Yeah, but kyhol got rolled on shakuras and jungle basin is a broken tvz map; the rest of the games were all rushes (metalopolis was the MC rush on EG's part, the others were all lolterran maraders and bunkers). It's just not at all entertaining from the perspective of a lot of viewers.

Im not concerned with the quality of games from the viewers perspective, the post I was responding too explicitly said ones "style" was bad from a business standpoint (ie they would gain no fans). I was merely refuting him not commenting on the overall quality of the series. One can hardly be blamed for getting "rolled" in game one or winning due to map imbalance in game 2 or getting rushed in game 3.

We were discussing the one build he does in axslav's games... I honestly at this point don't know how to stop it. Close positions at least.

Had I a chance to do it over I think I'd do the same thing maybe with more probes in the first fight AND give up the ramp and just wait as long as possible.

Skipping the first zealot hurts too. That build close positions is almost impossible to stop without it. Good try, though.. Rough that you and Axslav lost the same way. I lose to it all the time. T_T

I dont necessarily agree with ONE not letting IdrA play, but it's worse that iNcontroL came to this thread to complain about it, and everyone that says EG should have put IdrA on the roster 4 months ago is right, sometimes you need to take responsibility for your actions instead of lay blame.

And i dont think it was necessarily ONE being scared to lose if IdrA played, but EG afraid of losing without IdrA, a Bubbles/Kyhol/NamhciR lineup is much scarier than iNcontroL/Axslav/StrifeCro just from my experience playing vs them.

Cant fault ONE for wanting to win the clan match though the team league does have a prize.

your right, i have not had a long posting history here, perhaps a certain mod posting in this thread is just a bad representation of TL.

ONE has declined EG's request to use IdrA

I did get a quote from the ONE manager

"No. No, you fucking kidding me? We don't want to face your best lineup. We want to do whatever we can to face the lineup we have the best chance of beating. Regardless... if we can use the rules to win we will. We are actually working on a disconnection scenario where we can ex out another EG player. Had demuslim played we would have asked for a delay to push the clan war into the wee hours for him. We are ONE. We are.. serious business." - ONE management

why is it OK to blame your team manager's shortcoming on the opposing team's manager?

Pretty good games, that Marauder push was pretty scary.

Good games One, and better luck next time EG.

That was my point exactly jesus lol

@blur: Yes the "fear" we had was not using idra.. what? Would we have liked to? Obviously. Can you actually fault us for wanting IdrA in the lineup? Kidding me?

No i can't fault you for wanting your best player in the lineup, so you have a better chance at winning, so how can you fault an opposing team for following the rules to have a better chance at winning, and for you're professionally organized team to take 4 months to add your BEST player to your roster?

You can also respond to posts with intelligence instead of just blatantly stating your opinion then imposing that you can never be wrong. kidding me?

I don't understand why you guys always blow up over one little thing. As stated before idra has been on their roster for months, and being added just tonight is called poor management, nothing against Colbi because my encounters with him have been pleasant and he probably just forgot, which is perfectly acceptable. But just because this is idra they are suppose to allow him to play? He was added to the SCL rosters last season and even played against CNB (and lost) but nobody in their right mind would openly say okay play one of your best players, this is for a cash prize and they are following the rules, why people seem to question every rule is beyond me because people then bitch rules aren't followed. Stop being so hating on ONE, I congratulate them for following the rules, and sticking to their decisions.

cant believe they didnt allow idra to play.

its just dumb from all perspectives.

more people will watch the games.
if you win, even more street cred.
if you lose, nobody will bat an eye.
and lastly you dont anger fans.

Ok so this raises the larger question, why does TL allow you to represent them in such a bad mannered and blatantly abusive fashion?

Good on you guys ONE!!
Props for being professional and beating EG fair and square! Love you Geoff but this was a bad burn imo...Anyway good you guys beat Prime and Fnatic!
EG, you guys need to be a lot more mature and professional esp. given your position in foreigner e-sports. You guys are like the grandaddy of the foreign scene.
Why bully an upandcoming team for doing something legit to win?
ONE is showing a lotta promise and this triple kill by Namchir means shit is getting real!!
P.S:Edited!

@iNcontrol:

After watching the last three out of six games, I wanted to ask yours or EG's opinion on the bunker having its current Salvage ability. If I recall correctly, it was implemented because terrans were showing a significant reluctance in using them. I'm not certain that the reluctance is still the case, but if Salvage were changed or removed do you have any thoughts on the consequences, good or bad? I already have my own opinion on it, but I have much more respect for yours and would love to hear it!

Can you please shut up? You have 20 posts and you're coming here criticizing incontrol? Do you know how long he's been on TL and how long he's been a mod? If he's so bad and is a terrible representative of TL as a moderator, then why has he been a mod for so long?

You obviously haven't been here long enough to know incontrol is an awesome person and isn't some ill-mannered individual as you're trying to portray him as.
