I would like to add to this that "fighting" could also be interpreted as a state of mind for the person playing. Where they will fight and "snap some banshee necks" state of mind. So when I say "Idra fighting!" it is me as a fan saying "Idra I am cheering for you to snap some banshee necks". | ||

Even for the people who went 4 for 4, I doubt ANYONE actually expected this to happen, unbelievable! It still baffles me what happened in game 3 of Nestea vs. Goody, the man is immortal! Say what you want about lag, but even if it was significant, it's still very impressive. | ||

Korea and Europe have about the same distance to the US. There are other factors not only distance. Also imagine - if EU & KR are the same distance from US they're about the same distance to each other as they're from the US. And EU / KR lag is terrible. This pic shows that the EU/NA connection is more developed than NA/KR (only underwater fibres are shown) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/re5Pd.gif) About the games: I liked all of them. Do I think Adel / Goody are worse players than Mvp / Nestea? Yes, 100%, without a doubt. But I also think that Barca & Real are better teams than the rest of the primera division (Spanish football league). It's normal that sometimes better players / teams lose. And actually that's exciting. Why would we have a tournament / league if we would eleminate players/teams just by saying "X is better than Y so X advances automatically. But please play" It would be really boring. Imagine juding the GSTL with that kind of criteria  So it's good that lesser players have the ability to win, if their preperation was better & they have a good day. Goody mentioned something in the TakeTv interview (after the games) that the games were played on wednesday, so maybe the Mvp games as well? If so that would be the day before the GSTL finals - so that might explain the results a bit more (but that's normal - if you're good in football you have to play international league (CL,EL), national league and in the national cups). Thorzaine, Hasu, Goody, Adel, Machine, Axslav, Minigun, Sheth, Incontrol and many more. They're all "lesser" players compared to the GSL Code S powerhouses. But, given the circumstances, they have the chance to take games (and even series) from those superstars. And for me, as a viewer, this needs to be the case. Because it adds excitement and an element of uncertainty, so good for entertainment. About lag - there might've been some issues. But overall I dont think any series was decided because of the lag. When I recall Artosis correctly, then Nestea is (one of) the best Zerg in the world, because he has stellar decision making. Decision making wasnt affected by the lag - he just made bad decisions (during g3). | ||

We can all agree that the player experiencing lag is at a disadvantage. However, we're not really sure which among the Koreans lost because of lag or was just outplayed. | ||

Is this really how the game play from Korea to NA is? Can nobody really say this does not affect game play (in micro intensive cases)? | ||

So really, they're incorrect by saying "FIGHTING". but then again, they're korean, and don't speak english natively. So what's everyone else's excuse? It's a meme. | ||

SC culture is deeply tied up with Korean culture for good reason and using terms like 'fighting', 'manner', 'chobo', 'gosu' etc. is the fans' way of showing their appreciation for Korea's influence on the SC scene. English is a dynamic language and is capable of incorporating new words and word usages. The neologism 'salaryman' was coined in Japan but is well known and used in English now. You're probably one of those Koreans who tries to stop foreigners using any Korean words ('don't call it kimchi, it's layered cabbage with chili sauce, don't call it kimbab, it's laver with rice' etc.) These kind of people drive me mad- it's almost like they're ashamed of their own language and culture. | ||

TSL3 is broadcasted through replays. The matches are played a couple of days in advanced with only a TSL admin observing. Then the replays are whats casted during the broadcast. Other online tournaments do cast live though, and there's definitely the chance that cheating comes into play. Not sure how you avoid cheating there. | ||
