Non-invited koreans can get Code A pretty sure.

Cant believe theres so much hate in these threads while we're so blessed with a wonderful event, with wonderful games. Last warning, whine and insult the players or commentators? See you. | ||

I said that yesterday too, but seeing that Jinro nuke video, I think the... mics(?) aren't just as close to the crowd as at Columbus. That being said, booing a player is a huge thumbs down for me either way. | ||

Who cares if top 6 is korean they share the same passion we do. So the big thing im trying to say is: Why can't we all be "starcraft 2 players"? People root for their hometown players. You and a hundred other posters can pretend that logic and love of the game dictates who people want to win. It's just not true. Foreigners want to see foreigners do well. It's a big deal to a lot of people to see our own get completely shut out in brutal fashion. Well I for one, don't. Not until they invest the same amount of time and effort in the game as koreans do. HuK is close tho, others nope. | ||

Just thought TeamLiquid would like this screenshot I took of it, as it happened. May this moment go down as one of the truly great games of Starcraft 2 in history. | ||

I really wish people would stop acting like Korea is some magical land that pumps out talented players. You don't need to go to Korea to train and get better. All it is is diligent, smart practice and discussion. Not 3 hours a day, 1/3 of which is streaming ladder games. The notion that "it's all because of Korean training," is absurd. That kind of work/training ethic can be applied anywhere. I think you're saying exactly what other people are, too. | ||

On bigger maps where the Zerg has an easier time expanding and his counter attacks are much more of a threat, it's a different story. ![]() There's a reason MVP picked xel'naga | ||

I hardly hear this crowd, although I think there were more games at Columbus that were closer and easier to cheer for. Many of the initial/streamed games were 2-0 walk overs for the victors, hard to get enthusiastic for that type of game. Although these last matches have been great, still no reaction unfortunately... | ||

I waited all mlg for THIS match to learn some zerg tricks instead all i get is despair. zerg trick - #1 - make infestor... #2 - opponent types GG use it while you still can, before the next patch comes 1. Get infestors 2. Lose to macro terran with easy gold base, slow push tanks because you have 0 muta to pick units off or harass terran. 3. GG when you see ghosts. There is a reason NesTea gets bling/muta 99% of his TvZ before infestors. 1. Get mutas. 2. Kill some missile turrets and marines 3. Lose to macro terran who won before the "easy gold base" ever came up. Nestea's worst matchup is also ZvT. So is it your opinion that Infestors are superior to muta/ling/bling? Keep in mind, Nestea practices with MVP all the time, and is apparently still convinced that it is the other way around. I think if Nestea saw it as a viable option, he would use it. The way I see it, Muta/ling is better but it is still very difficult to win, and extremely difficult against someone as good as MVP. | ||

Official announcement(http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/mlg-and-the-gsl-create-groundbreaking-player-exchange-program) says "non-korean". Ofc no offense at all, please tell me if you're sure. I'm absolutely sure. MLG is wrong, GSL won't block those that came of their own accord. edit- rather than wrong, say used bad wording. | ||
