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!

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

Not that it's at all related to my previous post, but that must be a really dull existence. Do you support the best football team because they're the best at football? Cheering for the underdog is what sport is all about. If you're missing out on that, I feel for you.

Artosis loses nerd cred every time he says 'Dee Arr Gee' instead of DongRaeGu, it's such an awesome name to hear!

Its quite difficult to say DongRaeGu at every moment of the game. I don't mind him saying DRG just for conciseness.

DongRaeGu has the same number of syllables as DRG...

love all the hate for EG, youll see when top 8 has 3 EG players in it. One match per player doesnt determine anything

Puma and Huk I can see ending up top 8, but I'm not so sure about Demuslim. I'd say 1 or 2 EG players in top 8.

IdrA is most definitely capable of getting top 8 as well.

He should be able to finish second in his pool, also depending heavily on who comes up from the open bracket. After that he isn't going to have to be playing Machine anymore.

The guy's in a slump. Don''t be surprised when he loses to HayprO. It's going to be really close.

What fucking slump is he in?

People have been saying this forever, what was his high point? His performance seems pretty consistently inconsistent to me for the past however many months. He's not suddenly not playing at his peak, this has been his form for a while, it's just everyone else is getting better and he doesn't seem to be doing the same.

Everyone else isn't getting better. The fact they pull a single tourney win every now and then, when no koreans are present, doesn't mean they are doing amazingly better.

Do you think Morrow, Stephano or Dimaga or Nerchio would do better?

The correct answer is no.

Sen at most would do well, but he plays on the Korean servers, so it's logical.

Tons of pros ladder either exclusively or a ton on KR server... off the top of my head drewbie and Kawaiirice do it and (even though I like both of them) they're not taking series in massive LANs against koreans despite having good records on the KR ladder.

What are their ranks? Are they top masters or grandmasters? If not, then they probably aren't facing the pro gamers and if they are, they are the pro gamers that for sure are goofing off on ladder (like nestea, with his glamorous <50% win rate).

Yes they are top masters. Hell even I'm masters on KR and I'm just mid-high masters on EU.

Good god I made the mistake of clicking Show nested quote + there. I'm going to cry in a corner now.
