Just because fnatic and KawaiiRice isn't part of this tournament, doesn't mean you have to trash it. I think we should be glad that sponsors and casters are willing to put on sc2 events and help spread e-sports. | ||

I was actually referring to the complaints about 2v2. Being the hardcore tourny site TL is, 2v2s are often just played for fun or with casual friends. My point was that it was not a tourny to prove who is really the best player in the world, but to create one hell of a show for people who may not be familiar with the SC II e-sports scene. Not only that, the prize pool will also add more hype, tension, and excitement to the matches. Especially for finals. | ||

I thought you were trashing the tournament when you said "take it with a grain of salt." Are we still cool? | ||

I enjoy competitive 2v2 matches. I remember watching TLO and Laejten in the 2on2 Ladies Choice tournament. Some great games. | ||

I just didn't quite understand one thing. Kiwikaki, for exemple, will have to play 4 times at the same map? It really really suck, and I wonder why he didn't put shakuras at the rotation :S | ||

Well, not to bad, at least they can choose the players. The bad thing is that there are a lot of Mirror matchups! Also, Naama talked to you at your stream, saying about playing a match, I was wondering what it was at that time, now I know, lol Wow, I looked again and there isn't a single zerg at Lost Temple and Delta Quadrant, they are all at the first 2 maps. That really suck for the entertainment, mirrors suck so much >: | ||
