So hyped for MMA vs DRG. One of the best Korean v Korean rivalries.

Of the 3 foreigners in the top bracket 2 have advances.

Nice news for all those who care about the korea vs the world storyline.

'cept for the fact that Koreans have been playing 16 games straight. No Im not being biased btw


fatigue plays a huge factor in how one performs. I'm sure everyone here never ladders when they feel tired or overstressed, but these guys have to play tournament games in front of a large audience. I think its amazing that they can do this and still show some great skill.
blah blah blah...

these are professionals, it doesnt matter

of course it does. do NBA players get tired after playing two nights in a row?


I don't care how professional you are, try flying across the world then playing any sport/game all day and you will see what I mean.


Oh please. He 2gated HuK. It was obvious he'd get outmicroed. It was an odd and highly debatable decision that could only lead to the result we've seen.

Little surprise the top 4 seeds are going to sweep with all their competitors having played 9 games in a row just to get there. What an absurd setup.


Honestly with this awful format I'm surprised more people don't realize, Nestea was probably terribly fatigued from playing games all day two days in a row as well. No wonder he was frustrated. This is just a fact I am not a Nestea fanboy nor am I a zerg.


why in the world is it a terrible format? this is the MLG national championship for the ENTIRE season. they have a big advantage because of their performances throughout the ENTIRE mlg season. Nestea hasn't attended a single MLG, so therefore hes put at a big disadvantage.

I hate this MLG really, every series in this championship bracket the person I want to win doesn't seem to -______-

No doubt DRG will lose to MMA, and then Idra and MC will somehow both advance ><

Yup, there is NO elephant in the room, I am sorry.


Did you read that article?

It kinda was not talking about that


not only was it not what it was talking about , it's kind of hard to decipher skill levels when there are so many factors going into MLG weekends where as gsl provides ample time which rewards the better player (usually) though it also has it's downsides, I really want to see foreigners prove they have what it takes and bring these kind of games to a stage like gsl.

Can't rush Huk. He's just too good right now. Kind of disappointed with HerO's play, expected more from reading LR earlier.

IM Coach, and I think it relates to Naniwa. Anyone able to translate?


"Naniwa's a fucking dick, I've seen lot of assholes, but I cant believe I have to meet another one. What a joke."

That's how I understood it from the quote.

It's not quite that harsh.

yes it is... im coach is pissed... well nestea and mvp got crushed by naniwa so i understand him,... still harsh words..

ok what the fuck does it say..i mean cmon i don't really want to hear "oh its harsher then that", and "oh its not that bad"

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS.

When you run a circuit as opposed to a one off tournament, you should reward consistency. It's far better as is than it has been in the past.

this is pretty much true for all of the recent matches i.e. MC vs MVP, nestea vs naniwa etc...
the current system MLG has favors seeded players WAY too much


Many, many professional gamers have said this is irrelevant. As much as outsiders looking in want to attribute victories and losses to things outside of the actual game, it is not so. And this is what leads to the flame wars in these threads. Hero attempted a strategy and executed it quite well; Huk was the better player and out-micro'd him and defeated him. People need to watch the games and stop trying to analyze them like psychologists.

Congratulations to HuK.


Who, which professional gamers? its complet bullshit I have heard from many players the MLG system is totally unfair towards the open bracket players. Isnt it strange no open bracket players is left in the championship bracket again? And the best players in the world was here?


The fact is MLG pool/open bracket system is so unfair its allmost retarded.

Uh, progamers complain about things like this quite a lot, legitimate or not. It's entirely fair for posters to complain about it too, right or wrong.

Each subsequent Warning that a Player receives will result in a Forfeit of the Game (See Equipment Rule #18 & Gameplay Rule #19).

IM head coach is really rather unhappy by the looks of his twitter. Additionally it states pretty obviously on the MLG website what maps are to be used, which versions and the spawn positions available to them.

Just going on a bit more to sportsmanship it's like in cricket when the bowler is on a hat trick ball and you'll come in and take guard twice, stop the bowler mid run up to adjust your equipment or something, ask that the sightscreen be moved, it's all about getting in their head and disrupting momentum which is, to be very british about it... just not cricket


They should have re-made the game. It's not fair to allow a pause after a scout. It allowed Nani to gather his thoughts and his build order.

We don't have a pause metagame fellas.

The very nature of Starcraft is a fast, precision game that rewards preparation and execution and perfection. Pausing is effectively a form of cheating the game.
