Amazing how MMA always just comes back after being behind most of the game.

Tbh it was less MMA winning than Losira throwing away games by attacking at the worst times, and in my opinion, staying on ling blin too long when working towards a muta flock or infestor blob is a much stronger option against marine tank. Oh well, at least MC should be able to take this tournament, seeing as how MMA got taken out by Huk.

Completely agree with this. This guy is a legend in the making.

Yep. His TvZ shows quality beyond what anyone else has shown. He truly maximizes the potential of his units in a unique and insanely skillful way ^_^

Interesting that Losira didn't make any infestors that game.

Is the lag caused by battle net or the MLG network?

Its caused because 2 people playing 5 meters away from each other have to connect to an external online network instead of using a LAN protocol (invented in 1976)

this second game was VERY VERY GOOD, sc2 quality is getting better all the time, can't wait for it to get to an BW status, hopefully "foreigners" will be able to keep up this time.

So sad that there won't be a State of the Game show to wrap this tournament up. So many stories and most of all - Korean domination to discuss. Sure, some Europeans weren't there (WhiteRa etc) but honestly, these aren't exactly the top Koreans either.

Will we see the same thing happen at Dreamhack in two weeks? I think so.

Would have LOVED to have a SotG on this where the pros themselves can speak on the matter.

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.

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

gtfo

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.

Then don't watch?

What do you want? Not let them play because they're better than the players you know? Let Idra win the tournament because he is someone you know?

And Koreans do stream. They do do twitter. Not your fault you don't follow them.

Not in english.

Yes, I wish the biggest Western tournament would not invite any more Koreans. If they want to fly over and own the open bracket with their own money then go for it. But giving them free flight, free hotel, free placement, just so they can sweep the money and kill the western scene, that makes me angry.

Maybe they should take the game seriously if they want to consider themselves pros? The biggest tournament in Korea that has a $25000 monthly prize allows seeds into it from MLG, it is FULLY the fault of the foreigners that they simply are not good enough to take that prize.

LOL you really think foreigners dont take this seriously? ok, so it's either mimic korean's exactly or be called an amateur.

It is well known that prominen foreginer players don't practice as much as even they self feel they should.
Players who we know have admitted this:
- Liquid'Ret
- Liquid'Tyler
- EGiNcontroL
- EGIdra

This is like.. the top of the top of foregin SC2 scene...

I can see why, they are making more money streaming and goofing around in sotg etc than if they where just practising.
I understand that they need to get food on their tables and they really do alot for the esports but practise should be their no1 priority imo.

I really hope MMA wins... He needs to be in code S.

- 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.

Baneling nest snipe into a push. Worked twice!

I always do that vs zerg.

Really helps to stop those zerg reinforcements.

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.

bitter foreigner much?

you're a fucking racist.

he absolutely is.

It's not racist to only be interested in watching players you know.

I don't care about watching barcelona vs real madrid in the champions league, but as soon as a british team's involved I will watch!

No he is racist. If Koreans were considered a "white race" he'd have no problem with it.

His whining comes down to racist under the guise of all his other bullshit he's spouting.

Oh and also players he knows? this is a global game, anybody who follows sc2, knows alot of korean players. please.

It's not racist, I care much less for the Koreans, not because they are Koreans but because they don't participate in any tournaments I watch. This means that I neither love not hate them and thus their games become boring to watch, no emotions at all from my side.

I am unfortunately not a big enough Starcraft fan to watch games just because the player who plays them is good, I'm mostly watching for excitement.

If you're not watching the SC2 scene with the highest skill level (Korean scene), then it's your loss. Don't bitch about non-Koreans being eliminated.
