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. |

IdrA vs cruncher was an awful series...

So so confuse. When are the finals?

He's practicing Korean style. Not saying he's "Korean", but if anything HuK proves that foreigners can be as good as Koreans if they're willing to train like them- all day err' day, and with other top tier players.

No man, IdrA didn't accept Cruncher's handshake what a SICK DISS YO THAT'S PERSONALITY!
How about Tyler? All I saw Tyler do was beat randoms and then lose as soon as he faced real pros.

Are you serious? Most of the Koreans are just clones of White-Ra - well mannered guys who can all come up with cute one-liners.
Seriously, the stuff MMA/MC did at the last MLG had way more personality than anything from the foreigners (the kamehameha, the throat-slashing, etc.). Btw, you must have missed MMA destroying his CC in his first game against DRG.
MVP is basically a younger Korean White-Ra: nice, endearing, and well-mannered. Sure, he might not give vodka to guys he meets, but he's also only 20 years old.
Edit: see, the biggest difference isn't anything else, it's the language barrier. Personality, unless of the physical antics variety a la MC, doesn't come off in translations.

Just sad that there were some awesome games this weekend but people found it boring because their favorite potty-mouth didn't do well. Why do you think it has to be drama? Why can't it just be the Koreans messing around with foreigners similarly to how MC does it? I'm going to say something, and I hope I won't get flamed for it simply because people interpret it as "offensive". Look, Koreans are great. They are entertaining pro gamers that I LOVE watching for the amount of skill displayed(although mirror match ups get tiresome after a while, but that would happen regardless of who is playing). But frankly, I feel that some of the foreigners get the feeling that the Koreans are all just "we play for keeps, not for fun, we will crush you!". And frankly, when you don't get to see something like how MC/MMA messed with Idra at Columbus, I think that feeling becomes more believable. *flame shield up*
they come from the other side of the world
they cant speak english
they cant give the drama u want
they were invited, payed, hoped to win games
not to bad mouthing other player
they didnt BM to respect different culture they're having in the live tournament
there's always exception like MC
boxer also did his funny waving hand celebration after he beat idra
but get bored after the next no effort wins he get

But the act before it built up the hype. Thats what I'm getting at.
It made me relive their TSL series.

Majority of people agree, good players = entertaining games. Foreigners gotta step up their game, show us good play and interesting new builds, and strategies. Ignore the trolls that say how it's boring because Koreans dominated, they're a minority on TL.

Does MMA get seeded into this coming GSL(August)? Or into October? Anyone know?

So when are the GSL code S drawings?

There was no hype at all for that series. It was angry nerd #1 vs bad angry nerd #2. Their TSL series was shit, so was this one.
You seem to be a guy who loves to watch drama, I recommend WWE

How can people say the Koreans didn't have personality? Boxer was grinning ear to ear after he beat rain, MVP looked very happy when he won. People say MC has personality; the truth is MC speaks some broken english.
The language barrier breaks almost all attempts at displaying a personality. Have any of you ever been on a stage in front of thousands of people and all 1 person speaks the same language as you(the translator)? I suggest you watch the facial features and the hands of the koreans as they are given interviews, it shows most of them are brimming with emotion.
And besides, so far I have seen 3 specific names given out of people that have "personality" among dozens of people we saw in pool play and championship brackets, while there was a total of 8 Koreans. Those are the guys that the oddballs, not the norm.

Hand waving? Girl group dance celebrations are back! T-ara baby lol.
And DRG was pretty much the same as White-Ra without the foreigner history. Good player who's super polite, speaks semi-decent English and wins the crowd over like that.

That's basically it. Convince all of these Koreans to speak their broken English more, and suddenly, in the eyes of these complainers, they'll have more "personality."
