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.

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.


Aye, we're an awkward country with awkward people. It's got to do with Jante-lagen, get one of your swedish friends to explain that one to you >.>


Haha will do. The only time i was ever in Sweden i was too young to remember anything about it, but my friends always tell me things that are kinda funny(to me at least). I thought it was hilarious that my friend was studying to become a "Landmeister"(sp?) and had classes with the prince of sweden.

Looking like Naniwa is going to win this game
I asked my friend how the ratio at a party was, he replied. "Let's just say for every guy there was two dudes."

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.



It's also futile as the very topic is fickle.


it's also fun because we are starcraft fans and this is what sports fans do.


Think of how annoying and stupid the average sports fan is. Is it really such a nice thing that esports fans are becoming similar?


I feel it is kind of bound to happen as it grows larger, more newcomers get into it. In my opinion it wasn't like this at the beginning, but that's just my thoughts.

So the guy got one build with massive forcefields vs zergs, and zergs cant do anything. It's really fun watching a guy being able to forcefield the ramps and all over the Zerg's creep.

I wonder if any proplayers will be able to beat protosses next month as Zerg if they play like Naniwa and abuses FF at max. It reminds me about the MC vs July finals where July couldnt do anything since the forcefields were there all the time.

Hopefully Leenock beats DRG cuz he deserves a better spot (which I doubt he will tho), but I cant see him having a chance vs protoss in the final. This just makes me so sad, lol. The PvZ seems so broken.

Let's stop this "Naniwa is (or isn't) the best player / foreigner / blablabla".
Let's instead be like it is - Naniwa - so far - clearly is the best player in this tournament.
Also LOL @ the 2 base allin whining, in 2nd game everyone who has a fucking clue of SC2 can tell that Naniwa was FORCED into it and if he didn't he just flat out died.

Some people like watching good games, and a lot of people don't think 8 minute games are good.


I would LOVE to see you go up there and force a 40 minute game on 5-6 bases. Against DRG. At MLG. For $50,000.

Would you risk that amount of money, just to prove that you can go up to 5 bases and play a long game?



I never said it's not a good strategy, I said I don't think it's fun to watch.

Sure if I'm playing I'll do whatever to win, but as a viewer I don't like watching games like that.


Ring up Dustin and his fellow David Kim and tell'em they need to redesign Protoss. Really, if all-ins, timing pushes and anything you could with less than 2 bases is too strong, too hard to fight against and always potentially game-ending then hate game - not the players. They just wanna win.

Did you actually bitch about MVP's win over MC too? I mean he did timing attacks to win, you know...

Yes swedes maybe tend to be shy.

But man not like that!? If i was Naniwa there i would be brave in front of the crowd after a awesome 2-0 victory!

He never seems happy =/

Never. Korea has by far the biggest scene and the best players. Unless that changes and a massive cultural shift happens somewhere else, it will never change.

Interviews with pro-gamers always make me cringe. The players are socially awkward and nervous, and the interviewers are just trying to do their job.



You know who's never awkward? The emperor! The man is a politician as much as he is a gamer!


He's also had over ten years of getting non-stop media attention.

Yes, a lot of gamers are weird. How you carry yourself is up to you and no one else.


It doesn't surprise me that most gamers are "weird", since most games don't often require interacting face-to-face with people.

Also because most societies and certainly governments/businesses (same thing) shrug when it comes to bullying, if they don't encourage it, and the gamer is usually an easy target.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

Sure if I'm playing I'll do whatever to win, but as a viewer I don't like watching games like that.

What choice did he have in the last game? He was 2 base to a 3 base zerg with the gold. He had 0 chance of holding an expansion so he didn't have much choice to go all-out attack. It may have been viable to expand and start remaking probes once he killed the gold, but he obviously saw a chance to win so he took it.

I'm disappointed that extended series has sort of taken the excitement out of the games, I hope Leenock wins the first 2 games and, if DRG makes the final, he wins the first 2 games.

Yep, it is as much a disgrace as it was when they announced they were keeping it for this year. Impressive when you intentionally ruin your own tournaments with your dumbass rules.


Doesn't matter. Normal double elimination rules already ruined the finals no matter what.

Because GSL finals have all been great and MLG finals have all been bad.

I'm against extended series, but only because I feel it doesn't make sense. How good a match is depends on a lot of things, not just format.

They could learn things from real sports-stations, have post-game analysis by some people that's not the regular commentators. That would also fill alot of the dead air-time.
