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.

So crazy. I think its plausible that Naniwa is the best player in the world right now, I don't know what else to conclude from these results.

One tourney doesn't make you the best player?


I know, but beating the best players in the world head to head does. Its just so rare that 1 player faces and beats all of them in the same tourney run.

It's one thing to win a tourney while getting a great lineup, but Naniwa has beaten the best players in the world each of the past 3 days.

Who would you pick to beat him right now? Nestea? MVP? DRG? MMA? MC? Huk? Leenock? Taeja?







FXOLucky and Check



Lol, well done well done.

I suspect there is something about the GSL that just gets to nani and prevents him from playing to the best of his ability

BUUUUUUUUT

DRG needs 4 games against Naniwa

While Leenock only needs 2 against Naniwa

Am I right?

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.


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.


If the Korean scene is so huge for SC2, why do the Korean teams need foreign money?

They do right now...Flash is rumoured to be worth $400k. Once (if) BW switches over fully to SC2, just wait, they won't need foreign money.


On another note, MLGs are also a lot of fun. They want to travel to new and exciting places man. There's a lot more to it.

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.


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.


Guys a friend on mine is swedish, and he´s kinda the most charismatic and outgoing person i know. Dont generalize this


oh idd, Naniwa is in no way the typical swede :p quite the opposite imo. but hey, I cant really be objective now can I.


Naniwa isn't typical, no, but there's a certain northern reserved disposition that's common all throughout Northern Europe.
Not supporting teams who take robber baron money.

I don't know, why does Microsoft or Exxon Mobile need money? They don't, but they want more.

That is 100% incorrect. The only other tournaments that are on a regular basis are the Korean Weekly and the FXO events. Korea is starved for tournaments.

Hm. Progamers do need to do one more thing to really boost eSports. Whether you're shy, or antisocial, or just a boss, take a note from NASCAR - get your sponsor's name(s) into the conversation every possible way every time. That's what they are really giving you the money for. Other than that, I love the trash talk (genteel as it is), the drama, and even the stoic.

Also, Naniwa will win... because he's just ballertoss.

So, will there be a "Best Signs of the Stream" thread? Some of them are bad, but some (like Kerrigan look alike contest) are pretty funny.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

MVP went for very quick two-base Collosus, and MVP was able to get a great surround with his Bio to take the game.
Fail annuncment from mlg =) or maybe mvp fins out to use collosus with terran

They have much bigger teams, team houses and generally higher costs.*

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.


When one person has a big advantage over another, it tends to make the match bad. Just because almost all GSL finals have been ridiculously one sided isn't the format's fault.


I actually suspect letting the players pick the brackets has a lot to do with the one sided GSL finals.

Hmm from this tournament it seems protoss hard counter zerg, and terran is still the one to be able to do something about protoss, also naniwa didn't get matched against terran at mlg, so people calling him best protoss when he basicly only had to abuse force field balance against zerg on two base, hmmm his good yes but meh.


He 2:1ed MVP (You know, the terran who got the furthest in providence?) in global invitational this friday. Also he 2:1ed HuK,

Why are foreign teams willing to give them money?

Because they want the koreans to represent their tourney. Foreign tourneys need Koreans more than Koreans need foreign tourneys.

Yeah, the only reason MLG has this prize pool is because of the koreans. MLG got MUCH bigger in viewership after the korean invites.
