I, too, think Terran is OP enough that 4 of them can qualify for 3 spots. Blizzard should get on that imba.

sorry for the cheap joke. was easy. like MMM.

Okay, I'll get out now.

according to this http://www.readmore.de/index.php?cont=show_groupstage&id=76&coverage=436 he came 1st
but that'd make sense (match between the players > score then?)

edit: here http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season5/gamescom/sc2_groupstage/ it says sarens is 1st as well

Yes, for those of us watching the stream in Rob's channel it was epic hilarity. You had to see this announcer at work to understand the situation. (slightly upset that i was warned for the troll picture, that was the entire point of discussion)

anyway he is a native German and he would interview the players after their games, however his bad English (a cover?) combined with a cocky attitude made for some pretty BM situations.

as Bad Binky said, in the Hasuobs-Lucifron game, even tho Lucifron won, he still gets eliminated.

so the announcer said in front of the crowd, with both players right beside him "Well we have 1 winner but really we have 2 losers"

there were many more examples of such blatant disregard for etiquette but i cant quote with accuracy, so you're just going to have to wait until it hits youtube or something.

You need to understand - I wasn't bashing TLO, I think he's a great player. I just dislike this idea about him being some creativity God. Sure, he may be creative, but he sure as Hell wouldn't be "creative" if he played Protoss or Zerg nearly as much as he plays Terran. In reality, Terran are just that much more refined than the other two races: the fact any mix of units works relatively well, as long as it has common sense, for Terran makes them very hard to deal with - moreso than Protoss/Zerg.

You can predict a Protoss move if you see 1 tech building, if you see a Factory against Terran you can't really make any "sound" judgement.

Good tourney so far. It was kind of a shame to see Gunrun and Rael get snubbed like that by ESL, which could have been remedied by just having a better line of communication. A simple, "We are going to be putting Idra's game on the mainstage with Day9 and Apollo casting, because yada yada (<-- insert reason here)" would have probably made the awesome crew at GLHF not have to sit there scratching their head for an hour before the next game.
