And here he lost to Genius and Demuslim, which are both very very good.
All he showed at MLG was ONE SINGLE build order over and over again and a bunch of incompetent Protoss players not being able to defend it again and again and again.
He had a very hard time against Slush but Slush is hardly a top player and still he struggled in like 2 30 minutes games.
Then he met Idra who crushed him in 10 minutes.
Now Select met an actual good Protoss and lost of course. Then he met an actual good Terran and lost.
I am so tired of reading how good Select was at MLG when I remember how bored I was of seeing the same build order and the ONLY same 3 units in every game, marines, marauders, medivacs.
Trying something else will result in failing for Select.
Next time pay some attention to the matches. In the Finals Select said himself that he hasn't have any Zerg practise at all, because none of his friends doesn't play Zerg. That would actually be why he struggled in that match-up.
no, that was a terrible excuse for being awful at tvz

If this is true, then I am overjoyed. After WhiteRa's disappointed me in MLG DC, I thought that he was done for because he couldn't practice as much as he used to. I really hope he can come back and be one of the top level protoss's in the world

They are casting a match per hour or so (aside from the tech issues). The long breaks are there for a reason, they have 4 simultaneous streams going on... They want people to have a chance check out everything else going on. The other events are there, and they have resources dedicated in that as well. No reason for Blizzard to exclude their other investments over a SC2 tournament.
WoW is offline to. Do they really expect that we want to see a dance contest?? I mean if your there yeah okey its fun. But not when there is startcraft going on. I cant imagine you let people pay and only show around 1/6 of the tournament
Dude, the dance isnt the only thing payers get. You get to see the panels too.
Look at the schedual atm its only the dance ... but that isnt the point. You promise a tourney. People buy tickets in advance to see the tourney in HD. And when it finally starts you only show a fraction of the games. That is serious BM!

Usually it is, but after everyone saw how he actually performed in that match-up, i kinda understand and trust him.

Regardless of tournament performance, EG has a lot of great folks that contribute to the community. There's more to gaming than a prize pool. And frankly I think sponsors care more about the visibility of Incontrol not just as a pro but as someone who teaches people to improve and is on stuff like state of the game.
I love how everyone likes to bag on the pros. None of these guys are terrible. Not select, or huk, or incontrol or any of them. They'd certainly dominate 99.9% of the players who post on here.
