HuK and Tyler are streaming and I usually love watching those streams. However, right now, I only want to see foreigners win.

so you actually think socke did "prepare" for MKP??^^

the grid was up for 1 day... im quite sure socke didnt even see more than 1-2 MKP PvTs at all

KR-US is definitely not unplayable, so lag didn't decide that game. Getting taken off-guard did.


Youre wrong. MKP would have taken the game with his counterpush if he would have hadn't any lags...


No. DTs were there to defend and there weren't enough scans to take out all the DTs. Lag didn't decide that game.

Lag is a huge factor. When everything is a bit slower than what you're used to practicing for hours on end, it really messes you up.

You know, these kinds of lag lag lag arguments is what'll argue against inviting Koreans to foreign leagues like NASL. It's tiring hearing them repeated page after page in every LP thread between Koreans and foreigners.

O dont think he prepared for MKP, but Im sure Socke watched tons of MKP games before. How many Socke games do you think MKP had watched? I guess none.

Socke won those games completely fairly, and simply played better.

MKP is a great player, but even with 0ms delay he would have lost that game.

dont mind him, he's just a bit sore that his korean idols are losing to foreigners... i feel socke is playing much better than he was at IEM, maybe it was nerves then? online tournament = more relaxed socke?

MKP is the type of player that lag will effect drastically. But he knew that when he signed up for the tournament :D

yeah you guys are right.

the korean gods can only lose because they have 100ms more then EU's. Otherwise they are untouchable since they play the game perfectly.

Socke, Strelok, Cruncher and ClouD are noobs.


rly - do you think like that?

Loner 2-1 ClouD - ClouD 2-0 MC. China Korea - lag difference? Korea is even better normally to NA.
So how does MC not win someone who just lost to Loner?
IdrA, GSL code S and best foreigner losing 2-0 vs strelok - playing from NA. how can a code s player without lag even lose maps?

you guys have rly no idea what u are talking about. lag is a factor - yes. but plz dont make it look as if koreans were 10times better than they show right now.

Who cares if Socke watched some games, he definitely couldn't know what MarineKing would do on each map (Marines+Tank or Marines+Marauder)

even tho, i really really really REALLY wanted MarineKing to win, I do feel like even if there was no lag, he woulda probably lost, owell.

Doesnt he have another chance though?
