Either you work or you sleep. Well DreamHack wasn't exactly at a great time for people in the US... You run into this problem no matter what. Someone in some time zone is always going to be screwed.
Exactly it seems in every thread theres someone moaning about how x continent has better timezones when really it just depends on the event so we are all equally screwed! :D

4 hours is quite a lot of time, not saying ur statement was wrong, but ur time was way off so i corrected it. SORRY! it only helps ur argument if anything.

MC is arrogant. Being arrogant means you can back up what you say, and he backs up his predictions for wins at least half the time if not more. He has a right to be arrogant.
Most people don't find humble to be too interesting, and it isn't like MC bad manners players. He just expects to win, which is a great attitude to have for a champion.

I'm not sure how the systems differ, but in the U.S. you can get a BS by attending extra lab courses. Either way, saying you have a "BS" is like saying you have a certification. The title means little without some clarification. In all honesty I doubt she has a BS and I also doubt she got a 4.0. She probably lied on her resume to make herself look more impressive. If she really preformed that well in college you'd think she would at least mention what her actual major was and what college she attended.

They're playing a video game, not having a samurai battle. And MC displays confidence, not arrogance. He shows respect to a lot of players such as Huk and Naniwa.

Huk can warp in gaming gear any where around the world.

While I don't like how arrogant he is, I definitely agree that it's a lot more interesting, and what makes him one of the Korean players I like to watch. For example, I have no hype for Puma in the next match since I haven't seen any personality from him. He has the opportunity to prove me wrong, but I haven't seen anything yet.

You realize that MC does that for show, right? The arrogance, I mean. He's confirmed this so many times by now. Please don't just judge him on what he does to generate hype. Just ask Milkis - he met MC personally and wrote about how he's a cool guy whose supposed arrogance is pretty much an act.

Well if MC had more western culture, I'd say he was using satire. But his behavior around the camera may stem from the globally conceived stereotype that Americans are arrogant and idolize arrogance, so he's playing to that. And he's getting positive feedback from the western audience, apparently.
Honestly, I do think he's exaggerating. He's got to have a decent level of humility to survive socially in his eastern home.

GSL is my favourite. I can have a lie in and wake up to watch the matches while I eat my breakfast.
We can't win them all though, events happen in 3 main areas of the world, and for each event at least 1 other area generally gets really bad times. A rebroadcast would have been nice though, I don't think I'll manage to stay awake to watch both semi finals.

Why do you feel the need to say she didn't actually get a 4.0 in a BS at a legit university? She was the runner up in Miss Cali. She is probably a very accomplished young woman. I just don't understand why you are trying to diminish someone you have never met.

pretty sure it's only you. Do you SERIOUSLY think he's acting that way cause he's full of himself? It's fan service and weaves a personality around himself

Well when every other Korean pro is extremely humble it's a nice change of pace.

Exactly why he's the biggest SC2 celebrity.
