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! (#)

Am I the only1 that thinks that most games this tournament have been absolutely terrible?
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.


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?

So what ? That doesn't make them korean.


Seriously people just stfu already about nationality. It has nothing to do with race. He plays and trains in Korea. Thats why hes so damn good. Huk himself says hes a Korean player so stop acting delusional.

I don't care they're still foreigner training in Korea.



Its an unstoppable chain that makes no sense. When you are foreigner in Korea and you lose you are a foreigner but when you win you are a Korean, so its impossible to count for anything else.

Kiwikaki shows flashes of absolute brilliance. I wish he could hone that into a consistent beast of a game but so far they are just flashes.

You need more than occasional brilliance to survive the GSL. That's how Jinro got eliminated.

Sorry I don't see a huge difference in skill level between huk and kiwi, and I'm probably a better judge of that than every gold players that lurks teamliquid


Sorry but your opinion of a single player in Code S doesn't qualify another one to be considered of that skill level.

I don't want to start anything, but why does this logic work on huk but not on select? select trains in NA does that make him a foreign player?


yes

Too many breaks so far...

And I don't understand all this hate against certain players (such as IdrA) when everything goes as usual so far: Koreans winning pretty much everything. It is very likely that of all the foreigners only HuK, Naniwa, Select and Kiwi will have more than 2 wins and I guess Nani and Huk may even count as Koreans by now. No really big upsets so far.

Nani not yet I think he's only been in Korea for 2-3 weeks

The difference is that Huk is more consistent, which is actually a pretty huge factor.

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


He got beat pretty handily at IEM by Mana btw. Mana should go to Korea, after a while there I'd say he could be Code S.



Why do people keep mentioning this? MC also beat Puma 2-0 whilst at IEM in the Sk Cup..... The games didn't matter... lol


It's not often a foreigner beats a player like Puma. Every time counts.

Requoted for truth. Kiwi is on top of his game. HuK isn't untouchable. Even both at full form, they were always close to even. Nani, Kiwi, and HuK all are, honestly.

Troll.

ok Nada is definitely not code S material, he just got lucky

Do you actually watch the GSL? Nada is consistently Ro8/Ro4.

oh that clearly was too subtle -.-

it was pretty successful you got like half a page raging

I see more of the crowd then the games. An when there is a game both red and blue stream shows the same once.

I havne't paid for better quality, but would feel pretty screwed if i had.

If you're only judging by the games they played at this MLG, I can see how you might think that, but not if you compare their performances at the last 3 or 4 last tournaments they've played in.

Also people who say "NANI AND THORZAIN ARE RAPING KOREA!" lets take a look at TLPD

Thorzain - 4 wins 5 losses.
Nani - 1 win 4 losses
Fenix - 2 wins 5 losses


2 of those losses are from GSL arent they`? And the day the swedes were playing they had just arrived the day before and had some jet lag and not much practice even before that.
And considering most of the korean themselfs even has close to 50% win loss percent in gsl and gstl, only DRG, Nestea have like 70% on winrate.

So it does like pretty decent excluding the crappy gsl day they had.
Thorzain - 4 wins 3 losses.
Nani - 1 win 2 losses
Fenix - 2 wins 3 losses

Looks like any decent korean results to me, and they haven't been in korea practicing that long unlike the koreans.
