WaxAngel that's uncalled for. Firstly, Destiny was clearly on tilt after losing that 3rd game to grubby (you know, the one where he was miles ahead and then was harassed to death in a grueling 25+ minute game?). Secondly, iNcontroL beat ThorZaIN, which, granted, may have been due to ThorZaINs tilt after his two previous losses.

What I'm actually disappointed about, though, is your classification of servers. Reinforcing stereotypes is the best way to ensure their accuracy in the future. By reinforcing the stereotype that NA< all other servers, you have taken motivation away from those North American players who are good, but don't invest enough time in StarCraft to become professional. There could be high-master / GM NA players who have enormous potential who don't pursue a career in StarCraft because of the shitty things people say about the NA server.

Great writeup otherwise. I didn't know whatthefat was a TL writer. Congrats! I love your work :D

Great writeup.

I like how if you click on Ret's "I love liquipedia" photo it shows an enlarged picture of Ret, and if you click on Destiny's photo it also shows a picture of Ret. Ulterior motives?

Remember,

The players are the true stars.

Other personalities are the icing on the cake.

you don't have to agree with Wax, but you should appreciate him calling it like he sees it, and not being PC about it.

great article guys!

It just seemed rude to me. It didn't seem like he was calling it like he was seeing it. He lumped all NA players together-- personally I think that calls for some political correctness.

Are you seriously trying to say NA is not the weakest server? It has been like that for a long time and every NA pro will agree with it

I love HSC so much! MoMan and Hasuobs were my favorites, I could listen to either of them cast pretty much all day and be happy. Thanks to Take and his team for putting on such an awesome event!

only dumb people laugh at incontrols humor. like making fun of the british accent of his cocaster over and over. me personally thinks he shouldnt be at HSC. he is spreading subliminal hate and thinks its funny. im not saying he is doing it on purpose, it just the way he is - very ego-centered. not very appropriate for such a nice and positiv turnament.

political correctness? i lol'd. is there such a thing?



great writeup tho. i REALLY enjoyed HSC! especially MC and MKP casting and those insane Dimaga games.

Incontrol and Grubby's casting is seriously good. I'm not surprised considering their confidence and success irl, but it's still nice to have these kind of dual-role professionals around. Almost everyone did great casting, but those two stood out for me.

I always get a very passive-aggressive vibe from many of TL's BW writers...

That said he was obviously just voicing what he believed in, in all cases, so I'm not too offended.

Poor HerO lol, he needs to hurry up and realize Korean shyness will only make him fade into obscurity in global esports.
