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! (#) |

don't see nada taking a series from puma. puma got this. Know this is going to sound stupid but why does everyone think puma's great? not trying to insult him but other then him winning the NASL i honestly have never heard him mentioned in terms of tourneys. IEM. he's pretty overhyped and overrated to be honest. at IEM he just beat a bunch of foreigners and than had a rematch with MC again, who is losing to just about everyone at the moment. watching him doesn't feel the same as watching immvp
dude, he owned up the everyone to get into the NASL finals, owned again, won against MC. Owned once again at IEM, walked out the Airport in the US with 1st place cheque in his hand. Now running through open bracket like nothing, 2-0 at the moment. It is NOT a SUPRISE if he also wins this MLG. He has MLG's curse on his side too.

ALMOST all of them turned out to be foreigner vs korean where the foreigner went into to it with the mindset 'This guy is better then me maybe I can cheese him out'.
I've barely seen any proper games. 90 times out of 100. The Korean guy IS better than the foreigner. The dominance they've displayed now at three consecutive MLGs is starting to intimidate the players. I don't blame them at all. That's mostly because there are so many top Koreans invited and so few EU players. With Mana, Dimaga, Tarson etc. this would look very different. Somehow I highly doubt that. If you saw how thoroughly thrashed Thorzain and Naniwa are getting in the GSL right now you'd understand that it isn't just the North American and Korean gap that's huge it's also the Korean/European gap as well. Not saying it wouldn't be better than having some of the lower tier players in the pools replaced with some European pros, but I don't think it would make much difference in unseating the dominance the Koreans are displaying.
Yeah, doesn't matter if all of the foreigner's scene's best were present. Koreans would still roflstomp. That's just how it is unfortunately, the skill difference is immense, but we could always hope that one day it will change!

In Korea all foreigners have to earn their spot, but in mlg they get it handed to them.
I think you are forgetting about Code A spots for Nani/SaSe/ThorZaiN.

Code B is actually 10x as grueling as the open bracket of the MLG is, and a bunch of foreigners got free spots in the Code A tournament only to be eliminated in the first round.

The dominance they've displayed now at three consecutive MLGs is starting to intimidate the players. I don't blame them at all. Its more like 100 times out of 100. The very best foreigners in the world are not even Code A material imho and maybe not even Code B level either. Its just amazing how deeply talented and skilled the level of play in Korea is. Honestly the only way the gameplay will get better at MLG is to just invite more and more Koreans or all the foreigners go over to Korea and get insanely good. You know there are numberous foreigners competing in Code A right? And Huk is in the Ro8 of Code S? You realize Huk and everyone thats in Code A is living in Korea right? Huk living in Korea makes him as much a Korean as Rain a foreigner or Puma for living in US for 2 weeks. Plenty of Europeans have team houses in not there home country. Demuslim is living in EG house iirc and that doenst change his nationality either.
Huk didnt try to qualify for WSG Korea because he isnt Korean. He went for WSG US because he has duel citizenship (US and Canada) not Canada and Korea.

I feel like Tastosis seem better at casting in the GSL compared to MLG. Maybe they can't say there side banter as much due to having the live audience? I've noticed that too; definitely less funny banter. Even so, I'd watch them over anyone else by far.
Think part of it is tasteless isn't used to obsing at the same time time as casting anymore, so he's kinda distracted and artosis can't bounce a lot of banter off him.

Did every foreigner retire? Are they not going to be able to compete for code A again?
They will be able to compete in Code A...if they get invited.

you cant 'figure out' DRG. he plays the most standard zvt possible, he just executes it at a level much higher than almost any other zerg you could care to name.

I guess you haven't been watching GSTL if you think Thorzain and Naniwa are getting "thoroughly thrashed" They just got allkilled and the only match they won was vs MVP without using dongraegu...(their whole team basically)
Naniwa wasn't present against Prime and Thorzain seemed a bit out of it. He had a great showing against TSL last week.

Why don't they have an observer in each of the pool games and just switch between games on the main casting stages like Rotti and that do during ESL games... they even flick between games as exciting stuff is going down...
If MLG wants gold memberships maybe have more games showing rather then a stream just teasing the shit out of us by having a camera 10 metres away from the players monitors showing us some obscure view and trying to guess who wins via body language of the players after a score screen appears lol.
Yep anyone who had access to install streaming software on their computers could do a better job of covering these games than MLG. Even just following one player's actions would be vastly better.

The Europeans in Code A got charity spots (via MLG or otherwise), they didn't qualify through the standard channels.
