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 |

1) The players are not in a sound proof environment and can hear the casters.
2) There is not an MLG observer in the game that the casters can even use to watch the game live.
3) The computers they are on, are not hooked up to any of the streams.
Seriously, we should all be grateful for all that MLG has given us already. Are the main stage computers being used so they cant move into the booths? Moving takes quite a bit of time and the tournament needs to run on time.
And the players don't deserve to get moved, setting up again, during an important match.
Don't be so fucking selfish people.

No, it's the other way around. People supporting the extended series only sees it as a series between just those two players, and not taking into account the tournament as a whole. If you were really looking at the bigger picture, you would of realized that both players got to the loser's by winning and losing the same number of series in the tournament as a whole.
Extended series just doesn't make sense for RTS. You realize how hard it is to win 4/5 against an evenly matched opponent?

Game 1: Idra had a slight lead going up to 4 bases (with 1 gold) around the midgame not taking much harassment damage and picking off a full medivac. MMA was floating his 3rd OC to the gold. MMA attempts to destroy the rocks at the gold but misclicks. All his siegetanks fire at his own OC and kills it in less than 5 seconds.
Idra pushes with a huge muta ball support by some blings and lings and at the end of the battle there only tanks and the huge muta ball remains. Day9 remarks that Idra was in a huge lead (and he was), and just as he says that Idra ggs.
Game 2: Idra fights of a 2 rax push killing all the marines and SCVs. Overdrones and loses to a 4 rax timing.

Can't beleive MLG misses the mega hype viewer building fan creating opportunity that is Thorzain vs MC, with Thorzain potential come back ><

if thorzain wins..
thorzain v idra 2-0
holy shi-
Assuming ThorZain gets through Moon and Naniwa, both fantastic players. I don't think his chances would be too high, but we'll see.

WOOO thorzain is 2-3 right now

Is July in the loser's bracket or eliminated?

Watching a replay of a game we know the result of instead of THE REMATCH OF THE REMATCH OF THORZAIN AND MC. WHY MLG. WHY. Because players can see/hear the casters. Guys, read the thread. Seriously.
We know that, but that's not the point.
The point is WHY the hell THE most anticipated match is not a main stage booth match? You guys can be as apologetic towards MLG as you want, but if the Wimbledon Finals were to be played at court 3 while at the same time the third place match were to be played on the centre court and broadcast instead of the finals, everyone would be up in arms about the poor organization of the tournament.
UTTER FAIL MLG!

I'm pretty certain he thought MMA took another 3rd and was setting up his fourth base there. If the Terran sets up a 4th in that position even with turrets and slow pushes you - you are dead.
You can't blame IdrA that he didn't think off MMA destroying his own command center and leaving the game when he thought he couldn't stand the Terran reinforcements or the push that would come after the big fight. Obviously you can argue about his attitude leaving a game early when its not 100% over, but in his head, he just wants to get it over with (I assume) and leaves the game when HE is certain that he lost without wasting his time and energy to come back in a lost game.
I also think it was a mistake to leave the game in that position, but I can clearly understand on what he based the decision and don't insult him for that. Actually I think you guys insult and blame him because you are upset - but he is the person that will probably facepalm and bite his own ass when he saw the replay.. so give the man some credit for his amazing play instead.
Just play till the end. It's happened too many times to just "appreciate" him for his play instead. The best professional athletes don't stop trying just because there are getting beat badly.

I also love how they spoil it on stream, so if you didn't see the results or the games, well, now you have!
