Applaud yourselves for being so smartass and condescending toward the organizers of an event that's trying to embrace the game you all love. </3 TL Are you really that dense? They took people's money and didn't provide the service for it. Not only that but all streams were dead. Then they said no refunds. It took everyone's complaining to get them to offer refunds and free passes at the next event. | ||

I'm sure his opponents aren't ridiculously horrible, they qualified for this tournament, they had their share of 4gates as well, but when people are very skilled, it's pretty disappointing when i see someone at 4gating with 22 consecutive wins all 4gates. imagine if i could have 90% success rate with 2rax, or 7rr. oh i like this gem "4 gating someone worse then you>playing a 50 minute game vs someone worse then you. " you'd hate to play zerg, my friend. See,that is where u are wrong. Most top people do that in tournaments where they have to play like 10 rounds,iv seen Dimaga countless times 6 pooling in first rounds of tournaments,ive seen Nightend and Whitera cannon rush,Strelok proxy rax, and so on... Yes Naniwa is on that level of play that he can effectively 4gate someone whos not a top player,and he had to play 10 rounds or so just to finish open bracket and group stage, playing all those matches in a long macro games would have exhausted him. He is probable the most complete Protoss,dare i say player, outside of Korea atm and u shouldnt hold a grudge if he doesnt want to play with some diamond-low masters players for 30 mins. Lets not forget how Incontrol got passed his group and TLO for that matter,maybe u should bash him and not Nani. Its not like MC plays 30 mins macro games with bad opponents,no he roflstomps them in under 10 mins. | ||

(i was standing right there when she did this) then again, what is possibly 2 more games to qxc? ((i'm not saying this to hate on qxc, but because i was standing there and watched his interview with CSN)) edit: ps- @ffdestiny- the post i made earlier was basically me quoting the dude standing above me when we had this conversation... ((i was the one sitting with the blue shirt)) | ||

Haha. Grudge match. (seriously though, Select should win. I think he's a much better player than incontrol... but we've seen so many upsets, I'm not going to make a prediction on it.) PS: Those dignitas guys are really ripping the tournament apart. Select and Nani going 4-0, and Sjow going 3-1 (losing to Select). Could we see a 1-2-3 performance by them? | ||

Its either some zergs which he would be confident in beating. Or Qcx/Huk where he's had consistent success against. Oh and yes i know the result for his series against Huk today but he showed he can still beat him quite comfortably. That game 2 was very weired :D | ||

Edit: Ok I sorted it out in my head, the mlg brackets are right, for some reason I pegged haypro as 3rd and ret as 4th when writing out my estimated bracket earlier. | ||

It's hilarious that Incontrol has a top 6 spot locked up by beating Slush, Mihai and an absolutely-terrible-playing-TLO. Slush is an extremely good zerg, definitely ROOT's best zerg and one of NA's best zergs. He is no pushover. Mihai is also quite good. He did fight through the Open Bracket, and he took down dde, who is probably the most underrated terran in NA. TLO has been slumping, but that is not Incontrol's fault. Incontrol did what he had to do to take the series... I wouldn't hate on Incontrol. His opponents were pretty skilled. incontrol fighting! | ||

They failed again on the first day, the other times i've seen they got their shit together for the second and subsequent days (that finals misshap the only exception) but today was even worse. There was a total of half of one series and half of a game of another seriesthat were live games streamed today. The only thing else we got was one and two thirds of another series cast via replay. This was over what 10 hours or something? | ||

But I'm guessing qxc wins, so beating qxc and then Ret is probably one of the hardest things he could possibly have to do, both great players. Would i just be dreaming if i was hoping for the stream to be working tomorrow? We're probably going to miss 90% of the games again. | ||

Could we see a 1-2-3 performance by them? dude, nani was a fuckin beast with the way he played today... as hard as it is to say this- i thought his games against tyler were brilliant ((sorry, tyler!)) i talked to sjow earlier in the day, and tried to say i enjoyed his games- but he was still obsessing over his loss to select on the main stage yesterday... i felt kinda bad, but i jus said to him, 'dude- you played on the main stage in front of the entire world- that's impressive enough!' and he says back to me, 'yeah, it's not that big a deal. it used to bother me, but now it doesn't bother me at all...' Sjow is a baller. Select is also really intimidating to me, for whatever reason- i haven't gotten the opportunity to talk to him yet, but i don't rightly know what i'd even say to him... 'good games, dude! how does it feel to be dominating MLG again?' something tells me that would come out sounding sarcastic to him... | ||

I really think every time that person has said something about the time when the stream will return it has been 100% wrong. The first night with constant 15 minute warnings, today with hour late on the 545 start return time. Here's to hoping it'll happen this time. | ||
