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! (#)

Think haypro should have went for it when he denied bombers third. At the very least to cut down siege tank numbers.

As expected by Bomber, Hayder shouldn't be in the same league and his army control wasn't too great.

Just to imagine how Haypro would destroy me in a ladder game and still loses to Bomber in such a manner... sc2 has gone a long road

im kinda intrigued in getting ur opinions on who u think the better player is between ret and nada, nada did beat ret yesterday

Poll: Better Player, Ret or NaDa?

Nada (74)

Ret (40)

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 progamees 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)

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.

That's why I specifically pointed out that you need to look at results over time. These players don't play 1 tournament a year. They're constantly competing with each other in various events and over time, you will notice trends.

Also once again, the amount of skill you have is irrelevant if that doesn't translate into wins in leagues and tournaments which is why we take a host of factors into account when evaluating a player, not just how well they micro/macro.

well continue this discussion some other time<3, tired of arguing im missing all the games rofl

Actually Bomber looked more like "Crap he nearly broke me in that first roach/bling bust, gotta be more careful"

He was not even close on breaking there lol

You can watch IPL its on right now. you should check that out! Nobody is forcing you to watch MLG.

Thanks for the tip! How about they show some Koreans vs. Koreans or Foreigners vs. Foreigners. There is a reason they wrap up ever series in 20 minutes with the matches they are picking.
