No, a rematch at Spring Arena or any other tournament can no more change the past than Blizzard can implement LAN.


So bitterly funny.

Great write-up, little typo here in the MKP v Parting writeup:


making everyone single one
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

great writeup, I love how you don't make any assumptions about slumps with DRG and MKP, they could be lucky or unlucky, or it could be practice. We don't know and you addressed the uncertainty and built up my hype! <3
Oh my glob!

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. 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.


Wasn't impressive of HuK to win against NaNiwa with 2 incredibly lame cheeses. Not even real games. NaNiwa has and will destroy HuK in real games.

"All of the players have far superior knowledge of the game, compared to casters"

Are we... playing the same game or?

I have to say, I wasn't going to purchase a ticket for the MLG Spring Arena, because I bought the last Arena and was disappointed at the lack of an audience and thus complete absence of fan energy (and no awarding ceremony at the end, either!)

But I bought a ticket for this Arena for one reason and one reason only: Grubby casting.

Well played, MLG. Well played.

You're such a sucker. But yeah... Grubby sure is awesome.

But on the other hand... DreamHack has that audience and fan energy you are searching for. It has amazing casters: Apollo and Wolf and they have free high quality stream.

So your choice is kinda illogical. Other than the Grubby part.

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?


cheaper to bring eight guys to NYC, than fly all your production guys from NYC to kor


Why not use GSL production crew

You guys don't realize how expensive is that view of manhattan skyscraper in the background. :D
