http://www.shanghaidaily.com/nsp/Metro/2011/08/05/City+issues+typhoon+alert+as+menace+of+Muifa+looms/

The article states that the storm will hit land tomorrow night and winds of 133 kilometers per hour will be in the coastal area ( assume its on the beach, but its not much better downtown).

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.

THIS is exactly the thing I don't like. I'm not a KT fan (MBC logo in the sig) and why would it matter if I was? 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.

No, it's the influence of the Storm Zerg's coming that has made this happen.

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.

0/5, too much SKT

forgive the writer bias though, I'd find a way to shove JD in this post if I were writing it ^^;

Yeah the typhoon is pretty scary, I wouldn't be surprised if the finals get delayed. Just so long as everyone stays safe :/

After thinking this over, there is no way the finals will happen tomorrow. with approx 5k people in the outdoor, with winds of 133 km/u, the risk is far too great. The risk is too great for any injury to happen.

A lot of SKT fans in the staff so it was to be expected haha, I cracked up after seeing Riptides piece and all the nice graphics before it only to see TTT and the terrible graphics he received haha.
Well done guys
I'm not going to nitpick on these articles, it was a lot of work and I appreciate it.

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.

(T)Flash:
All: 420-164 (71.92%)
vT: 155-52 (74.88%)
vZ: 141-59 (70.50%)
vP: 124-53 (70.06%)

(P)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.

Game of Thrones + BW SPL Finals = so much win. Loved the intro, had a huge smile on my face as I was reading it.

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).

Oh my god... I was laughing too much throughout all that. There was, dare I say, TOO MUCH Bisu love, and hilarious amounts of great fanboyism throughout that.

Hmm... I felt that the SKT1 fanboyism completely destroyed the KT fanboyism here.

KT FANBOYS WE GOTTA STEP IT UP A NOTCH

If the finals get delayed I'm going to be a sad panda.

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
