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. | ||

Maybe that's one of the reasons as to why Starcraft has been so popular in Korea for many years now and not in the western world. Their culture is more about politeness and respect - as soon as it comes to us we start seeing unacceptable and disgusting things like booing a player off stage. People will have to grow up just a little more if E-sports is going to have it's great breakthrough outside of Korea. EDIT: I realize i sound very pessimistic in my post - i do not by all means accuse everyone in the starcraft community of doing those things. It just makes me sick when some people do, though. | ||

He always showed such great play so early on. We all know how he'd get 'bad luck' and face top notch players and get knocked out of GSL right away. It was very frustrating as a Leenock fan! But even him getting knocked out he never played particularly bad, he just got outplayed by better players. Such is life. He'd show things though which set him apart from other Zergs which is what i loved most about his play. He would build more than one spine crawler for defense while other Zerg would leave expos completely undefended and lose them to single medivac drops. He's the only guy to really use baneling mines. Well, him and NesTea, but Leenock really took Banelings to a level NesTea couldn't be bothered (or didn't need to). I remember once Jinro commented on how annoying baneling mines were, but we never saw them! Jinro then revealed he practised a lot with Leenock. It's no wonder. Leenock also had some of the best bunker rush defense ever. Terran would bunker his natural and he'd calmly destroy the rush every single time without fail. You knew he'd never lose to a bunker rush. Although MMA decided recently to 2 rax bunker rush, which punished Leenock. But he made it out of his GSL group and looked really good in doing so. The underlying story of The Leenoctopus has been his juggling act with School and SC2. Every time he'd lose, i'd be thinking in the back of my mind "if only he was full time...". It's the same with Nada. It's difficult seeing players lose knowing that they are being held back by something. You can call it an excuse, just like jetlag. It's real, and it hurts the viewing knowing that one guy isn't able to play at 100% of what he could. To have Hwanni now say that Leenock doesn't go to school is like the final piece of the puzzle. Finally, the shackles are off. The Leenocktopus has been unleashed, and he is now Champion of Earth. I'm so happy. according to hwanni he doesn't go to school | ||

I appreciate that an LR thread isn't the place to have a serious discussion since everyone's blood is running hot, but you're really in no position to go off like that. Calm down. I rather like Nani. I'm protoss, he's not my favourite player, but I'm glad to see any P do well. But what I really don't like to see is foreigners fail over and over again in the GSL. It makes the MLG program look like a joke when pretty much nobody gets out of the first round of code A after being flown over. Nani has had this happen more times than any other, and now after doing so he's jumped the queue in just three sets and is now in code S. Of course I don't speak for the netizens, but it's not like you do either, and I think it's pretty undeniable that a lot of people really don't like him. If you need proof, just look at the crowd. It also doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise he's going to cop a lot of heat from Korean audiences for the nestea fiasco. With a reputation like his, and a history like his, getting smashed out of code S next season would damage his legitimacy almost to the point of no return for a ton of fans. It's make or break time next season, I think. I already replied to your other post, and apparently you missed it, but what Nestea fiasco? There's a thread floating around where it is explained in detail why Naniwa didn't cheat and didn't mean to be bm, and that he and Nestea were interacting (if not talking - language barrier) on good terms when not on stage. | ||

These fast 1 base all ins are very boring and I wouldn´t have stayed up if I knew it was gonna be 3 hatch cancel cheezes. I think it is much more entertaining and skillful when you have lots of macro to keep track on as well as maxed out and diversed armies. The skill curve goes way up the more you have to take into account and that´s why I like Naniwas longer games with sick micro/decision making. I don´t like classic 4 gates, 6 pools/roach 1 base or bunker rushes etc because the skill of the players are much more limited since there are very fewer decisions to be made. If say sc2 would have 8min games on averege I would never watch any matches. | ||

Lebron gets boo'd by every city for a decision to move to miami and things off the court. You don't need absolute respect for everyone and be lovey dovey to become big. | ||
