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.

So idra gets into code A now right? will he go or say that korea is unbalanced? I don't think he's the type to go back to the major leagues and would rather stay in the minors and dominate the lower talent.


Idra already said he won't go to Korea, not for code A nor code S. In Korea you basically only play the GSL while there's a lot more oppurtunities in the US and Europe


Yea i wouldn't want to play in the NFL and play for $50,000 when i can dominate the CFL and win the $250 prize pools. The only prize pools worth anything in the US are the MLG overall championship and blizzcon and the koreans will come to win those.

Thats the problem with the north american players, they want to settle for lesser leagues because becoming the best takes too much work.

I think idra doesnt want to go back to korea because he got run out the first time because of his attitude is my guess.


I believe that's how you Americans do it, right? ;o)
He didn't get run out -.-.. He said the scene is easier to succeed here instead of playing in one hard tournament.


Between NASL, IEM, Dreamhack, and MLG, the prize pool for foreign events is bigger than that of the GSL. Korea has their own smaller tournaments, I realize, but I believe the two scenes are pretty equal in terms of prize pool, and the foreign scene is much easier. It makes a lot more sense to stay in the US, where you were _born_, than to live in a foreign country where you'll probably end up making less money.


Foreigners can say goodbye to easy money. If koreans start invading western lans foreigners are gonna be bankrupt soon.


or learn to be better gamer...


Won't happen, if Koreans start coming to major western tournaments then western e-sports will die. They will just dominate everything, the scene will get stagnant and boring, and that will be it.


So we just disallow Koreans and crown paper champions?

OH LOOK! IDRA WINS MLG ANAHEIM! HE'S THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

If the Koreans aren't allowed to come, every champion will just be a paper champion that won't be considered the best because of the competition. If the foreigners want to get better, they need to play the best in the world.

I don't see why someone who dedicates his life to gaming won't go the extra mile to implement an extreme training schedule. I mean you are sacrificing your future for gaming, might as well give it your best.

I have already stated this numerous times in this thread.

KOREANS WILL NOT GET THE CODE A INVITE

Here are the rules of the MLG and GSL exchange.

Pro Circuit Players Competing in the GSL

- At MLG Columbus, the Top 3 non-Korean finishers will each be placed into GSL Code A.
- At every 2011 Pro Circuit Live Competition after MLG Columbus, GSL placement will occur as follows:
- Code S status will be awarded to the highest placing player, regardless of country of origin, who does not already have Code S status.
- Code A status will be awarded to the next three highest placing non-Korean players.
- If Code S status is awarded to a Korean player, Code A status also will be awarded to the 4th highest placing non-Korean player.
- All travel and accomodation expenses for these players will be provided by the GSL.

GSL Competing at the MLG Pro Circuit

- MLG will invite four Korean pro players to each Pro Circuit Live Competition.
- These players will be placed directly into the Championship Pools, one into each Pool.
- Their placement in the Pools will be determined by their GSL rank.
- All travel and accomodation expenses for these players will be provided by MLG.
- For MLG Columbus, we will also be inviting a player from the CSN tournament, currently in progress. This player will be seeded into the Open Bracket, and their travel and accomodation expenses will be covered by CSN.

Can the OP add this or something so people freaking get it?

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.


I don't think Starcraft is the sport for you. Maybe you should watch pro wrestling or something.
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

I can't believe people are complaining about MC being unsportsmanlike, that idea goes out the window when you match up vs Idra, simple as that. Idra behaves as he does and gets treated as such.

Yes because Idra has been SOOOO bad mannered in tournaments,yes...yes....


It's what he's done all his career that has ppl reacting to him the way they are now.

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)

i can't believe this



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.



That actually makes sense because I do know that the reason they are doing this exchange is to get more foreigners into Korea. They want foreigners to draw in more foreigner audiance which is a solid business move.

yes.. random koreans. they are random. july, mma, MC, and losira are random koreans. truly random.

Since I don't watch Korean SC2 in the middle of the night I have never heard of any of them. They don't stream, they don't do twitter, they are never on any of the SC2 shows, western viewers have no attachment to these players.

Some of us appreciate good play, and have an attachment to these players because of that.

Yes. Finals can also be a BO3 if the winner of this series goes 2-1 or 2-0.

Code S is above Code A, what for he would need being in code A? And they stated that if player got code A or S already they will offer code A to next player in standings.

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.

When one player plays good but the other does something really really really stupid, it's not really a good game. Sry.
