I keep reading these threads and hoping that some day they'll actually realise that there's reputable sportsbooks that work outside of the united states that allow us to place actual bets on the actual matches, and they're breaking down real lines. Instead it's mildly amusing commentary on the tournament, using my favourite term in all of TL, things being "awkward". Oh well, I guess I'll just load up on bboong to beat sea and print my moneys

The crying Protoss bet was a bad one to take. They will cry the most. They always cry the most even if they do amazingly at the event. Protoss fans cried the most about WCS Asia and WCS World. They could take top 4 at IPL4 but if Hero loses a game vs zerg they would still cry the most.

I loved this article. I agree that four days for an event like this may give the organizers more breathing room but it'll be hard to maintain the momentum.

My awesome SC2 week has just begun with this article and the start of WCG!

Bogus can play in IPL? Nice! Honestly Bogus has the potential to be the Rain of Terran.

Tasteless voice: Is Innovation going to be the next Zerg bonjwa?

Can't wait for the Artosis hype.

Edit - Also hearing about Life makes me disappointed he fell so quickly this GSL.

Hope he can get back to form.

But, as Wax pointed out, that wasn't the bet. The bet was about who would cry more, and here, I admit, he has a point. The history of Protoss tears is much longer than that for Terran. Perhaps Protoss players simply are more abused, or perhaps Terrans have the dignity to not complain so much after MVP won them a million titles.


Huh. I guess my perspective must be off. Perhaps it was learning the Ways of the Whine from Artosis and Idra back in Brood War.

Perhaps it's pent up frustration from actually reading Terrans complain back in 2010 when Zerg had to play on Steppes of War, Delta Quadrant and Jungle Basin, or in 1/1/1 season of 2011.

Perhaps it's just my personal bias as a Protoss player.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

But this is KeSPA we're talking about, an organization that's more famous for its unfortunate decision making than anything else


Yo, I can think of a few things they're more famous for.

Such as competitive Starcraft EXISTING past 2001ish.

It's obviously about not winning, which is quite probable

Haha this was a really fun read! Chances of closing ceremony at a big event being awkward? 100%
