Am I the only one who got the feeling that the southkoreans are no longer the ones showing the rest of the world how to play the game? Atleast for me there seem to be better tournament-games in europe every two days, than i 've seen so far in der whole GSL Season 3 - and I don't mean in terms of entertainment - but in terms of the level of the strategies and their execution. And this final really fits to the season
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill - Fifteen percent concentrated power of will - Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain ..

So much hate on Rain although he deserves Ro8 results... I don't understand. He knew he couldn't handle NesTea toe to toe so he did what it needed to win. He destroyed HongUn, who is a mid-tier protoss. With this bracket, he's now in the finals, and he shows brilliant openings... It's just his execution is subpar compared the the level required to play at this stage. Every stages of the game after the opening, the solidity of MC's make Rain's play awful, but it's not. It's just subpar.

Stop hating him he doesn't deserve this. He's a good player who had a good bracket and used what he could to get this far. And you know what ? He almost lost a game he should have won "easily" ? Yeah, easily, against MC... He won. That is all that matter.

GIMME ALL THE BELGIAN WAFFLES I CAN GET FOR THIS MONEY !!!!!! BELGIAN WAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFLEEEEEEEEES

I'm sorry but how can anyone defend rain? He's good yes, but good enough to be in the final skillwise?

Like.. was I the only one who saw the second game where he managed to lose 20 SCV's at his gold expo to one single DT and 21 SCV's to a HT at his nat just because he lacks the micro to pull em back, those 2 units were pretty much ignored and could reign free killing his stuff.

How do you even defend that.


He made it into the final = he has the skill to be in the final.


LOGIC'D.


Well. BBB made it pretty far but he did NOT have the skill to get as far as he did.

its catchy and fun.

unlike tons of western popmusic which is 99% downright crap(POPOPOPPOPOKERFACE)

dont be so serious about it.


also sometimes "bad" and simple stuff can be very good.look at vybz kartel in the dancehall scene. mostly super simple and dumb music but sooooo freakin catchy cause the guy has some magic.

Modern music in general is crap.



cant say that. there is tons of amazing stuff out there in pretty much all genres. just most of it isnt what you see on tv.

The proof that E-sports are just like regular sports is that fans and haters of SC2 are just as obnoxious as real football fans. And in fact, if you think of the race you play as a "nationality", you could say that e-sport fans are just as blind and chauvinist as any football fan. MC is the better player, but there's no reson to hate Rain, who, by the way, hasn't cheese'd once yet (and i think he should do it in game 4).

Pokerface rules.


the same can said for the dribble of all forms of pop and hip hop.... a lot of them are talentless etc etc. but people find it catchy.

i usually dont listen to pop at all, but i absolutely love Marshmallow <3

Not just a criticism of your post in particular but why the fuck do people argue matters of personal taste as if there's some fucking objective measure of what is good and what's trash??? You like it or you don't but please say that it is how YOU feel and not as if you can make some sort of objective statement of truth regarding what music is good.

This is like saying if someone drugged all of his opponents and thus they were unable to play they deserve to get bye's.
