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.

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.

Korea is NOT the biggest scene for SC2. Not yet. It's just the best.

It's by far the biggest scene. We don't see enough of it here, but having a complete infrastructure around it instantly makes it larger than the disorganized foreigner scene. The fact that foreigners need to go to korea to become truly competitive just comes to show that the scene is better, and bigger.

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.


I agree. It's inevitable and a sign that esports is rapidly growing. It's just so goddamn annoying sometimes.

Yup, this one's for Naniwa. The extended series rule has already decided the title.

2-0 will be hard for leenock to come back from.

A finals with a foreigner when all the best koreans are attending is more astonishing to me.

You could make the argument that any discussion is futile, you could make the argument that anything we ever do on this planet is futile, at least from a philosophical perspective. Some people just think it's fun to talk about it though, even if there's no real point of it.

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.


Nope, it's an extended series and Nani is already up 2-0.


If they havnt met yet in the grand finals the player from the winners side only has to win 1 bo3 whereas the player from the losers has to win 2. Its the standard format for double elimination tournaments.


So the finals really are still gonna be Bo3? Ouch. That is a hype-crusher.

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.


Normal double elim finals have the person from the LB needing to win 2 Bo3's while the person from the WB only needs to win one

Korea is NOT the biggest scene for SC2. Not yet. It's just the best.


You do realize they have local tournaments we don't get to see? Also a shit ton of players we don't get to see.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

I'm actually really impressed with Naniwa's PvZ.

For some reason, a lot of Toss' are trying to get cute against zerg with early stargate openings, but Naniwa is keeping it real with a sturdy and well-controlled deathball.

I'm really not sure why Toss moved away from the two-three base deathball anyway.

Are you freaking serious? I mean I get your point about extended series, but the GSL has had its fair amount of bad finals as well.

I guess the monikers westerners or whites are a bit bad taste and quite fragmenting..
It is still the World vs Korea. Worlders? Non-koreans?


I always use the term non-koreans. Foreigner always seemed so self depreciating.
