Is it just me or does JP cast like he doesn't give a shit?

No enthusiasm, very monotone = boring to watch.

C'mon jp, you can do better!

Enjoying the series so far, I think MVP will take this.
I see the want to in your eyes.

Extended series freeking sucks.

MVP lost to bomber in the winner's bracket and MMA hasn't lost yet. It's completely fair. This has nothing to do with extended series.

It does. MVP won his extended series vs bomber 4-3, that makes him lossless. (extended series makes this happen, crappy I know).


What? MVP has lost in the Winner's bracket. He has to play MMA in two Bo3s because of Double Elimination.

Has nothing to do with Extended Series in this case.

It is so that as MVP came from loser bracket MMA is 1-0 in sets(now 1-1) they now play an extended series for the last set.

I'll break it down for the people that are confused about the finals @ Providence:

The winner of this match of Bomber vs MVP, goes on to play vs MMA

3750 for each region and 5 for the final event.
The winner of that goes on to the finals at MLG Providence

MVP goes to the finals @ providence regardless, because he is blizzcon champion.

In the event that MVP wins vs bomber and MMA tonight, and takes the KR slot, the blizzcon runner-up NesTea will go as the blizzcon invite.

So MVP is guaranteed in regardless, it's just a matter of whether it'll be MMA or NesTea showing up as that final slot. :p


In that case go MVP! We need more IM and less Slayers in foreign tournaments.


QIM is sending Nestea and MVP regardless. Honestly shouldn't SlayerS be sending MMA regardless as well?


MLG was already inviting MVP before Blizzcon

MVP won Blizzcon, so the invite will most likely go to Nestea


Oh you know what I didn't realize this invitational is completely separate from the National Championship at Providence. It's kind of a squabble for spare change next to the $50,000 first prize of Providence LOL.


What is the prize pool for the invitational?

MMA playing too greedy, finally a terran other than polt has the balls to punish his greedy/gimmicky builds (they're great if the opponent stays passive, but if you just go and fucking kill him...). Hope they'll be playing macro now though.

Can someone explain why there are going to be two separate events at Providence?


I think the goal is to develop interesting storylines for the first day(s) of providence in the actual MLG providence tournament. Offer a few guys an extra incentive to show up, I mean Nestea/MVP in the open bracket is obviously big for MLG. Due to providence not having pool play, a lot of rounds have to be played before the 'seeded' big players are shown.

If you only have medium-level foreigner vs. medium level foreigner in the early rounds I think it gets tedious really fast. This ensures at least a couple 'favourites' that people will be wanting to see.

I know I'm a lot more hyped for MLG knowing we're getting MVP/Nestea in the open bracket at least. Altho having an MLG champion not being seeded is kind of debatable ;p.

I love the extended series rule. Only MLG can come up with a rule where the Winner's Finalist will be at a disadvantage going into the "Final Series"(I'm talking about the second Bo3) of the Tournament that in under normal circumstances he'd be starting even with his opponent. Such a convoluted rule.

He started with a huge advantage, he just needed to win two while MVP had to win four to win. He just didn't take advantage of it.

Thanks to Day[9]'s analysis this week, these safety-oriented early pushes by MVP now look so much clearer.

Ha, I'll watch that, I always liked those fast siege push, they seem very powerful in TvT, thanks for the info.
It was called something like "becoming MVP", and the idea was to encourage an average SC2 player to use (as much as possible) the good ideas from the MVP builds. Hope you find it useful too.

I'm just trolling extended series because it sucks. If you accept it for what it is, MVP has not lost yet. I do agree that in a normal double elimination 2x Bo3 is what MVP has to win.

It works just like a normal double elim. But instead of 2 Bo3, MVP has to win a Bo7. Now, since it's in an extended series, MMA has to win 4 games total, not 2 anymore, because he lost the first two.

You mean except for having a lot shorter road to the final without risking elimination and without having to fear the dreaded extended series?

Wait wait so because MMA lost the first bo3 it turns into extended series down 0-2 instead of a 2nd bo3?

Wow what the hell? I had no idea this was the way it is. Agree with everyone who says it's pretty messed up, but whatever. If you looked at this from a straight up bo7 series MMA would still have had an advantage going into it.

Why is it extended and not just multiple bo3's? They never played each other in the winners bracket so there's no series for it to be extended from ><

On the Polt twitch.tv I get french ads, on the MLG stream I get no ads (and on the KoreanWeekly twitch neither -during the ad times I mean-).
I want ads !
