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.

Hrm, now what to watch.

I wanted to watch Wheat + Husky cast, but I also kind of want the stream with the better crowd mic because it's a bit lame to hear it 100ft and several walls away TT

In other news, IPL4 result for Stephano + Show Spoiler +
just made 10'000$ http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IGN_ProLeague_Season_4/UK_Qualifiers

He didn't want to go to MLG just to make "easy money" I guess, well it worked oO

Stephano 2 - 1 Grubby
Stephano 2 - 1 Bischu
Stephano 2 - 0 Sase
Stephano 4 - 2 TAiLS

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.


This is the hardest tourney that has ever happened in SC2.

You have weeks between GSL matches to study your opponent and relax, prepare, get in a mental state, etc.

In MLG, if you start in the open, you play non-stop basically.


Ya I also think this is the hardest tournament (of course thanks to all the Koreans) but not because there is no time to prepare. In the GSL, both players have time to prepare so it pretty much evens out. I think MLG is more difficult just because of the number of quality players you have to go through in order to make it to the championship bracket, while in the GSL, there often seems to be "weaker" code S players that you need to go through first.


Yup, they are totally different tournaments. The mental fatigue must be hard. Sure, you get a second shot and you might have to deal with extended series in some cases. MLG is a grind especially if you aren't seeded.

Funny thing is a lot of guys actually win without a seed. =D

Hey Enlgish speakers~

Which word is best fit for Leeknock?

fat, chubby, stout, overweight, plump, obese, corpulent...

None of those. Maybe plump cheeks but everything else has terrible connotations.

It's sad that fat has been made into an insult.

Going back to the original question, the most gentle way to put it for me would either be plump or round (although round could describe a lot of other things).


When has calling someone fat not been considered an insult?

i don't like this system. the only advantage coming from the winners bracket is that you're allowed to play on from behind after losing a bo3? the standard is 2 bo3s and the one coming from winners bracket only has to win one of them, which i like more tbh.


How about that Leenock had to win like 30 games, and Naniwa only had to win, what, 8? Seems like a pretty good advantage to me.

what does the fact that leenock happened to come through the open bracket while naniwa was seeded because of his success throughout the season have to to with the way the final will be played?

omg, please stop this. He have beaten MVP in a bo3, and Neaste in 2 bo3. Also he has beaten DRG amongst others. You dont think he deserves that spot?
To be brutally honest, I think working your way up from Code A ---> Code S is the only legit way. But MLG and GSL want to do business, so I guess MLG is one form of entry? If only Naniwa played through the Open bracket and still won the MLG national finals, then the Code S is deserved undoubtedly.

Anyway, all this is airy talk as the only thing that matters now is leenock v Naniwa


MMA failed in Code A multiple times as well, got an MLG spot in Code S, won Code S.

At least MMA reached the up and down matches. Nani hasnt won a game in code A

ZvZ has evolved into an awesome matchup since the fungal nerf. And people bashed me when I said Fungal made ZvZ boring

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).


That total bs. TvT is a better matchup than TvP right now.

As I've said, it might be boring for some, but it's the one matchup out of SC2 and BW where everyunit is viable.

Total bs indeed, zvz and pvp still look pretty much the same while TVT has evolved so much that I don't think it's even questionable that it's by far the best mirror.


ummm, guys opinions anyone?



I'm actually loving zvz and pvp. They are now true tests of player skill again:D

Maybe that guy a few quotes up didnt watch this tourney cuz pvp and zvz are wayyyyyy higher skill level.

This mlg is awesome

I always liked zvz and pvp over tvt. tvt is just a slower, lamer version of zvz.

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)


I believe MMA has to beat Oz in the Ro8 to surpass MC in GSL points.


Which he will of course.

Can you tell me the euromillions lottery numbers?

And so it has come to this.

The awkward foreigner Protoss who no one likes, but who represents the last foreigner hope, and who has done more for the competitive level of the foreigner's scene than any other player this MLG (except for maybe the Banjo), and who intends to show his anti-fans just what he is capable of ...

... Against the 16 year old Korean Zerg prodigy on the run of his life, who has overcome the entire open bracket, against stiff opposition, to make it here, in the grand finals. The next generation of Korean SC 2, poised to show the foreigner world that they are not prepared ...

Both have such stories behind them, that either one would have been sufficient for another tournament. But here they are, both gathered in Providence, to meet their fate.

Whose story will have a happier ending?


Lol speak for yourself I like nani and I am sure many others do.

Although I do want Leenock to win because I don't really care much about the korean vs the world stuff and leenock has been playing like a beast this MLG

The awesome thing about this is that who wins this grand final isn't even that important. They're both huge winners already. Naniwa has Code S guaranteed and Leenock is already the first player in the "Korean MLG" era to make the grand final from the open bracket.


forget the 50 grand



its only a 25 grand difference though. therefore not important


Wow, how can you say 25k is a small difference? Maybe for the broodwar pros and the SC2 superstars, but I'm sure it matters for both Naniwa and Leenock (specially Leenock, who is still in school and plays part-time).
