Leenock was not someone people were talking about to take this whole tourney before it started, everyone knows and thought MVP had a great shot. Leenock crushes him Bitter makes 1 comment emphasizing the underdog aspect mistakenly using the words "I don't know" and 200 nerds jizz in there pants about the chance to brag about how they know more about the gsl than an mlg caster. Thank you good sir. (: | ||

Mr.Biased needs to tone down his bitter.Also, this series was extremely overrated : huge gamble into easy win g1, mvp failing at everything g2, 4/10. | ||

Yeah its called dumb tournament set-up IMO. Koreans are going to quit going to MLG if they keep it how Leenock has to win literally 20 games against someone who played one. Ridiculous. | ||

It's just an overwhelmingly biased format. The MLG regular season has it right. It will also lead to not having an almost completely wasted first day as well. (I guess they at least threw up the Global as filler) The reason MLG does this might have something to do with the issue that each regular season tournament has only ~$5000 in prizes. That's not that much if you don't earn anything else by it. They have monetary limitations. | ||

Leenock is such a good player but he seems to be overlooked a lot. It's awesome to finally see him do well. He can ZvT his way to a GSL title this season as well. He might get a rematch with MVP in the next round if he gets through Alive. That would be pretty awesome | ||

If you bored, check out how many players showed up at mlg only to play 2 games and leave from championship bracket. (Going out with 2-4/1-4/0-4) | ||

A first time player versus a champion + multiple high finishes? This is the FINALS of a national event, after 5 previous events. Personally I don't think there should even be an open bracket at all for the finals. If you are only willing to go to just the final then you shouldn't be in MLG. | ||

Please not that there is a difference between being rewarded to well economically, and getting a way to good seed from just going to previous MLG. Really shitty system imo, which "forces" the players to go all the events, even though the prize pool is less than totalbiscuits monthly tournament. | ||

Nani just has to place higher than DRG and he should be in Code S, since Leenock is in Code S atm. It'll be one Code S spot from MLG. The other Code S spot comes from the ESV Korean Weekly (where the Coca/Byun incident occured) | ||

I don't mind the cheers but the over-hyped casting is beyond the pale. Listening to Mr. Bitter you'd think Leenock was some scrub kid from the bronx who just picked up a mouse yesterday and is playing to save his cancer stricken mother's life. Come on man. Professionalism is lacking. | ||
