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

Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#)

Except that each time he has gone 0-5 he has beaten people in the Championship losers bracket to get enough points to continue. This is why he has remained for so long, in combination with his high finish in the first MLG. I don't dislike him, and he is clearly not up to the snuff of the average pool player, but he has continued to perform at a level just good enough to hang on.

Yeah, he has performed good enough to be allowed in pool play because the format is so bad. So with this system obviously he is considered good enough to stay in, but most people would probably disagree.

Stuff like that has to be annoying for any player, and he will get alot of flack for losing to this Trimaster guy.


Why? Trimaster took out Hwangsin.

Its all because of his 4th place finish. Which was only the case because there were so few top players. He placed decently in a really low level tournament, so now he plays in a really high level tournament. Its annoying and a huge buzz kill to watch him play. Kind of a blemish in MLG

Incontrol so sad, I think he made a mistake leaving NASL he could have had a lot more succes as a caster/cummunity figure. Also, he doesn't deserve pool play, is bad for the viewrs and is bad for him, he could vindicate himself a lot more in the open bracket asTyler does.

Once again TLO going for the Factory Expand, pulling guys out of gas.

Hero gets his second gas, follows up his Gateway with a Stargate.

According to http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_MLG_Pro_Circuit/Rankings InControl had 1060 ranking points before Raleigh, lowest ranked player in pool play is machine with 650 points. So there is no way InControl is out of pool play for next MLG. Just so everyone knows because there seems to be a lot of misconception about it.

Hope he can do better then.

How did he get so much seriously ?


Cuz the point system is broken. He got like 900 points for finishing 4th at MLG Dallas.

To be fair to whoever designed this system, it wasn't broken until mlg decided to start the korean exchange system, where in each mlg they bring a bunch of koreans that take the top points and don't come back. If all the previous koreans came in at once with all their points I think half the current pool would be ousted, but instead the points are mostly stagnant.

We've been watching Incontrol doing bad at the MLGs for around half a year now.
One more MLG?
That is just wrong.

Yeah, the format is terribad. I feel a bit bad for InControl though...

Very similar to game 2, Hero getting Phoenixes with 2 gates.

TLO getting a 2nd rax, 2nd gas, and a Ghost Academy.

So is incontrol finally going to be dropped from pool play after going 0-5 in yet another MLG?


no unless all of the qualified Koreans attend the next MLG.


It really illustrates how horrible MLG's pool system is. Not to bash Incontrol, I think he's an alright player. But his overall MLG record now is 17-39. When he got 4th place, he went 8-9, not even a winning record there. Should absolutely not be in pool play.


the only reason his in pool play is because the players who should be there didn't attend the event.
