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.

I want better players to do well so I cheer for them. I don't see many foreigners as better than their opponents.

I still believe in Demuslim tho, he seems to be in top form!
Desmuslim vs Beastyq a few days ago in EGMC was so terrible. One of the worst game I've ever seen. I don't have much expectation in Desmuslim after his broken arm tbh
I dunno, he's #1 grandmasters with a pretty beastly w/l ratio.

North American ladder is.. T_T
Yeah and he still has an 80%+ winrate on the Euro server. He went up like 70 spots in GM in about 3 hours the other day.

He's saving all his energy to win this GSL.
sorry to disturb but running around the world isnt equal to saving energy at least in my dictionary
Practicing all day on the NA ladder isn't going to do wonders. You have to be readjusting all the time and your practice partners are far more valuable than laddering.

Only person who uses Hydra's really well is IdrA with his hydra drop and hydra nydus push.
What? LOL!!
Idra started using the Hydra drop after July used it against MC on Terminus at Code S Finals. Idra started using Hydra Nydus play after Losira used it against MC on Taldarim at MLG.
Idra is NOT an innovative player.
Yea I think this is true actually, he said it himself in that interview with Carmac that he's not a particularly creative player....
Moon used hydras better than IdrA in IEM. In fact, he practically rode hydras to the finals in that tournament.

Sjow vs. Bomber or DRG vs. trickster?
DRG vs Trickster cause PvZ is a cooler matchup and I think DRG vs Trickster is a more interesting game in general. We all know bomber will completely crush Sjow with barely any effort.
Trickster looks really bad lately, while DRG is impressive. I think it's gonna be as onesided as sjow bomber, but yeah... a pvz is better than a TvT.

Agreed
Seems like they want the foreign scene to die, and only the top 20 or so foreigners who can afford it to go live in korea, and turn sc2 into BW2.0
They are probably the same people who criticized EG for buying their talent. Build your own players they said. That is exactly what the house is for dudes. Make up your mind!

LOLs. People can decide who to root for.
I mean, I like America, but that doesn't mean I have to root for the Phillies if they were facing the Japanese national team in baseball because I goddamn hate the Phillies.
