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. | ||

Naniwa is so misunderstood this tournament with the drama and all. And that people actually booed makes me sick. Sure chear for whoever you want but shit like booing is nothing but a dickmove. He is going to be so angry with himself after this. Hope he is not to critical of himself and let it fuel his practice instrad. Nani will be back, that's for sure. Plus he gets a Code S spot now, hope he takes it. | ||

People can complain all they want, but Leenock's fast roaches was the exact, and perhaps only thing, a zerg can do to punish Naniwa's build. Exactly. I don't get why people call it cheese when what Leenock did was scout a weakness, counter it and deny any attempts by Naniwa to scout his counter. If anything Naniwa was "cheesing", since he continued to do greedy builds. | ||

As a spectator, I personally hated every single game Leenock played against NaNiWa. I understand "It's a tournament, he does what it takes to win" but watching a Roach Rushx3 +7pool series is NOT entertaining to me. I'm not a Leenock fan in the first place, and while I'm not a NaNiWa fan either, it sucks to see someone go down like this. I personally feel really bad for NaNiWa. He gets told by NesTea pre-game that he's going to crush him, after he already beat NesTea once, proceeds to pause for a confirmation on the map, and gets hated on. Wins the series, finally comes out of his shell a little on-stage, and gets vilified for it. I think this quote from Slasher says a lot: NaNiWa has had people rooting against him from Day 1 of this event, and it just kept compounding. You could see on stage after he became the villain of the weekend, he kept his words and emotion to a minimum, and to hear the crowd being against you every game can really hurt your mentality. Congratulations to Leenock for winning MLG Providence 2011, he came from the Open Bracket and did the seemingly impossible. I'm personally hugely disappointed in the MLG Providence audience as a whole, and the ESPORTS community for their NaNiWa hate this weekend. Leenock outplayed NaNiWa in the finals, that's a given, but the play was not inspiring or exciting for anyone who isn't a Leenock fan. NaNiWa accomplished something no foreigner has ever done, or was expected to do this weekend, and got nothing but vilified for it. Good luck in the Blizzard Cup to both players, best of luck to NaNiWa in Code S next season. aLive better crush Leenock this season. + Show Spoiler + 2000th Post Very nice #2k. My hat off for you. I don't want to see Leenock crushed, but other than that i agree with everything. | ||

I don't know why people are suddenly up in arms and complaining that it's insanely greedy. It's more the only 1 cannon thing as opposed the FFE itself though | ||
