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.

Well i am sure this has been mentioned, you are wrong and you are spreading rumors that are not true. go back and read and stop making these posts. NO ONE GETS CODE S AT THIS MLG *top 4 foreigners will get code A at this MLG though NEXT MLG, THE WINNER OF IT ALL GETS CODE S | ||

The GOM/MLG deal gives MLG winners auto-seeds into Code A/S (don't remember the exact details right at the moment), and both of those tournaments are far, far more competitive and difficult to perform in (or even get into) than MLG. GOM is doing the exact same thing for foreigners so you don't have a whole lot to complain about. Except for the part where the foreigners are gone for ONE MONTH. For one whole month they can't compete in any "westerner" tourneys/showmatches without lagging around everywhere. Where with the MLG, the Koreans are "out of action" for THREE DAYS, and even for those 3 days, the GSL stops, so they're not losing any other potential income. Which is why you've seen the best Koreans out there in July, MC, Losira, and MMA accept, where the best foreigners have already said "No I will not take the Code A ticket, to leave for 30 days." Even more so, when 4th place MLG attracts the same amount of prize money as first place Code A. So we have... 10 times the length, losing tourneys, for 1/3rd of the cash. Foreigners are getting 30 times less potential money per day, and they're getting treated better? | ||

Every single protoss right now is losing pretty easily to roach/ling pressure after fast expand, but MC seems to have figured it out, his stargate timing has been impeccable every time and he just... knows when the zerg is going to do the attack. I'm seriously having a hard time understanding how he does it. I don't even FE vs zerg ever now, since every time I do it I lose hahaha. I guess he just delays with the sentries and sim city long enough to get that voidray out if its not out already. If he can forcefield he'll lose minimal stuff while the voidray picks off the roaches which are the only threat. Stargate tech isn't useless even if they don't roach-ling all in because a couple voidrays and phoenixes can take complete map control, wipe out overlords, and pick off queens and hydras while dodging around spores until enough of them group together. Then you can transition into the colossi/voidray deathball but MC seems to prefer just stalker/4colossi. I also think it's very interesting he goes 3-0 against both terran and zerg even though a lot of people think armor is better versus terran. | ||

Putting the koreans in the open bracket would be a bad idea imho, they would simply destroy everyone, therefore crushing the hopes and dreams of dozens of innocent players. AND the casters are back! | ||

Regardless of who you think is better, I would say that I missed white-ra. He is undeniably a quality player who wasn't at MLG... just sayin' | ||

Any job include working at least 7 hours a day, progaming is no different. And progaming is like any other sport, the winner is usually the one who trains the most. But most foreigners don't have this mentality, they just want to be famous in the "esport world", and capitalize on this to make money by coaching and streaming. And if something must "destroy esports in the west" it will be this mindset, not the Koreans. I don't agree with everything you say on here but that's completely accurate. | ||

So they are boring to watch when they participate in tournaments you watch? Everybody want to see top tier standards in sports. I am disappointed with your attitude in trying to keep the Koreans away so foreigners can have an easier time. The only reason I am gluing myself to watching MLG is due to these Koreans. The standard of the games are so much higher. The competition is so much more tense. International events are event where top tier sportsman are invited. MLG is moving towards that. You can still have small events that promote the growth of esports. But any event looking to have an international standards need to include PROS from all over the world. Just like what GOM, MLG and dreamhack are doing. Events like IGN wont have good sponsorship, because they do not have enough international coverage. Even someone like me from SINGAPORE is watching MLG, why would sponsors want to sponsor small events like IGN proleague....... | ||

The skill gap between top zerg and the rest seems much wider than with Terran and Protoss. July only sucks in zvz... but in other match ups I would think his bit better then losira. Losira is pretty solid all around though. | ||

It is not "our scene" anymore like it was in BW. SC2 is global with Koreans and foreigners interacting alike. You seem to have a strong inferiority complex when it comes to Koreans and foreigners competing with each other. I feel like this is a bad Starcraft 2 version of the South Park "They took our jobs" skit. | ||
