Seriously, like no one will watch this event so why bother covering the ppv?

Kinda lame that DreamHack doesn't get as much exposure as MLG ...
Of course it's not the same line-up of players but I think it's still an important tournament !

*Also wanted to add that tournament overlapping is really bad organisation, not Starcraft II being so global that we have 150 high profile tournaments every week.

1 thing that interests me here is that MKP, Parting, and MC still have their current Code S runs to look after while DRG has nothing to lose (he could never lose to Ace >_>). Will be interesting to see if this makes any noticeable impact in the outcome of this event as I doubt any of those 3 players wants to give away any free information to the rest of Code S (especially considering MKP and Parting are in the same group and both have a chance of going up against MC in RO8 if he were to advance). We won't really know until we can compare the play here to the play in Code S but it should be fun to see.

Now you need to do an article about Dreamhack Eizo Open aswell so you don't seem so biased towards MLG Spring Arena

I think grubby will be great like look at his experience in professional gaming. He is in that group of people artosis, tasteless, day9, incontrol...etc whos opinion about SC2 I actually respect like he may not be getting results but he does know a good bit about the game. Oh and he did cast a few times already this isn't his first event but it was spotty but one thing I remember was reddit threads saying "wow grubby is a great caster" so I don't think he will be bad at all.

To be fair: HuK did have the easiest possible groups in - most - of his MLG runs.

Like the last arena, he only met 1 korean which wa Oz in a PvP. Given it is Oz and PvP beating him 2-0 was quite good, but he was absolutely demolished by DRG and Marineking.
Same goes for his the winter championship where he had to face only 1 "real" korean, in heart; a cheesy code A/B player. Who proceeded to beat him twice in the tournament. His most notable win the whole tournament was again a korean protoss, now Parting.

I am not gonna say Huk is bad, he is not. But I do still think he has not proved himself to be one of the greats.

Your memory is flawed regarding Columbus. He had both Violet and Heart in his group as well as Ret/Socke who he beat at the other event you are speaking of who apparently you think are pushovers.


He did say most, not all...

Show nested quote +
After the group stage at Columbus he went on to beat Naniwa and Parting before losing a 4-2 extended series to Heart. That is 3 Koreans in the one plus Naniwa and if you payed attention to SOTG you would see Tyler talking about how PvP is won based on skill now and not luck(most of the time) so trying to discredit that is silly too.


Again, all PvP's. No one in the world that knows what they're talking about would say that HuK isn't one of the best PvP'ers in the world. That said, being a beast in one matchup doesn't make him "one of the greats".

Either way Im pretty sure he said one korean so w/e

I wont call MKP being the best player in the world before he wins a GSL(probably this season). After MMA and DRG maybe the best player in the world title is empty right now but fiercely contested by newcomers like alive squirtle parting etc etc

Well one spot for code S is already reserved for Stephano so this arena shouldn't award the other spot.

Damn you Waxangel. I was going to just follow the LR and Liquipedia, and watch Dreamhack.

But nooooo. You have to write good hype and make me actually go "Maybe I should buy this."

And then think "It's only $10 - and didn't you just get a bonus?"

Dammit.

(gogo MKP!! Traveling light, ready to knock Sundance upside the head and take all that sweet MLG money.)
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Just a thought but would it not have made more sense to have had this event in Korea as practically everyone playing in it lives there?
