We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.

Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.

Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out.

Because Artosis is by far the best commentator in SC2 atm.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

MMA did "wall in" with the CC at first. But he made the mistake of not realizing that the CC has a rounded model, even if the grid is a square... so lings just ran by the sides of the CC.

Man, this thread is slowing down fast since all the westerners are eliminated. Guess I wasn't the only one that doesn't care about the results of a bunch of random koreans.

What? Are you implying games aren't worth watching just because of the players' nationality? They aren't "random Koreans" either. So stupid....


Don't reply to these comments.. people watch games for different reasons. I do because I love starcraft, which means I'll be happy to watch koreans at the top if they are truly the best. Other people watch for the hype, and they feel more excited when their homies play. I understand the feelings of many people, although I feel that shouldn't make them miss quality starcraft games.



There is no shortage of quality games, what makes MLG and other tournaments special to me is cheering for personalities I know. Just having random amazing players, that don't speak the language, that are not involved in the western scene (don't stream, don't go on shows, don't contribute) I just don't care about their results.

A korean wins, which one? I certainly don't care, in fact, koreans will take home all the big money, because they are top 3.
That's how I roll!

mma and losira haven't picked up as many fans as MC, most of the crowd will prob be cheering for mc as they were during the idra match.

Just woke up and it looks like I've missed some of the best games!

A couple of things I want to note.
MajOr did an incredible job at this event.
Sheth and Slush are on the brink of breaking through that "next level"
MLG have done an amazing job. So much so, that I have enough faith to already buy tickets to the next 2 events. Even an act of god didn't stop them.

Now for the bombshell.
I don't like the fact that Koreans have come through and taken *all* (top 3) the money. Yes, they provided the "best" play, and are incredibly solid/strong/gosu, however to have "The greater race" fly in for 3 days, walk away with $12,000, and leave isn't good for the foreigner scene.
As is obvious, we have a pretty amazing audience now-days, but I don't believe we're giving the best foreigners the best chance at making this game viable. And if the best can't win an event like this, what is left for those at the brink of deciding whether or not they're going to dedicate their time/money/life to gaming, or to a 9-5 job.

Just like I buy the items with the "Made in Australia" tag over those made in China, I feel we should support the NA scene more than we did at MLG Columbus. Either that, or make it equally viable for foreigners to go to Korea, as it is for Korea to come to NA
(3 days for $5k, opposed to 1 month for $1500 in code A)

Sincearly,
Concerned fan.


QUOTED FOR TRUTH!

This should be on the front page of TL. If Koreans come into the western tournaments and take all the money then the western scene is dead. Players like Naniwa and Thorzain could not afford to attend these tournaments if they had not won previous ones. In the future those types of players simply won't show up, because it will be a given that the Koreans will win.


I found it kinda funny how he talks about growing the NA scene and you talk about 2 europeans. How far is it okay to fly to steal your money? And since he quoted the first prize, $5k, why didn't he mention the other first prize, Code S?

So MMA gets Code S regardless?

LosirA is Code S
MC is Code S
MMA is Code A

No, there won't be any Code S prizes at Columbus, only Code A for foreigners. I think there's going to be a Code S prize at the rest of the MLG events no matter your nationality.

Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, within the Top 3, regardless of country of origin, who does not already have Code S status.

Yeah MMA gets it anyway.


Another thing I spotted is

If Code S status is awarded to a Korean player, or not awarded at all, Code A status also will be awarded to the 4th highest placing non-Korean player.

So then who gets it, Naniwa, Slush, Moon, ?

because IdrA woul sayno.

yodagonemad,

you're a racist just say it and you're a moron.

you sound like those people back in the day when they complained about having black people play with the white people in football or basketball.

you're pathetic, anybody who wants segregation of competition in this day and age is a moron.

Although not as dramatic, we're truly seeing 3 of the top players MMA and MC especially. I really hope MMA wins though, I want him in code S! (winner gets it regardless of where hes from)

NO the winner does NOT get code S. If a mod could add that to top it would eliminate a lot of confusion. Also the Koreans I believe are not eligable for the spot but that one im less sure of.



Koreans aren't eligible for the CODE A spots. However, the CODE S spots are fair game for the winner.


Yes they are. Anyone who isnt in the GSL is

I want MMA to win, but not like this, he's playing like crap Seems they're both tired. Hell, I'm tired just by watching and all I've done since 3 days is waking up just as the stream starts and sleeping when the stream ends. Pretty obvious that for players it's way, way worse.

What's happening to MLG?

Moon vs MC -> Moon trying the same allin twice in a row
Naniwa vs MC -> weird BO losses
MC vs IdrA -> 2 allins, a towerrush and one real match

Losira vs MMA so far -> a failed wallin in g1 and a really weird push in g2


... where did the quality play go ?



Are you serious? G2 was a good game. MMA played very well and pushed out when he sniped essential tech.


No, it was a retarded game cause Losira suicided his entire army into tank lines. I don't know what he was thinking at that point.
