do something that solidify you as a major threat in the big leagues as of late. This MLG didnt prove neither to me, nor did it make me think NaNiwa is unbeatable or that toss is OP! :D, point is, I hope you keep improving and show me what you realyl can do. But untill you do, I cant agree with some people placing you as a top 10 player in the US. I would love to be proven wrong tho, you seem like a hardworking guy and you deserve some major wins. | ||

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. At most 8 new players can upgrade from Code A to Code S in one season, if they win their up&down matches. It's actually pretty close to the same amount of turnover as MLG. In MLG, the top 16 points players are seeded into the pool stuff - "Guaranteed top 24/top 32 finish" doesn't mean much when you need better than that to have security. Edit2: Guaranteed top 24 finish is kinda representative of "you can only drop out of the top players at this speed" - If you fail to perform at 1 MLG, ok. You still have some points. If you fail to perform at 2... your position is looking really poor indeed... more than that, hope you like running the open gauntlet. Not too dissimilar to what happened to MVP in code S - he failed to perform not once but twice and winds up in Code A. | ||

1) Crap organization (yeah, I am one of those idiots in Europe whe havent slept for nights to see games with my HQ ticket... I saw "We will be comming online soon" for 90% of that time) 2) Stupid system of matching players 3) Imbalance everywhere. Im am not whining, but do your statistics and maths revision and go over the results from last major tournaments. Point 3 reinforces my belief that the game is no longer enjoyable to play if you are a zerg; and it is not enjoyable to watch if you have a sense of decency. Lack of innovation, matches looking exactly one like another simply because "skill" has ben reduced to "build orders" and "hard/soft counters". This is just my opinion, don´t feel free to insult me or other likeminded people because of it. However, if you remain polite, I am looking forward to see your answer. | ||
