Also: "We are facing a big challenge from the typhoon," said Shen Jun, vice mayor of Shanghai. "Everyone should take precautions." Shen asked all organizations to guard against the typhoon, evacuate people from the coast area, and fasten billboards and neon lights. I'm very disappointed in the weather gods. | ||

I'm only stating that I don't like this kind of previews. I really hope you don't think that I didn't like it because I am a KT fan and the fan-approach of the article wasn't my cup of tea. But I suppose that excerpt is just a joke. Anyway, I just feel guilty after expressing a negative opinion, I love TL and the work that people like you put in it, it is just that I don't like these kind of things and since I try to thank streamers, people that LR and such, I just thought it would be appropiate to express what I don't like. I know that how you feel is that of a guy who doesn't have a stake in it and also feels bad that such an excellent work by the BW writing and gfx team (CSheep, Kiante, HP, Riptide and the contributors) had to have such fanboyism when you expect an unbiased sense of journalistic integrity in these articles. I frankly have to disagree. This fanboyism is what drives each and every ONE of the contributors to make it for the community. It is more than just fanboyism for KT, SKT or any other team for that matter. It is a dedication towards the Brood War community, and eSports in general, that makes all of this writing possible.

I very much appreciate your feedback, I totally get that it's hard to be critical when others are mostly positive. Yes, the line you quoted was a joke. I don't actually think you were angry because you are a KT fan. I noted the MBC logo in your signature (I was rocking one too before tonight in a show of support for the MBCGame rumour). It was an example of a non-serious biased viewpoint. I'm sorry that it detracts from your readership, and we'll definitely be mindful about the amount of bias we inject in the future (trust me, we've gotten flak for it from others (read: TwoTone), you're not entirely alone here). Do note, however, that the finals is a time when team biases tend run wild. It comes with the excitement and hype. I'd suggest taking it a lot less seriously; we do. | ||

Ah Bisu. The Greatest player of Broodwar the world has ever known, and yet so unappreciated. His majesty in all matchups is unsurpassed This made me laugh and throw up at the same time. But now I'm back to laughing.  Flash: All: 420-164 (71.92%) vT: 155-52 (74.88%) vZ: 141-59 (70.50%) vP: 124-53 (70.06%)  Bisu:All: 350-181 (65.91%) vT: 120-72 (62.50%) vZ: 128-52 (71.11%) vP: 102-57 (64.15%) Call me when Bisu wins 3 OSL's, in a span of time where Flash wins no more titles. | ||

The typhoon heading for Shanghai has the most awful timing ever. So many days in the rainy season, and it had to pick the SPL Final weekend. It's really strong, too- it didn't even hit the Philippines directly but the monsoon rains it pulled were enough for classes and work to be canceled a few times last week. Weird though, the initial forecasts were for it to hit Japan after the Philippines. Anyway, I hope the organizers won't be afraid to postpone it if they see fit- the safety and comfort of the players and the audience is what's important (even if I might not be able to watch if they postpone it to next week noooooooo). | ||

And don't worry KT fans.. there was a semi SKT bias in last year's preview/coverage. Look what happened then? KT have been looked at as the underdogs this whole post season. Time to go back to back  | ||
