Watch how you approach the topic of match fixing. You can speculate, saying "I'm not so sure about the finals, something doesn't sit right with me," but if you are going to outright accuse players of match fixing you need something more than your word.

TL takes match fixing/abuse seriously and as such there is a burden a proof when you are accusing players.

Blizzard was right... ladder maps suck for tournaments. Especially with close positions enabled. All in at the end.... and it still can't do it.

At least Arctosis and Tasteless did mention at least once or twice that these positions suck for zerg. Although truly, it sucks in a lot of match ups.

To be honest, close positions suck for all matchups because it's so hard for any race to take a third base like that. You can't really do a nice long macro game with a maximum of 2 secure bases.
This post is clearly not a hurr, as you can see from the graph, the durr never intersects with the derp.

You guys should be happy that they got close positions so that Blizzard sees at their own event how it leads to sub-par games.

Or, maybe Sen should be more agressive on close positions and not let MVP siege up.

It is two Bo3 in Final right? NesTea needs to win only one, MVP two?

Edit: Just read Liquipedia and you can always trust them "Player from the Losers Bracket have to win 2 series in the finals to win the tournament."

MVP didn't need the maps help :/
It could have been a game worth watching if Blizzard understood maps

They have jobs. At GSL. They do this because they want to.

Calling out Blizzard on the maps would only mean they wouldn't come back to Blizzcon, worst case. And this is an issue big enough to object to.

they get payed shitloads for commentating blizzcon

Surprised that Sen hasn't left this game yet, there's no way back from this.


I actually looking at the 2 stream and were like : how dare they take steps in their map pool!", then discover it was a fun game, and when I switch to the real stream I was like -_-.

They're jobs also depend on eSports being viable, meaning having a balanced game.


Are they jobs? I´m confused.

I just felt silly watching that game... really Blizzard, just really? What are they trying to accomplish through this? I feel that, although not using an MLG or GSL version of maps, they could at least tweak their own maps so that there will never be a close position on maps like Shattered Temple / Metalo. I am disappoint T_T

love when Blizzard's own maps ruin Blizzcon. Maybe MVP would've won either way, but at least the didn't have to spawn in the closest positions possible on each map....

I don't see what sen could do in that map... especially after Nestea already used the all-in
