MLG bringing in more and more Koreans every time is slowly ruining the event and by that foreign esport. Who benefits from people losing interest and all the money going to Korea? Other then this I love MLG and the games where I can see my favorite players compete with great casting / production. Thank god, all major tournies started inviting Koreans. I simply don't watch when a tour is consisted only by foreigns. | ||

He's still one of the best zerg's in the world. The roach hydra thing though really wasn't good though, I will admit that. Because he lost those 4 games hard. Even though MMA lost like 20 marines to two banelings and killed his own CC. The only games he won were on Dual Sight, enough said. | ||

With the work they put in, it produces more predictable results, and that means the game is a lot more solid, has an ever expanding skill ceiling, and isn't as volatile in the early game as we may have thought 6 months ago. I'm considering making a good thread on why its a good sign for the game, and relating it to BroodWar, competitive play, and "bonjwa" status players- if I get the time. Yeah the less luck based this game is the better overall | ||

Yeah, I mean it's nice to cheer for your favorite players, but at the end of the day, you know they are still nothing compared to Koreans  . | ||

But because there are about a billion incredible Terran players in Korea, and Zerg have a few (ridiculously) good top tier players, DRG gets all the attention. For me, in Zerg rankings it goes Nestea, who is a long way above Losira, who is a long way above DRG. DRG isn't overrated so to speak, just a bit overhyped up for this tournament. MMA and DRG from what I've seen are pretty much equal in skill. MVP is just a whole step above DRG, but that's a given granted he's a 2 time gsl champ. | ||

DRG is really good, let it go. yea, that and the fact that DRG only loses to MMA in televised games. Has Nestea ever vsed MMA? No. What if nestea vsed mma, and got crushed by mma's multitasking, like how losira got owned by mma? We have yet to see a mma vs nestea, and if nestea got owned by oGsTOP, then he can definitely lose to MMA. | ||

Doing same thing all the time isn't a bad thing, and it's only going to be more normal as the metagame stabilizes. All this ground breaking innovation every month or two and people trying dozens of conceptually different strategies is going to wear off pretty soon. It's also the first reason why you can't put much faith in tournament results in first 1-2 years of SC2 to determine the most skilled players. DRG and MMA are both fundamentally good players, which so many players (even in Korea) that have had greater success and even won tournaments are just not, in comparison. They could both be in Code A/B for another year, but eventually they'll replace the stock of current Code S players who can't multitask or macro at a high enough level if their life depended on it. | ||

How Naniwa was eliminated was embarrassing, 1base void ray in first game and hidden gold expo in second. Usually this top tier players don't make such mistakes but for some reason they do against koreans. | ||

If he didn't barely lose his 3rd that hard contain game he would've won, Hydras made no sense, yeah, and MVP is a fucking beast. | ||
