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. |

How is MLG easy money? lol
Probably the hardest tournament thats happened in the west as of yet. its really the opposite unless thats what you meant.
He went to the uk qualifiers for the easy money instead of participating at mlg.

Also due to Naniwer and Leenock in top two, they go to Blizzard Cup.
The line-up now being:
Nestea
MMA
MVP
Stephano
Naniwa
DRG
Leenock
Blizzcon Winner
WCG Winner
Open Spot (4th place in GSL points is MC, so more than likely him)
That is one ridiculous lineup right there.

So MVP gets like 3 lives? They should let him play all 3 spots lol

But seriously ZvZ has evolved into an awesome MU. No TvT but still pretty darn awesome/ PvP has shown some potential and i hope it evolves into something cool.
If anything, I'm starting to feel both ZvZ and PvP are actually better than TvT. Strange how much things have changed(since I hated both before).
i dont really think zvz changed that much, its that people actually find mutalisk impressive while the true core of a player is still shown in ling/blin vs ling/bling, which i dunno why people hate, as it is actually one of the really few micro rewarding moments in sc2

GO LEENOCK! TAKE THIS SHIT HOME! Since when is July Retiring ? he does his army time very, very soon, probably retiring after oh right no SC2 team...July to ACE? >_> Proleague needs to add SC2 NOW so he can go to ACE
haha that is an interesting way to look at it...
and Boxer return to SKT and Nada to Wemade i guess lol
i wouldn't mind then

Now we have this retarded shit, where we play a Bo3 first and if Leenock wins this, there will be an extended series as a second match. It's just 2 BO3s and Nani needs to win 1 to win. The way it's worded is misleading.
that makes no sense though. this assumes that leenock would have lost 2-0 to naniwa if they had met along the way.
which means that if leenock had actually played naniwa on his way to the finals and lost 2-1, he would be better off than he is now.
here i was excited that the extended-best-of rule would finally not ruin the finals.

I want leenock to win man. Naniwa won from the open bracket to start off this season , Leenock should win from the open to close it out, it's only fitting.

Does this mean Naniwa just got a Code S spot btw?

How so? Admittedly this MLG has been pretty bad in the PvP department, but since the blink research nerf and immo buff I've atleast been enjoying it a lot more. Tbh though TvT I'm also just quite sick of it

even if Leenock loses this .... he might be the most skilled Zerg in the world ...
he could possibly be a bonjwa in the future of SC2 Stretching it a bit? I am talking about raw talent ... I dont see anyone else with the raw talent he could never pan out but the talent is there How do you see Talent? Is that some green shroud around leenock? how can someone see such a stupid thing? Its just your emotion getting in your way of logic. You cant see talent. Just how good someine is atm. Im guessing you dont watch sports You see talent in someone who has overwhelming ability that is superior even to people who are the leaders at their position, but who are severely lacking in another area of their game, below average, which can be attributed to inexperience or lack of training. The idea, then, is that this person has not reached their ceiling of skill, and hence have talent even if they aren't necessarily winning. For example, SlayerSMMA showed amazing decision-making in GSL Team League in the first few months of its existence, taking out Nesta/MVP/MC in excellent games, but showing that he suffered from nerves in individual GSL games by losing due to errors that he didn't make when at his prime. Given his lack of big game experience but that he performed extremely well, it was clear that he had talent. A few months later he's a GSL champion and generally considered one of the top Terrans in the world. Leenock has showed amazing games for a long time now, but has fallen apart to nerves. Given his young age and relative inexperience at LANs, it has been clear to many since GSL Open 2/3 that he has amazing talent. Today we're seeing it in action, just as we did with MMA.
So true. On top of that he is not even playing sc2 fulltime because he is still in school.

They keep saying Leenock is trending worldwide, but I can't see it on my twitter sidebar.

Then they decided to change it last minute by ignoring their own extended series rule. Take it a look at how they ran the Korean Global Invitational which MMA got thoroughly screwed in because of extended series.

Check out the Grand Finals.

I can't believe I got warned. I was just joking. Naniwa does deserve a chance in Code S after this weekend, but it is still is quite funny that he just keeps getting the MLG spots over and over and over, losing 0-2, and then getting a new one.
Oh well.

I think he meant, he didn't go to MLG because he wanted to make easy money instead.

you are both correct.
If Nani loses the first Bo3 then they play another Bo3.
Nani and Leenock have now previously met in this MLG so extended series kicks in
