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 | ||

One question I'm wondering is if the same players will choose to come back, while an additional 4 get invited. Then there will be anywhere from 5-10 Koreans playing, and maybe some others too. Naturally they will start filling up all the top spots. Ofc eventually the number of Koreans who choose to come will level out as they see each other as a threat for the top spot, but the equilibrium number will probably be like 10~15 Koreans. Will see what happens :D | ||

when watching the first 3 matches, I had a feeling that idrA purposedly cheesed for a 50-50 quick win chance or failing that, to at least eliminate his unvafoured maps since its loser choose map. He was serious on the 4th map since its Z favoured but got caught off guard by the DTs | ||

Will see what happens :D Doubtful, MLG will only be paying for 4 or so Korean's expenses each time. Therefore, if the others want to come, they would probably have to pay for their own expenses or their sponsors/team will. Which isn't really worth it considering even if you win the whole MLG, you only get 5k, while plane tickets + hotel + food is probably most of that. | ||

Sucked to see MC's stargate build get figured out by the end, but I think that was up to him to not keep on adapting. The switch to DT play in game 2 was really cool, and he should have kept switching things around. Got too predictable by the end there, and Losira hard countered him. They both knew it at that point. lol you gotta give us some time... these translations are not instanteneous you know... I started working on this as soon as I read it, but when I was done the thread had grown by 10 pages. | ||

Doubt it, 7 of the top 12 were Zerg. 4 of those zergs were eliminated by ZvZ (yeah, they really had that many in a row) Of those zergs... 3 were Korean, 2 were Liquid, 1 was Idra, and the other was Slush. | ||

The MLG format is just brutal for those that do not come top in their group. why should they not be seeded? it makes no sense. they are clearly the best at the moment, therefore they should be seeded to increase the chance of having two talented players in the finals. | ||

I'll admit I was a bit disappointed he didn't mention the venue or fans a bit more. Whatever, he's still my favorite player! | ||

If you watched Idra enough you won't be surprise by what he did in his extended series vs Idra. If I recall correctly Idra did this kind of move many times in the past. Incontrol talked about this in one episode of SoTG. Idra has great mechanic, but always seems to crumble to balance between races and give out weird decision when hes under pressure. | ||
