Love how many experts there are at talking to foreigners. Clearly you are more knowledgable about it than Rachel who has spent a ton of time talking to koreans who have very little english. Or huk, who lives with them.

As someone who spent a lot of time talkign to koreans in brood war, the simpler I made what I said the more likely they were to understand. As someone who has a brain, it also seems obvious to me that this would be the case anyways.

yea of course. her only fault was using the word "counter" in the beginning since i've never played with koreans who know what that word means, and I wasn't surprised to see Mc say "what?"

I think Rachel is by far the best interviewer at the event.

According to the OP, semis in 3 1/2 hours, but I believe the pic posted is correct, semis in 1 1/2 hours. Wouldn't make sense to delay them that long. However, terrible terrible move by NASL not to post the exact time on the stream or ANYWHERE on their website. It's honestly a joke to me that we have to find out the time from rumors and guesstimates.

But hey, it's not like it's the semifinals of a $100,000 tournament or anything.


Taken from the NASL website. It's been up for over a month.

Thanks, I did NOT find that anywhere though

After he started a 3rd base, he added 3 gates and 2 stargates all at once.


Felt like MC was just screwing around with the phoenixes, give the crowd something to oogle at.

He could have chrono'd out 10 warp prisms out of 2 robos and still have won that game.

Now you're pushing it.

To all the haters, interviewer did the right thing by speaking "broken English". I mean, really, have you never had to do an oral exam in a university language class? If you're not fluent, you want them to speak slowly and accentuate key words in the sentence. English might be a "slower" language than say, Spanish or Chinese or what have you, but the concepts still apply.


You want to use full sentences because, believe it or not, that's what people are familiar with when learning another language - not a broken version of it. Add to that MC almost certainly has better comprehension of English than speaking ability, it's pretty patronizing.

He is brilliant though; it's damn hard to be funny in another language. He pulled it off with bells on.


I fully disagree with that. I have alot of relatives who speak pretty poor English (being Chinese) and you really do have to speak slowly and emphasize key words for them to understand what you are saying. If you see some of the foreigners like Huk talk to the Koreans, its about the same.

I also wouldn't say she was being "patronizing" too but MC's responses were pretty funny.

Don't talk to him like he's a baby.



Have you ever listened to HuK talk to MC? Its the exact same. You have to talk slowly and simply for him to understand you without a translator.

They could've easily pulled Select out of the booth to translate, although I'm sure he probably wouldn't feel like going up there after just losing.



Have you ever listened TotalBiscuit or ToD talking to MC ?

He doesn't need to be talked to like a children, you have to choose your words and use short sentences but not like that.

I found it pretty sad.


K. I'll restate it again.

Have you heard HuK, possibly one of MC's closest friends, roommates, teammates, talk to MC? It's very similar to how Seltzer did it. Why make it harder for him when you don't have to?

What she did is the easiest way for him to understand you. Its not belittling, its not patronizing. He clearly didn't understand her first question. She clarified and the interview progressed onward. Sorry you found it sad that someone tried to make themselves more understandable to someone from a foreign country.

LOL patronizing man are you serious?????????? You really think she was trying to patronize him? How the fuck is everyone supposed to know how to speak with someone who doesn't know much english?


She could of spoken A LOT LOUDER!


And if that doesn't work, just smash the place up!

She wanted to know if he was worried about the timing attack. She asked normally first of all and he didn't understand. That was when she switched to Konglish.

I thought it was clear - he went DT, did everything he could to conceal it, and when his DT gets there the base has just been walled off with a bunker and missile turret.
