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. |

He has enough and if you know IdrA you would know he doesn't give a rats ass about the consolation. Wasn't there money on the line? Only 750 more and like I said earlier he doesn't need the money and he only cares about winning. The difference between 1 spot means very little to him. $750 is more money than he's won at most MLG events this season. And it's irrelevant because players like him and huk make most of their money off their contracts.

|
the way husky calls the play by play is like a fucking pro hockey announcer, i love it, great style. And grats to leenock 2/2 impressive

He still has to win 2 Bo3s to Naniwa's 1 Bo3 so it's not like Leenock is much better off. The difference isn't that big. I dunno if Naniwa wins 2 games at all in 4 against DRG he wins. Against Leenock he actually needs to win the majority of games in one of 2 BO3s.
It's a difference of roughly one possible game, not enough for anyone to consider throwing a series and 10,000 for their country and I doubt DRG would throw it anyways. That's more a response to the earlier poster.

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. Please don't do this. It gets annoying really fast. It's ok to plug your sponsors but when interviews become an excuse for advertisments 90% of viewers will tune out. I agree. It's annoying for the viewers. But it increases the business reasons for sponsors to actually give money to teams, players, and tournaments. Which helps improve the production values, prize pools, and ability for pros to focus on just the game. There's a balance to be maintained, but I just notice that progamers hardly ever work the sponsor names into any interviews. I mean, just a "Thank you for our sponsors (insert names)" would be good towards the end. And wouldn't kill eSports. Their attempts with Xperia Play just come across as uncomfortable and stupid every time. Husky's xperia play plug was fucking HILARIOUS! Missed that one  , where can I see it? Dude I missed it too I only saw the NOS drink one. Any link or info would be appreciated.

No, I would consider him frazzled coming off the Nani series.

Korea is ready:
"In Korean a Banjo refers to someone a level above bonjwa. It's prophesied a banjo will one day appear, and he will be one who has perfected the game to a point where there's literally nothing to improve on. There was a famous and much quoted post on the playXP forums many years ago where a b-teamer dreamt the Banjo came to him in his sleep, and he appeared as dark-skinned zerg player. Because of this many in Korea believe Haypro is destined to be the "banjo"."
I found this in a TL post dated October 17 2011, in the MLG Orlando live report thread. No credit to me.

Yes, I really enjoy Husky casting this event. He has definitely improved a lot.

it is ... im right .. read the rules... the final will be i favor of nani cause he didnt lose this mlg so he has 2 chances. extended series isnt in finals, but its basicly the same with the loserbracketwinner behind 2 games.

Oh okay then sorry for misunderstanding. Also ridiculous to throw away a series to try and make your teammate lose.

Yeah, who would expect Idra to do his job and potentially make an extra $750? Divas, even in starcraft 2. Too bad.

I'm quoting this for when the prophecies come true.
