No player/caster bashing, or balance whining. Bans will be handed out like candy. (page 217)

No sexist jokes or anything of that nature either. Be mature people.

Just think of the Invitational as AoL and MLG as GSL.


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

How close this is between a pro that plays 8 hours a day everyday and some no name guy in diamond or whatever does not say a lot about the skill ceiling in this game.


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.
If you're not getting better faster than everybody else, you're getting worse.

Still wondering what the connection is with the black guy sign. The guy holding it seems really intent on showing it all the time. So, what's that about?

lololol naniwa gets owned by lucky in gsl, then comes to mlg and wins against two very tired untrying koreans
i mean i would give you credit
but who the fuck cares when you make such a dumb cocky comment


lol get out



hes quite right though...just because Nani won these 2 Bo3s, he isnt magically better than MvP or Nestea...he still is A LOT worse. That shittalk is just so out of place, because in the end Nani didnt prove that much in that tournament.

Fly to a country with less strict drinking laws and you too can purchase and enjoy spirits.


Man, 21 being the legal drinking age in the states never ceases to shock me and I'm a 22 year old Canadian.


Yet they can drink and drive...smh.

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.

lol, Nani "I expected MVP and NesTea to be harder"


more than a little cocky since they just flew halfway around the world and most likely didn't prepare for this match at all...

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 ?

Haha "Violet vs Ganzi should be sick"
It's not because both are Korean that it'll be a close game, this will be a roflstomp, Violet is one of the worst korean in term of skill, he's more or less equal to Catz or something like that. (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

So is MLG funneling the better players' games to the paid for streams and putting the random diamond players games on the freebie streams?

I'm not trying to be cynical. I'm just trying to figure out why they are streaming such low quality play.

Nope.

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.

Because even though he can cast doesn't mean people get to force him to cast every event he attends.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

Probably compleatly biased, but damn, Naniwa, I had such high hopes, and you fullfilled them. Some people say Nestea and MVP made mistakes, and Im nowhere near pro enough to judge their performances. Today, you own my heart. Naniwa in Code S 2012 march, I call it!
