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!

Lee Yoon Yeol Fuck Yeah. I'm rooting for Nada to take the whole tournament, though it does suck that I have to root against Ret.

Ret surely didn't know that. To be honest NaDa might be the on ly one to do that.

MC definitely should nerf terran.

Koreans are better. They always have been. The BW scene was so Korean-centric that the entire rest of the world is referred to as foreign. It's not fucking hard to see why it is perceived as Korea vs The World. Even if SC2 is international, Koreans are still so different, so separate in skill and set up, that it is still Koreans vs Foreigners. I'm sorry but it just fucking is. If you support players based purely on skill/race/style fine, good for you, but don't assume that's the only reason to support someone and don't fucking call people who disagree with you racists. You can't delete the entire history of SC culture. This is a completely different game from Brood War and I doubt 99% of the people lamenting about Koreans don't even care about Brood War. They're not that separate in skill, Huk does okay in GSL and loses hard in other LANs pretty often, Sjow always takes a game off Koreans, MC has lost to Huk and Naniwa in Homestory Cup, Nada has lost to Mana/Elfi/Kiwikaki 2-0, etc. WhiteRa went 3-2 with MC in the Dreamhack Invitational around the time MC was considered to be at his peak. Even in a lot of MLG games there are obvious points where a foreigner could have won the game but he threw it away. This isn't a game where almost nobody would ever take a game off a Korean b-teamer. BW history still highly relevant and influential. I don't see how you can deny that.

Poor Ret, not sure if his tiredness (not to mention Nada himself) will prevent Ret from mounting a comeback.

If there is anyway of getting a job out of making LR threads, that would be it.
So many players need to watch more SC2 and take notes >.>

You can't delete the entire history of SC culture. It's the korean culture/infrastructure, not so much the fact of "being korean" that makes them better. Kind of an important difference. I know that. My basic point is, if Koreans hadn't owned everyone for over a decade, no one would cheer just because a Swede/American/Dutchman beat a Korean. It has nothing, nothing to do with race.
That's a very important detail that most people fail to recognize. This needs to be pointed out more often, in my opinion, because even though most people know this is true if you'd ask them, it's not something they consciously think about often, while frequently talking about how much better Koreans are.

Destructible rocks at a third make me a sad zerg. I guess that's why I don't play MLG TA.
