Here we go again. This weekend is about good games and good fun. Don't rain on that parade. Play nice guys. Here's the very standard and friendly:

- NO Balance Whine.
- NO Player Bashing.
- NO Caster Bashing.
- NO BM whatsoever.

Breaking these rules (from pg 166 forward) will be met with severe punishment.

Time to change your system MLG.

You don't watch MLG very often do you? This is the finals. Naniwa was seeded there for is performance throughout the year. People who play MLG often are rewarded for that.


I cheer for Naniwa and I still think it's stupid
It deligitimizes the win IMO


naniwa had to take out the best player nestea and HuK this is huge


Leenock's path was way harder imo...



Statistically, the better players will be seeded higher, ie higher seeds play tougher people, if leenocks run was harder, it was a flaw in MLG system (many good players not seeded, due to them not playing much in season) and a massive design flaw in the system as such

Hey dudes.

Yes, I'm aware that NocNoc is a code S Zerg. All I was trying to imply is that he's been devoid of any major victories and was never really a favorite to win this tournament.

Hope you're all enjoying the tournament.

Now Ima go curl up at Tastosis' feet and watch the last games!

Hey, I've always been very critical about your zerg bias, but that's because I think it hurts the games sometimes. In this particualr series I don't think it did, it was damn fine, but when Idra plays in particular, you just seem to go completely overboard with the bias and it really becomes a turnoff. Esentially because it reaches the point in which you stop noting the good things the other player does, and the bad things your favored player does and it goes pretty bad from there.

I'm really not bashing you, I just think this is an aspect of your cast that you could definitely improve on. Apart from that, you're a pretty good caster and you're doing a damn fine job this MLG so congratulations for that.

I realize that showing these barcraft numbers are important. They cut huge chunks of actual stream numbers. I doubt they buy the subscription either.

Time to change your system MLG.



Naniwa has played like 46 Bo3 in the MLG to get where he is.
Your argument is upside down.

his argument would be upside down if those 46 bo3 were of the same quality as the ones leenock played


The quality of Naniwas opponents overall is better yes. Even though that's not what you were thinking.
Granted he did not win all 46, he did play them. If he lost to bad players he would have played a lot more and have a lot more wins.
If you're not getting better faster than everybody else, you're getting worse.

Rewarded too well, imo.


I rather them reward for consistency than a one hit wonder (even though their points do allow for 1 hit wonders getting into good seeds if they win the tournament). Naniwa being so consistent the whole year allowed him to take the last MLG off and practice his heart out for the finals.


Yeah, go tell that to MVP. The only MLG event champion not in the champion's bracket because MLG arbitrarily decided that a first place finish is only worth 1200 points.

Whatever, they're changing the system next year, so all this is moot.


I'm talking more toward the beginning of seasons where points aren't as inflated. Someone could come in and be one of those one hit wonders and not be consistent. The further the season goes on though, it does start rewarding people who place high and are consistent over multiple MLGs.

People cheer for Leenock more than MVP because:

- He's the underdog
- He's not a multi-time champion who has already won everything
- He made a huge comeback in game one
- He is a sixteen-year-old kid


Sure.. but mostly because he's zerg and he just beat the best terran in the world


The main factor is that he is a zerg who beat a terran lol. Terran doesn't get much love lol.
