Obligatory public note for all large tournament threads: The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans: 1. Whining about stream 2. Bashing other games 3. Flaming other users 4. Bashing players 5. Complaining about imbalance. It is in no way complete. Keep in mind that there's a difference between pointing out that the SC2 and CoD streams were switched and whining about it (same thing on pointing out/asking about stream lag and whining about it, etc.). Also, just because you post something and aren't immediately banned for it doesn't mean you won't get caught. We'll be going through this thread very carefully. That being said, enjoy today's games!

You cant disregard actual resluts in favor of mathematics simply cause the results doesnt account for the skillvl of the players. Id say it does just that alot better then math does since math does so not at all. To account for gameplay we though need to do some asumptions, most of all we must asume that the top tier of each race has close to the same skillpotential. I dont think this is far fetched at all. Its pretty damn likely to be the fact considering most players actually tried out all races before deciding. Math leaves a TON of things out that are 100% necessery to bring to the table in these discussions. Id say that math is the absolute worst way of all to use to look into SC2 balance. Sure, what you adjust to balance the game are pure numbers but how you actually come to the conclusion that these things are unbalance are purely based on how they actually play out. I will leave this now and you should take further complaints to the real balance threads and not in the LR threads. and if you do so please actually back your claims up with the magical numbers you claim to have. I have yet to seen an actual fact from you. And I to urge you to play terran against a mutalisking zerg to see how incredibly hard it can be to defend against it while not being utterly outmacroed. Sure, my Z is better then my T but I definitly think harassing with mutas is way easier then defending against the same. This is where you are wrong and even admit it: Assuming that each race has the same skill potential has not been proven, and there can definitely be arguments made both for and against that statement. | ||

Yeah, it hasn't been proven that each race has the same skill potential, but that doesn't mean shit because once again... it hasn't been proven that each race has the same skill potential or different skill potential. You're not making any real argument, you've just been saying random shit and saying you have math and statistics to back you up but I guess they're super top secret statistics. Your approach to the game is your problem, units aren't always directly comparable which is why approaching it from a gameplay and situational perspective, with numbers thrown in here and there makes more sense, and this is what Blizzard does, and this is why I sit here and enjoy what appears to be a fair game. Now, if you think it's unfair, go to the designated balance discussion thread and explain why instead of pretending you have some masterful insight that you're sitting on. | ||

That's what they did in the past MLGs so I assume it will be the same.Is there any way of knowing which stream a specific bracket match will be on, or what time? I know they start at 11 (10 my time) and am hoping to catch the KawaiiRice match. Anyone know which stream its going to be on, or is it yet to be determined. Thanks. GLHF | ||

Idra played those games masterfully from start to finish, dominated the map, and lost to some scumbag who could build barracks and hit A. At first I was like "yeaaaah trollin' them up". Then I lol'd. But then I also remembered the absurd stubborness of idra fanbois and I was sad for you. | ||

It stops after a bit of time and shows me an MLG icon. It's on all qualities (although it seems to stop faster on a higher quality). It cant be my internet, just made a speedtest and got 87 mbit on DL and 9 mbit on UL, so its fine and should be able to watch ultra w/o problems. | ||

If you have a subscription (I think you need one), you can go to mlgpro.com and skip forwards or backwards in the time bar. When todays broadcast starts, you will have to wait until after the tournament to get the VODs for yesterday. How to get a free silver subscription: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/jrkt4/hot_pockets_is_giving_away_free_one_month_silver/ | ||
