NASL has a private investor(s) backing them
it's obvious they are going to have a Season 2
when NASL was first announced, it was stated that funding for at least 3 seasons was secured

MC outplayed sen, Sen got nervous and made a few hasty decisions that lost him the game. both player played brilliantly, but MC had to make soo many very tough decision in that game. He HAD to delay his gold expo on meta, he made incredible descision on when to attack and a incredibly smart void switch on terminus. So many good decisions by MC. MC was moments away from losing it all at many points but he made the correct descisions every time. The first two loses, was because he was unprepared to deal with that relatively new style sen showed.
Ps: I must be ahead of the curve meta game wise, because I do the exact same thing sen did, in most those games, However, Sen did alot of things I didn't think about, spine crawler walls, brilliant :D
yeah MC made tons of very gutsy and steady decisions under incredible pressure. He sure knows how to snatch wins from impossible situations.
Also I think he is just godly in every engagement. This is where Sen was clearly lacking against MC. MC's every battle was phenomenal and impressive. No wonder people call him Kratoss Protoss because he really is becoming a new god of war.

It's kind of a bad term, but basically he's a product of the Korean practise environment, where starcraft has a much better base than in the west. That's why by many he's no longer considered a foreigner. The whole foreigner thing is not about race, it's about being able to be good without having the same awesome stepping stones as Koreans do. Kind of like a rooky team vs a pro team.

Truly exciting games today, especially MC vs Sen. Holy crap, Sen had him on the ropes so bad... totally slipped twice and MC was there to capitalize on the mistakes. WP.

You are nuts if you're saying huk is less consistent than those players as of late. lol what, consistency isn't about "as of late." It's about a body of work and not just "what have you done for me lately."

Did I say it was easy? If you think learning any foreign language you have zero exposure to is easy, then by all means go pick up German, Italian, Latin, whatever and see how 'easy' it is. I said all languages are tough and take time.

NASL is loving MC and sen right now. Nothing like some really good games to help everyone forget about all the other issues. Hopefully they can go off this momentum they have and finish strong tomorrow with more good games and not a lot of problems.

You know Ive seen this elsewhere but I know Japanese is not very hard to learn.
The entire language rests on what? 43 syllables was it? English alphabet alone is 26. Im told once all 43 syllables are learned its just a memory game.
Writing it though? Forget it, Asian literacy for there own languages is terrible so I have no chance on earth.

You have the best Protoss in the world arguable facing a good Zerg but who isn't the same skill level as him, but MC still had some tough games and should have lost if Sen didn't make so many Broods, yet you passively cry about balance? Imagine if that was NesTea or DRG playing, MC would have got rolled. ZvP feels like its favored towards Zerg, the best Toss right now shouldn't be sweating it against anyone other than the best Zergs really
