But as a Protoss player myself, I couldn't help but highlight just how awesome that was. Because there are little things more annoying than a Terran scanning and destroying your observer which is right over their army. | ||

This crap made lose a good bit of hope in having non-European players come here more often. Seriously. P.S. Having fellow countryman Bischu knocked out of the tournament on coin toss makes me angry to no end too. | ||

I just don't understand the purpose of your post..'Tis all... It was more an answer to those who say the lvl of play @ GSL is SO MUCH better than the games we've seen this weekend, I gave possible causes for it. I'll ignore the fact GSL is filled with imba Koreans :p | ||

And i think that MaNa was saved by the map too. Since the same banshee into siege-slowpush won him all the other maps. And didnt seem to be so great on XC where you can't contain ppl at teh natural in the same way. Cheers to Naama well deserved win | ||

A lot of the sc2 players are new to tournaments and big lans unlike the quake 3 guys who have been going to tournaments for years. The quake players are quite awesome though :D | ||

They do this at the GSL to, watch the scene in the background during the last minutes of a GSL day. Nothing strange about it, and even more common at lans like dreamhack. | ||

Obviously the coin flipping is stupid, however. Agreed. The coin flip needs to go but otherwise I really like the format, group play followed by single elim. | ||

It might have been the fact that so much embarrassing stuff piled up at the same time, but to me having the players stand there holding boxes made it look like it was some kindergarten handouts (especially TOP and Fenix who didn't get much). This could have been handled off-stage, no need to make them look awkward like that. Maybe I am sensitive, but that's probably because Dreamhack is really the only Swedish event that has any international relevance for e-sports, and I don't want the reputation of it getting spoiled by organizers not putting the extra thought into it (or them not seeing the errors happening). | ||
