I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind the name of these threads. I suppose it means the first round of division 3. Maybe something more explicit?

"[NASL] Round 1 Division 3"
"[NASL] Week 1 Division 3"

How are people still complaining about InControl's "bias"? Any bias he said he would have he admitted up front, and at the end of the first game, he said "let's all remove our bias, and clear our minds, and just all say that was an amazing PvP."

Because he admits to be biased it's ok to be biased?
Good reasoning!

Also, it is understandable to be tired of Korean dominance in general as a Starcraft fan. There are so many good players from countries all over the world adding a lot of color to the scene. And yet, all you hear about is Korea - a somewhat isolated nation with a very distinct culture of people who usually can't speak English, and thus give no interviews. When foreign players do well, and when foreign events draw a lot of attention, the Starcraft scene as a whole moves to being an international practice, rather than some nerdy hobby you practice in Korea.

With SC2 the international fans are finally getting to enjoy the game in a way which suits us better. More countries represented, more diverse players, interviews in English, and major events of interest outside Korea and during more accessible hours. Every foreigner who beats a Korean during this time of transition is a testament to how international and embraced by the whole world SC2 is, and thus it is understandable, and not unwanted for foreign casters to feel excited upon watching such games.

Lastly I'd like to add I think both Artosis and Incontrol do a great job of maintaining a somewhat neutral approach to the games they cast despite their hearts beating for a player in particular. To some extent you have to let a caster put part of himself into a cast, rather than being a robot making sure not show emotion or say something the slightest controversial.

(Also, I suspect Koreans themselves are very nationalistic and biased towards their players, to an extent which surpasses that of foreigners (who right now if for example american seem to love europeans as much as other americans and vice versa <3). I don't know if I'm right but I think I heard Korean pro gamers think it a disgrace above all to lose to foreigners etc.)

man, that Nada comeback was so beautiful. :D

For those who say dde lost it more than nada won it, i fully disagree. Every1 is perfect with hindsight, when it is in the heat of battle that is a different story.
