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.

Leenock had that game but needed drones back on gas after the split and get a baneling nest of his own.

Why so risky DRG? I really don't get it. Cross spawn on taldarim? Seriously?


The build is very viable on Taldarim due to the lack of a ramp and an entrance which queens can't block.

Let me clear up the situations here (Quote so this gets viewed):

If DRG wins, Naniwa is up 2-0 in a best of 7

If Leenock wins, they play a best of 3 series. If Naniwa wins, he wins the championship. If Leenock wins the best of 3, it is extended to a best of 7 (taking the first best of 3 into account), winner take all.

mlg is a joke. so every single mlg the finals are going to be unbalanced because whoever came from the winner bracket has a way easier chance.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. It's two separate BO3's if Leenock wins


No it is not. http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/25#event_54_competition_format


What? You linked something that says exactly if Leenock is in the finals there are 2 BO3s.


"If the Player who came from the Championship Bracket Losers Bracket wins the initial Match, the Match will expand to a Best of 7, include the initial Match, and pick up where that Match left off. For example, if the Championship Bracket Losers Bracket Player beat the Championship Bracket Winners Bracket Player 2 Games to 0 in the initial Match, the Best of 7 will resume with Game 3 and the Championship Bracket Losers Bracket Player leading 2 Games to 0. "

This is NOT two Bo3's. This is a Bo3 that can expand into a Bo7.



So if DRG wins, Naniwa has a better chance to win the tournament, If Lennock wins he has a code S spot.


Leenock is in the Ro8 in Code S...


That is what he is saying.

If DRG win then nani has a better shot at the 50k
if leenock wins then Nani has a code s spot

Yes, but the extra chance is just based on 1 more game.


Doesn't Naniwa get code A either way? I mean, staying in code S is so hard nowadays anyway so.

Too bad a PvZ finals is inevitable, gonna see a bunch of two-base all-in shenanigans.

On a side note, mirror hatch-first builds from leenock and drg looks promising =D

Crazy pressure on both of these players, so hard to choose a build order for this game, so little time to think about that and so much on the line.

$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.


It is getting paid $750 to win 2 games. There really is no excuse to not play that - I don't care who you are. No pro player is at the point where they should turn that down.


Seems that should be a decision left to him and his management.

yeah this is kind of ridiculous, he should be able to freely pick which matches he decide to play -_-

would have loved to see haypro vs idra though, if they would have even casted it


They never cast the consolation matches... so I have no idea why everyone is up in arms. If he doesn't want to potentially win the money leave him alone cause it doesn't affect what you get to see at all.


I think everyone is missing the point. Idra is essentially saying 30-40 minutes isn't worth $750 dollars to him. It's his job to play video games. He signed up for MLG Providence, is scheduled to play and is choosing not to.

That's pretty spoiled if you ask me. But I guess it's not a surprise, considering he asks for $300+ per hour of coaching.

He's free to play or not play in whatever games his team will let him, but that doesn't mean refusing to play isn't ungrateful/spoiled.


Again, isn't this a decision that should be left to he player and his management?


How is that an appropriate response? Of course it's his and his teams decision, but I see nothing wrong with feeling it's ungrateful, bad mannered, and acting spoiled. People are of course free to disagree. I have my opinion, others have theirs. I would think most people would be slightly bothered by someone implying $750 for an hour isn't worth their time, but hey, everyone's different.

How is it spoiled anyway? He can afford not to play it, and it's none of our business. The only person he has to thank for affording not to play that game is himself.


I give up trying to explain things on here today.

Does he really charge $ 300 per hour or are you just exagerating?

he's not exaggerating : go to www.gosucoaching.com and search for idra's page. (would link it but it doesnt load for me for some reason)


He doesn't want to coach. That's why it's that high.
