| Forum Index > StarCraft 2 Tournaments |
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!

Sheth can actually win this whole tournament but in the last couple MLG's and Blizzard Invitation he screwed up his build order so playing on camera is bad for him. Now he won't forget his spawning pool. | ||

Seems Dig is top. EG is 2-0 over Liquid in matches, with only Sheth having won any games for them (2-0 vs moonan). Root, FXO, and RGN, only have one player reporting for them each, but I included them for fairness sake. Root doesn't exist anymore :o | ||

I don't root for players because of their skin color or their nationality (though I will be more interested in - say - swedish players, considering I'm norwegian) I don't have any problems with the better players winning.. it just seems to me that the western SC2 scene is becoming less and less vital the more Koreans show just how much better they are. As someone else pointed out, a tournament is inherently going to be less exciting when you know beforehand that the top finalists are going to be Korean? Why watch one-sided games with less skilled players when you can just go straight to the highest tier and watch the GSL? Why have western tournaments that will in the end only be lining the pockets of Korean players, when we can already observe the highest level of play elsewhere? To say its going to be a korean final means you are counting out top foreigners like huk/idra/naniwa.. The truth is most people want to watch the best games with the best strategies used and koreans are good because they practice a lot, if you have a problem with this then donate to your favourite foreign team so they can setup a proper team house with good coaching, the fact is koreans are more entertaining to watch.. Without koreans the competition is much lower level and less exciting, why would anyone watch MLG knowing that korean code A players are better than the players participating in MLG? Koreans are essential for the people watching who are interested in high level play.. I guess some people like you don't mind watching mediocre games with average players as long as a foreigner wins? sad. | ||

Sheth and we just watch the game from sheths point of view dont understand why theyd give a casting break to both tastosis + dayhusk at the same time, no one can watch 2 games at the same time.. now would be the perfect time to have 1 team casting a match while the other takes a break | ||

Sheth and we just watch the game from sheths point of view Or software/hardware where they can just broadcast a first-person view of one of the computers on that little stage, instead of trying to sorta see it from the camera's POV. | ||
