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. -- updated 7:55 KST | ||

I'm not asking them to play Shpongle, but honestly any variation would be a relief. yea it's like the producers don't understand there is new music out now it's not 1990 anymore | ||

Did you just say that the series between MMA and LosirA was boring? And you call yourself a fan of Starcraft. That last game was amazingly exciting. | ||

Psst...they're playing in a tournament you're watching right now. Out of curiosity, what do you watch? IEM? Dreamhack? NASL? Stars Wars? Because there are Koreans in all of those. Clearly, you watch major tournaments and not just weeklies/small regionals, so then how have you missed all of the Koreans in western tournaments? | ||

Code A spots are ONLY for foreigners. There is no Code S spot for MLG Columbus it will start at the next MLG. Code S spots can be acquired by anyone winning the MLG no matter origin. Sad foreigners are sad. Koreans are better, we've had as much time with Sc2 as Korea yet foreigners are slacking and doing other shit like casting etc... focus on your game ffs why are you a progamer in the first place? Don't whine about race when we've seen time and time again any race can win a tournament, if you didn't win and you're a pro player it's your fault, Sc2 isn't at the level yet where people are playing perfect. Code B is much tougher than the Open bracket so Code A is valued higher than Championship pool not because of prize money but because of how good you need to be to compete there. And you don't even have to win Code A to get a chance at Code S where the most money/fame/glory is obtained (you can still stay in the GOM house I'm sure). Winning Ro32 in Code S is like same money as 4th place MLG. You can still participate in online tournaments, we've seen how well the Koreans do in NASL for example. You're a pro player sacrifices need to be made, no sacrifice no reward. GSL goes out of their way to schedule a break when big international LANs occur so you can attend those as well. Koreans seems to want to practice with foreigners from reading DoAs post on the subject. And once again when Koreans come to "our" events to take "our" money how are you gonna live of progaming now mr foreigners?!? Also go FXO you're all nerd ballers for taking that step. | ||

MMA has beaten july in this MLG, beaten sheth and previously beaten DRG, July in TL's and now taken out losira, I don't think his tvz skill is a fluke lol | ||

I second the idea of adding this to the top or at least the OP. They only win code A from this one and Koreans arn't eligible for those anyway. | ||

If a Korean wants to pay to come to an event and he wins I would support that and cheer him on. Also, as has been discussed, CODE A is the only thing available this tourny, and most all the pro's agree that Code A is a joke and they wouldn't even bother accepting. dude stop posting ur pathetic attitude | ||

You claim you only want to watch exciting games, yet you prefer to watch crappy white diamond players play over the best in the world (koreans)? What is it that you don't like about koreans then? You don't have to watch if you don't want. I'll sit here and enjoy the highest level of play possible. | ||

After the threat of banelings disappeared, MMA went in a sniped the pool; it was all downhill from there. Yeah I understand that but I was just mentioning that even the best player can make a simple game-breaking mistake like that and lose because hes under constant pressure of simultaneous harassment. | ||

You need more than 3 OC to make up for that. He was definitly behind, although probably not as much as the numbers suggests. | ||

MMA and MC especially. I really hope MMA wins though, I want him in code S! (winner gets it regardless of where hes from)
