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

That's kinda indefensible, man(?). Idra failed pretty hard. No one to blame but himself.
Does anyone know what the final rankings are, and which players will be in pools for the next MLG?
Also, are the Koreans invited on a revolving door basis? Or will the 4 invitees (MMA, LosirA, MC, Moon) have a guaranteed spot at the next MLG due to their high rank at Columbus?

Is it possible to lead a balanced lifestyle AND be as good as the Koreans are? I'm not so sure.
I do not think it is as bad as you make it out to be.
it's hard to lead a balanced life & be that good, because those who take it seriously that IS their life. Same with music (especially music). You need to practice & study SO hard. It's not as bad as you make it out only because they WANT to do it. They know that's what it takes to be the best of the best and it helps that progamers are revered in Korea
I'm sure lots of even mediocre foreign pros probably dont have near a "balanced" life either.
Seriously, Idra's gg in g1 vs MMA was disgusting. As a zerg player I'm ashamed he is supposed to be the champion of our race. Fucking horrible attitude. He doesn't deserve to be a pro. Never have I seen an SC1 pro EVER gg out of a game like that. Never would they just fking gg while they still had 4 bases + army. Just wth.

Give it a rest. Are you a champion pro player? No. You cant imagine the amount of pressure these guys have to deal with on the big stage. In addition to that Idra is a human being with flaws just like anyone else. Obviously Idra has some rage quit issues that he needs to still work out, but cutting him up like that does nothing but make you look bad. Idra is one of the best, he just happens to have made a big mistake. Dont think Idra isnt beating himself up over this one, because I can garuntee you he already feels bad enough already without the community pouncing on him over this.

Even with his silly choices in a few games, he still performed really well in the standings. I don't think he needs any defending.

You must not understand the concept of spectator sports. I suggest you learn the concept then comment. You act like this was a game of pickup basketball and I should stop bashing on your buddy who missed the game-winning shot. You couldn't be more wrong.
And why do you talk about pressure? Is that a joke? Do you think with a name like Storkhwaiting I haven't rooted for a player who has choked under pressure? You know what the difference is between Stork and Idra? Why I'm still a Stork fan while I can't stand Idra anymore?
It's because Stork, as well as pretty much every other SC1 pro worth talking about, has lost games before due to pressure but they have NEVER EVER just fucking gged out of a game while they still had 4 bases + army. NEVER.
