Thanks. Then I guess it really doesn't mean much.

Close? 2-0 Did you watch the second game? second game wasn't even close.... it looked close because the observers missed 4 stalkers killing everything in the guys main.... Granted the ff's were nice etc. it still was nowhere near close. 4 stalkers in Nikolas main 5 stalkers in Puzzles main the reason it ended up not close is because Puzzle obviously microes/multitasks way better, but merely having stalkers in Nikolas's base wasn't autowin. It was game over if Puzzle didn't, and close when he did. Nikolas had 5 stalkers + dead probes + no mining + dead pylons + no gateways active Puzzle had 4 stalkers in Nikolas base + 2-3 stalkers to the right in his own base at the time Nikolas had 5 in there after the fight + ability to warp in more + active minining + all gateways functioning At what point was it close? At the point before Nikolas completely collapsed multitask-wise, and let 4 stalkers kill all his probes while his own stalkers shot random pylons instead of the one pylons powering everything. Please read the second part of my post. How would Nikolas win the big fight if he had warped in units to defend the smashing of his own base? He was done, before the big fight was over, nothing he could do from there. | ||

That shittalk is just so out of place, because in the end Nani didnt prove that much in that tournament. | ||

Apollo/Wheat was great at IPL3, and we're Seanless this time around. Because you can only have so many casters and just because they're there doesn't necessarily mean they have to cast. You can have a good time too. o-O In either case it isn't the same guy. | ||

Naniwa flew halfway around the world too, no? Personally I don't like Naniwa but a win is a win and beating Nestea and MVP, prepared or not, is still a feat in itself. Naniwa was on the same plane as them people... So? I highly doubt Mvp and Nestea were pulling out all the stops for what, $3k? There's a nice, much larger prize waiting for them. Why show all their best builds for a special event that means nothing? Please, for the love of god, just stop. Fucking hell..... What? It's true. You don't want to show your best stuff early on. You save it for if you need it. MLG Global Invitational is nice yes, it'd be great to win it. But you want to win Nationals not the Invitational. That doesn't mean Naniwa didn't win fair and square. It just means IdrA, Naniwa, Nestea, and Mvp most likely kept certain builds to themselves. Because you think they need a special build for naniwa ? Standard, solid play of MVP or Nestea isn't enough ? Yesterday : "Naniwa will get pwned by MVP" After beating MVP : "naniwa will get pwned by Nestea" After beating Nestea "MVP and Nestea were jetlagged and didn't used their "best builds"" when Naniwa is coming from Korea too and there is no such thing as "best build". MVP or Nestea have played in some GSL finals already, each time they just used standard builds. Perhaps sometimes they prepare something, but isn't their standard play scary too ? | ||

(it's not being bad, it's just being far from the top which is where Ganzi is). Slush or even TLO vs Ganzi would be way more exciting for instance. (even if I don't doubt Ganzi would still win). Well, I haven't seen any game from violet since GSTL and his GSL games some months ago, so perhaps he's good now, but with the informations we currently have, this match should be a big disappointment in regard to how they hype it. Violet is Rank 1 GM on NA ladder I think. Lol all this time I thought MrCon had reasonable credibility, but that's just absurd. ViOlet, on the same level as CatZ. Give me a break man! Hell no man, ViOlet is many many times better than CatZ. T_T | ||

Winner of Korea tourney, winner of NA tourney, winner of Euro tourney, and blizzcon runner-up I understand that since MVP won the Korean tourney and Blizzcon, the runner-up of Blizzcon got invited. But why was it Blizzcon runner-up instead of Korean runner-up (MMA)? It could have been this way. | ||
