Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

GJ TL.
The interview came after idra gave him the finger. And yeah, right, that ceremony motion MC always does is definitely on the same level as point blank giving someone the finger. Idra needs to grow up as well as all these kids cheering him on for it.
I think people like you who are sensitive to it need to grow up lol.
It's not about being sensitive to the finger. It's the mere fact that Idra is so socially inept his only response to a friendly gesture of challenge is one of vulgarity. No one here has never seen the finger before. But if this was a verbal exchange it'd be:

So Morrow, Axslav and 2 others lost the last round of the Open Winners Bracket. I cant find any of them in the Open loosers bracket. Are they out completely? Since everything is double elim, I would assume they get another shot at it.
So, whats up?
They got placed in the championship losers bracket.

Wow something needs to be done about this kind of behavior. This is getting out of control, I mean this is just off limits .
Omg leik I am so so offended. I am totes not mature enough to handle this. Idra should be ostracized.
Not going to draw comparison to real sports, but come on. This behavior is obviously detrimental for esports. Idra crossed the line there in my opinion.
MC threatened to decapitate him..
oh shut up. that hand motion is not akin to verbally threatening to cut somebody's head off. it's akin to saying, "hey you, you're dead next time we face each other in our respective field of play, be it the golf course or the computer".
quit trolling or quit being so naive.
You do that in any pro league you get suspended or fined heavily.
is that right? may i proudly present you with.... the... tadahdahdhahahhh.... N. F. L. !!!!
Please. Players in professional leagues do such things all the time without being fined. Don't make me find evidence or youtubes of touchdown celebrations akin to hand motions that didn't entail fines.
Players get penalized and fined for making a "throat slashing motion" during a game, and I believe similar rules exist in the NBA, MLB etc.
Its just theatricality in this case... I mean, you have wrestling dont you? If anyone in any way takes his gesture seriously then ya, sure, its not appropriate but everyone with a brain knows he is just being theatrical in his way of saying... your going down next time we meet....
well yeah but it's also penalized in every real sport (wrestling doesn't count).
but these are gamers lol. gamers don't give each other concussions or spinal injuries or kill them (that hockey stick to the head) or flash gang symbols (larry johnson), and the NFL's silliness takes the fun out of the league.
in the NFL, a celebration involving two players that isn't like a chest bump is penalized. it's nuts. but making analogies to US sports is stupid because a throat slash gets you penalized in every major sport here.

Terran: 13-27
Protoss 8-12
Zerg 23-10
You got average terrans like Drewbie, Gretorp, and underperforming terrans like TLO...ofc you get some skewed games. And Moon, Losira, and July are all zerg.
okay... so what have I missed in the last 3 hours or so? I stayed up all night until 7:30am (Sydney time) and I just got up again (10:30am Sydney time).

Winners of the Open pool (4 of them - July, Thorzain, Major and Fenix) get seeded into Pool play. It's a complicated tournament format. But a pretty good one at that.
