Absolutely nail-biting finish of an amazing Bo5 series!

Not much more to say. That was top notch entertainment!

Those were some very good games. I have never seen MC ever complement an opponent like it did Sen by saying he is a very strong player now and giving him the thumbs up. Its obvious MC really respects Sen and was very impressed by how good he was. I never knew Sen was that good but clearly he is a top tier zerg capable of beating the best korean pros right now.

so tomorrow is 3rd place and final? not a lot of games


MC and Sen are kind of tired out after the game.

It's better for the game to be tomorrow, player need to hit the best form.

And It is 2 Best of 7 anyway, It will probably worth the day


Live performance by temp0 too should be pretty good.

I think what he meant was "profiting". Is the NASL turning a profit from this season, aka can they continue business. Not obvious considering the sponsors are kinda small.

I can see that. But Losira, DRG and Nestea are all better than sen.


Clearly the best foreigner? Maybe the best foreign Zerg, but Huk has clearly established himself as the top foreigner at the moment.


I wouldn't go that far. Rember when Jinro was dominating...look what happened. This was also during when there was imbalanced maps. Lets stop making generalizations off a few tournaments. Sen could have been Code-S but he decided to stay in taiwan to help promote e-sports there.



Not saying he couldn't have made it to Code S but IIRC he only would have had enough points to qualify for Code A as, and again I might not be remembering this right, in GSL2 (or 3) he lost in the round of 32 to Nestea.

They probably lost money on this season, but made operating income. A ton of investment probably went into fixed costs, from the sound boards(the sound problem yesterday was apparently because a cable was defective) to the other equipment.

What was all of that about anyway? The sound was fine for me yesterday lol.

Hahaha, I wonder if we'll see an open bracket in the future because of this.

No wonder Koreans are joining foreign teams, this is easy money.

I really doubt that even MC would call that match easy.

No but GSL would mean more several matchups of that difficulty rather than having Koreans absolutely stomp 80% of their matches with no challenge until RO4-ish.

MC stomps most of his gsl opponents too. Offhand I can't think of a gsl match of his that was closer than this one.

Yeah but that's under completely different conditions (one week of dedicated practice for the matchup) and even then he doesn't really stomp them (as evidenced by his early round losses).

Early game Sen was playing amazing but the difference in skill between the two really showed in the late games as Sen kept making costly mistakes allowing MC to win

Wow when did NASL get so good all of a sudden? Yesterday was a car crash today its a Ferrari!


It's just by comparison, it looks great only because of how shitty yesterday was. Not saying they haven't improved but still the worse organized tournament I've ever witness in sc2.


Someone didn't get any hugs from their mom. The games were great, played on time, and they were streamed to everyone. I can think of several tournaments that didn't do that.

I can see that. But Losira, DRG and Nestea are all better than sen.


Clearly the best foreigner? Maybe the best foreign Zerg, but Huk has clearly established himself as the top foreigner at the moment.

No, huk isn't the best foreigner at all. I'd take dimaga/throzain/sen/naniwa/idra before huk because they've been much more consistent.


Idra consistent? Is that a joke?

Huk won Dreamhack, HSC3 and is doing fantastic in Code S. Yeah, what a sloppy, inconsistent player.

MC earned a lot of my respect with that thumbs-up at the end. Those were hard games for it, and I'm glad that he acknowledged Sen's skill.

Regardless of the results, those were some epic games. I'm a happy camper (though, again, I could be happier).

Can't believe I actually rely on a Terran whiping MC's butt... sad day for Zerg -.-

dude if anyone can take out mc there its a korean terran.

korean terrans are just scary as shit in general.


Yeah sure but the fact that I have to trust on Koriterrans because Zergs aren't able to handle it is a disgrace...


So Losira at MLG doesn't count for anything? Or the fact that MC is actually really good and the majority of the 16 spots were Zergs?
