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.

looks like its going to be a DRG vs Nani finals sicne drg has a 2-0 lead against leenock and nani has a 2-0 lead against drg!! lookin good for naniwa


If Leenock continues to play the way he has been playing. I like his chances of coming from behind.


Leenock's ZvZ is way behind his ZvT.



His ZvZ has looked solid today. That's all that matters.

Calm down please. What did DRG expect from Nani to do after taking an early gold? He scouted the colossi tech and needed way more spines and roaches to hold the empending attack. wp nani

Sad those two are probably the most had working foreigners, I mean the other ones go home after a month or so. And Jinro of course let's not forget about him, perhaps IdrA also now.

Naniwa was forced into that all-in. Zerg being on Gold base unpunished for so long is just difficult to deal with.


Exactly. I hate how people who don't understand the game make up such excuses when their favorite players lose.

Game 1 DRG was doing the 15 spine crawler + Muta build.. Theres only one way to stop that; you have to hit the timing BEFORE the spines finish, and make sure he stays on 2 bases. Naniwa couldn't take a 3rd on that map as its very bad for protoss, and he harassed DRG great with the hatch snipe to delay the spine/muta combo. If he attacked any later and those spines finish, Naniwa had no chance. He went when he had to.

Game 2 DRG did another abusive zerg tactic in taking the gold right off the bat, which theres no way Protoss can stop him from doing it (as you saw the zealots trying) - so Naniwa realized he had to make something happen FAST before that gold really kicked in.. He cut probes hard, went 7gate with 1 collosus timing because thats literally all he COULD do or he would lose if he sat there and let the zerg build up with a gold base for free.

I still dont understand why didnt they ban Naniwa?
He played really good this tournament, but that guy just have no charisma at all, he is like walking dead...i dont see how can people like him. He is just not the kind of person you want promoting e-sport and having too much in it, lets just in case he get that Code S spot, he will continue his streak from Code A.

imo coca would beat him, he has the best zvp shame about the whole match-fixing thing.


Not like it matters since I believe this MLG gave him Code S status.

TL literally can't go 3 minutes without attempting to rank players.


I don't know why people care so much about ranking them either. What do you get from it?

It's a fun topic of discussion.

Another 2 base all-in from NaNiwa.



Seriously, people saying that he is allin on 2 base. I don't get it :p. 2base allin doesn't exist.


Nah this is definitively an all in.

To really identify an all in just ask yourself something.

If he loses the battle will be be behind or in an unwinnable position? If its the later its is an all in

Unless you play zerg, that statement holds true at any given point in any game. So I guess every P and T are all in in every mid/late game scenario.


It really doesnt hold true. What makes it an all in by this definition is the NEED to do economic dmg. If the attack doesnt do economic dmg than are you so far behind that they can basically macro up an army and come kill you in 3 minutes. Thats what a lot of the PvZ attacks are. The zerg takes a quick 3rd and protoss picks one of a myriad of attacks to kill that 3rd or they lose. The reason for this is that there isnt really a well discovered time for protoss to take a 3rd against zerg and keep up in macro. It probably exists it just hasnt been flushed out yet.

Why? :_S


Not trying to be racist at all here, but I have several friends from Stockholm and they all kinda act like that. Theyre great dudes but they come off as very weird/awkward until you get to know them(some even after you know them). From my experience at least, Swedes like Jinro seem to be the minority.

ACtually its drg vs leenock now right, so naniwa can still meet drg in the final..


Praying for Leenock to win so we have a proper final!


Leenock would still have to win two Bo3's while Naniwa would have to win one. MLG uses a proper implementation of double elimination, that's how it works.


What? MLG has never worked like that. They just put Nani up 2 games in a BO7.


They've always worked like that, if a player has not encountered another player, the Winner's Bracket finalist has to win 1 Bo3 while the Loser's Bracket finalist has to win 2 Bo3s, that's how double elimination works. That's what happened with MMA vs MVP.
