No one gave a poop then, even though he had a 2200 rating or something. Solid player. It'd be nice if more people were able to emerge onto the main stage instead of recycling the same 10-15 names in every tournament. I love WhiteRa and TLO as much as the next dude/dudess, but let's get serious. There are going to be millions playing this game. There are some tournaments where anyone can join to make an name for themselves. You can't expect that invite based tournaments are going to invite random people from ladder just because they are doing ok. In example right now GGI tournament is ongoing and I don't remember seeing Masq there with the other 128 people who joined. I apologize if I'm wrong and he is indeed playing there. Hope he makes a name for himself | ||

Why not go to bed a few hours earlier and get up early? I find this works much better for me. Although tonight I'll probably stay up myself.  | ||

Hope he makes a name for himself Not talking specifically about Masq. Nor do I think random people should get invites. But if you're beating 'top players' (named players) on ladder, even a few times, and are at the top of the highest division, you shouldn't be discounted. It's nice to refresh the list of people the community looks up to and reveres. Keeps it fresh, keeps it moving--you have to prove yourself to stay in it. That sort of thing. I have no real complaints about how things have been organized. I think tournaments have been successful and extremely enjoyable to watch. But there's room for improvement. And obviously I'm aware that big flashy names attract viewers and so forth--and I love that (there are few things that feel similarly to watching Tester and TLO in the pit or whomever from the King of the Beta or the other beta focal points)--so I don't fault anyone for not including other names. | ||

What is the time in Norway and Croatia when we have proleague games? Here they are like 1am or 6am usually! (12h) | ||

EDIT: sometimes it's like 14:30h, depends on PL schedule. | ||

That 2nd Idra vs Tester game was really reminiscent of his 4th game against White-Ra in the HDH Final where he was maxed while White-Ra was at 150 yet White-Ra, much like Tester's Collosi just burnt Idra's hydras to a crisp. | ||

Unfortunately Blizzard's system isn't as solid as ICCUP's, but it's something. | ||

I hope he "patches" this fault he's having lately... | ||

He seems to be on a whole 'nother level. So creative. Just little things like his clever building placements in game 2 really made me :O. I like Idra's play, was disappointed by this series. Banelings seemed like an obvious choice for Game 1 to bust that wall and stream in with speedlings. And in game 2 he went pure hydra Hydra sucks the fat one vs HT and Colossi. What else was he expecting from Tester? =/ Zerg's army is so weak at the moment though It's so difficult to counter so much stuff. Watching Zergs get rolled by collossi and mech really makes me want to switch races I think its time for a change | ||
