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.

The crowd chanting "M M A" still has me choked up. Can't think of it without getting a little teary eyed. Imagine how overwhelming that must be, coming being received like that as a foreigner, not being a huge name (yet) with the expectation of not having a ton of fans overseas. That's so amazing.
MLG, along with all the players who came out, went above and beyond and did something truly unforgettable. Best of all, I can walk away feeling like I've witnessed the beginning of the next level of play.
Thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable event.
Also, a bit OT: What are the odds of getting some vague hints at stream numbers? I would kill to know whether or not there were over 75-100k.
I agree so much with this post. Thanks. And I think there was 100k+ viewers at some point.

lol, although the turnout was amazing for this MLG, they were amazed at how their 2000 seats werent enough. Most football fields hold around 70,000 people, little ways to go.

The only sad thing about this mlg was the fact that idra is still being handicapped by himself and only by himself ~_~

Also MMA will almost 100% be back.
Since MLG Anaheim is during Code S/Code A and MMA still isn't in Code S, he'll probably come over to keep his title, get some cash an get into Code S all in one swoop.

I hope you are kidding...IdrA had a code S spot which he forfeited to come to US.

Still NBA to watch for tonight, and after that only few hours and gsl :S

In a humble silver leaguer's opinion there wasn't actually as much between the top Europeans/NAs and the visiting Koreans. Thorzain in particular gave MC one hell of a fight in 6 games and looked to be fighting back in his series despite having to win 4 games on the trot, and I think he's just going to get better and better.
MMA however is something really special. What I really liked about the Korean play in general is that none of it was based on clever unit comps. It was just a bunch of units everyone builds used in a spectacular way. That last game, I felt like I was watching a tipping table and at any one point it was just going to collapse and crush one of the players.
Deserving winner. What a fantastic use of a weekend. Thanks MLG

Proleague Finals from a few years ago in Brood War had a crazy amount of fans.

This was the best MLG I have ever watched. My only real complaints have to do with the live stream, it would crash randomly at times and the volume change on the ads was very annoying.

Well obviously if this is the second longest thread ever....

I would have loved to see Thorzain beat MC so that we'd possibly have foreigner in the finals (after Idra forfeited in the championship bracket games), but I can't complain about those final two games. Fucking epic play by MMA, Boxer has got to be so proud!

Agree with everything you said and I'm also curious about the stream numbers. Does anyone know?
