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 | ||

The guy beat FruitDealer 2-0, Tyler 3-0, MC 3-2 and Kas 4-1 (in one of the greatest TvTs I've seen) and then in the finals against Naniwa he turned the result from 1-3 to 4-3. So the guy is basically a cinderella story. And people always root for the little guy. But seriously, Thorzain is insanely good, and the last foreign Terran. So that might also have to do with it. | ||

The extended series is just inheritely unfair to whoever lost first because it punishes this palyer TWICE for loosing. I wont go through the hassle to explain it to you, because it should actually be obvious. But just one thing, there is noone else in the whole world, no sc2 competion, no other sports competion, that uses this extended series rule besides MLG. Because it is just pure nonsense. If Thorzain won 2-1, then his head-to-head with MC would be 2-3, but Thorzain would advance. It punishes MC for winning first (exactly the opposite of what you said). That is the rationale for extended series. At least argue against the right thing. | ||

Would it not be better instead of previous bo3 score carrying on into bo7 the winner just start with 1 point in bo5? | ||

In every sport or competition, players or teams who have succeeded earlier like in a regular season either gets buys or home court BUT NEVER GAMES! NEVER! If a player won 2-0 earlier, let them pick maps, give them an edge, do not damage the matches by giving 1 player a 2-0 or 2-1 lead in games. this is not credible. Its a joke, a sham, ridiculous, bush league ect..... Please change this. It has already effected Thorzaim vs MC, and may effect idra vs MC later. STOP IT. YOUR RUINING YOUR TOURNAMENT. There is no regular season at MLG. Jeez, what is so hard to understand. Extended series like this is basically a bo7 played at different times. | ||
