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! (#)

Probably been playing with Destiny.


He doesn't believe in 3rds. He only likes to go for 2nd's. Doesn't want to get too full or else he cannot move. o-('.')-o creeping territory only!

This is a general question: Can someone explain why there are lowered observer depots at each ramp? Tastosis mentioned it was because of a Protoss player in the tournament, but I forget who. I assume it was due to cheesy offensive walling off the ramp on the low ground.

Which player was this, and are there replays anywhere where I can see what exactly they did to lead MLG to add this map feature?

Your vote: Better Player, Ret or NaDa?

(Vote): Ret
(Vote): Nada





Nada...for now.

So unconvincing lately, but still good enough to be considered all round stronger than Ret.


u sure? from wat i saw yesterday id give ret a 60-40 edge(skillwise)


I think all these skill comparisons are still way too shaky and volatile right now to make much sense. Ret was looking relatively mediocre for quite a while until he absolutely tore through the EU invitational, while Nada was looking extremely strong and a real contender for Code S until he got abolutely dismantled by Byun last season. Right now I would give a small edge to Ret, but that might very well change again soon.


i shit u not all the progamers predicted that ret would crush the blizzard eu before it happened, that was based off of his ingame skill that we saw from him in practice games and such.. we didnt base our decision off of tournaments results(if we used that logic than naniwa should have been the favorite)


Didn't you just call someone a troll for saying that's how he evaluated players(their in game play being more important than results, but not COMPLETELY ignoring results either).

I don't know why people consistently call Haypro a macro zerg when he doesn't even macro very well, even off two bases he's consistently floating a thousand plus minerals, imagine that roach bust with 500 minerals of zerglings included.

This is sad how MLG choose bad game to put on stream today We've miss Ret vs Puma and now Hero vs Slush instead we've watch idra vs nobeless and haypro vs bomber when we knew it was going to be one sided

it prevents bunker/cannon offensive walls
and it disallows terrans from depot/barracks walling, because it made scouting way too difficult/the 11 rax 12 rax 13 rax allin way too strong

So what do you think determines those tournament results? Luck? Maybe once in a while a player will over-perform or under-perform, but over time, you get a pretty accurate view of who's performing consistently. You can't make a serious argument about Ret being better than Nada when Nada is clearly performing consistently well in the most competitive league in the world. That's not to say that Ret wouldn't be able to take a series off Nada, but he just doesn't have the results that would suggest that he is better yet.

Talking about "in-game skill" is pretty much the same as saying "my opinion based on absolutely nothing concrete" since there's no direct way to measure it. Also, you can have all of the "in-game skill" in the world, but if that's not translating into wins in those tournaments, then it's still meaningless.


On the day a person can either bring their A game or they don't. So it's hard to tell just how good someone is potentially just based on results alone.

This is why roach/bane builds are awful, and good zergs go muta.
