Huh? Tyler up 1-0? I stopped watching the game after Kawaii took down Tyler's last colossus at Tyler's natural.

WHY IDRA WHY WHYYYYY QQQQQQQQQQQQQQ /WRISTS PLEASE IDRA POELASE YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE EVIL TERRANS WWWWWWAAAAHHHH IDRA COMON SON At first I laughed at the sarcastic post, but now I am unsure if this is actually sarcasm since so many IdrA fanboys actually act like this... it was a srs post it breaks my heart when idra loses but im not blind MKP is one of my favorite terrans and i can see why he won that game. (and i can see why it seems like bullshit too even tho its not it was great play by MKP) i actually ran and locked myself in the bathroom and cried when my favorite football team lost! i feel ya!  (yeah that was...some years ago) was it the champions league finals in 1999? haha, the thing is of course it wasn't any important game at all i think (was dortmund at the time, some Bundesliga game i'd guess and nothing important at all...children will cra at the silliest things, example miniwheat earlier hehe. mymy there brackets are still open aren't they) HOW DO I ALWAYS GET THE FIRST POST ON A PAGE >_> Damn saw Germany as the country and as a United fan really wanted it to be the 99 finals
i'm from munich so i have to hate bayern by default (also family demands hamburg teams), but don't worry it's still the most traumatic event in bayern history i feel
i bet many children locked themselv up to cry in the bathroom that day^^

Every time I see @WhiteRaSC I'm in awe. Inori was late so he lost his first match, WhiteRa wanted the match to start 0-0.
Wow so manner. Please get whitera in for Providence, he can fare much better than Tyler and Incontrol, Tlo, Drewbie, He has been consistently making out of the open bracket, but still not getting enough point.
More special tactik pleasssssssssse.
white-ra was on the other side of that, where he was bumped into losers bracket over being late. He probably doesn't like it very much.
But yes, much respect to white-ra

Top 6 Korean again?
4 of 6 already Korean? Will anyone not sneak in the remaining two spots?
*sheds zerg tears* Huk is not Korean. Although that point has been debated for countless ages around these parts, and no real conclusion has been made so far. To me, he is European because he is of Caucasian descent, though you could argue that he is actually African due to ancestral migrations. When people say Korean they usually mean Korean in terms of actually spending time in Korea. That's why we call Select a foreigner and not a Korean. Yep. Obviously HuK is a white dude and American-Canadian. What matters for SC though is his training, which is obviously Korean. That would be like saying that French player practicing chess in Russia is Russian. That terminology makes absolutely no sense to anyone but few people who decided to use it (few sc2 fans who just need to be able to say that non-Koreans never win anything). You are redefining words needlessly, just say training in Korea, which is correct English, not Korean as he is not, he is a Canadian/American. Using few more words won't kill you and you will avoid butchering English language and creating misunderstandings. Firstly, the korean/foreigner terminology was invented before SC2 existed. Secondly, I was simply clarifying what every sane person means by the terms. When someone says HuK is Korean, it is shorthand for saying he's a white dude who has trained in Korea for long enough to be considered one of them, in SC terms. it's a compliment even, i don't get why people get so defense about it? because that's basically taking one of if not the best 'foreigner' away?
Its just stupid thou. People who like to sit on the side that Koreans are the outright best in this game have the opinion that for foreigners to compete they need to go to Korea. So our top foreigners go to Korea but if they stay to long they suddenly will be known as Koreans themselves. If this is truly the way the community wants to go its time to take the definition to the next level and specify at what point does an American/European become a Korean.

Polt ends the day 12-0 and wins over Alive, rvsp, Jinro and Incontrol in dominating fashion.
Good thing he learned his lesson not to look over opponents.

Why, were you not entertained by that game? Why does it matter where they come from? Was that game not intense and exciting? If a player's nationality is what prevents you from watching esports why even bother? Some people doesn't enjoy seeing a tourney roster and knowing which players will finish top 6. It's his opinion, are you that intolerant? There are more than 6 Koreans, and if pool play shows us anything it's that foreigners are more than capable of making it top 6 anyway. SC is about the games, not about where people are from. You want SC2 to be an e-sport, right? Soccer is all about the games too, yet I don't cheer for barcelona because they are the best team in the world, I cheer for flamengo because they are the team from my country. Soccer is a team sport, SC2 is more comparable to tennis or golf, Do you perhaps not root for Federer or Tiger Woods? There's not much point in complaining about people cheering for their own country. The Koreans do the same and no one ever blames them. Like Tasteless was saying, Koreans won't even watch a sport unless Koreans are winning it. This is simply not true. My father was a Yankees fan ever since he was a teenager in South Korea. He didn't even own a television set. He'd watch the games on horrible reception whenever he had a chance to go to a major city. In an Olympic setting, would South Koreans root for their national team? Of course they would, but the important thing is that they ultimately respect the game. Whoever you root for is who you choose to root for. What's ridiculous is to say that you're a StarCraft fan and then in the next breath say you blatantly refuse to watch any games with Koreans in it. So basically you are... 1. Being prejudice. Not racist, but prejudice. The best players in the world are Korean. You are refusing to watch the best players simply because they are Korean. 2. Not respecting the game. Refusing to watch games based on reason #1 means you don't care about seeing good games. All you care about is seeing foreigners play. 3. Ignorant. You are denying yourself the opportunity to watch the best StarCraft 2 players in the world. I'm a soccer fan. When the United States or South Korean national teams are playing, of course I'll cheer in their favor, but when they inevitably get knocked out I don't stop watching the game. I watch it all the way to the finals. Why? Because I respect the game and those who play it on the highest level. The sport takes precedent over the nationalism. The last thing StarCraft should become is a xenophobic mouthpiece for nationalistic circlejerks. Respect the players. Respect the game. There are good foreigners and there are good Koreans, but if foreign scene can't respect the game, then it will always be subpar to the Korean scene. Also, the basketball scene in China is getting much better too. Guess what the best selling NBA jersey in China is? If you guessed Yao Ming you are dead wrong. The best selling NBA jersey in China is Kobe Bryant. Then it's Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Paul Pierce, Allen Iverson.... Yao Ming is actually #10. Why the fuck was he a Yankees fan of all teams... in South Korea? He had his own Korean favorites, but the Yankees nation is worldwide, like Manchester United for soccer. You can find Manchester United and Yankees fans all over the world. But he was specifically a Yankees fan because he loved the legacy and Joe Torre.
good choice! Yankees ftw

You're talking about a Korean pro-gamer. If he's tired it's due to travels, not 11 games.

Sadly, I think this is way past a "slump", it's just his level. I'm not hating but it's pretty clear he doesn't belong in pool play. It's just how the system works though.

Any protoss with 1 gate FE will be able to hold this albeit with some probe losses. Incontrol just got owned by one of the most standard builds ever.
