Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment. In addition leave the usual out of this topic: -Balance complaints -Map complaints -Stream complaints -Caster/player bashing -Off topic discussions Logically continue this list with things that are obviously frowned upon. Enjoy the free and wonderful event with loads of games and coverage! | ||

He wins numerous big events in 2 months then only makes it to the top 32 out of 64 in DH and suddenly he sucks. | ||

Yeh they made the sad zealot fanclub more to gather protoss and hope someone came along, that thread now has gone to hell and it is full of balance whines, but msot of them came from Zergs and Terrans coming in and stirring the pot looking for a reaction. When did a terran every complain in the last couple of months? You have to be kidding me right? In the last few months protoss was whining all over the place, you hardly ever saw a zerg or terran complain. And yet again you blame the other races: "its Z and T player's fault that we complain so much, protoss is innocent." Lame | ||

I don't think Americans were rooting for the Koreans as much as they were rooting against Naniwa with some of the comments he made. I'm not giving an opinion on the matter, just pointing out how things went down. | ||

Anyway, there's a break now as far as I recall they'll do the next games in like 30-45 minutes. There is a lot of desperation to find a non-Korean powerhouse. Stephano rode the hype train right into several brick walls when people (not too many admittedly) were saying he was better than Nestea, Naniwa repeatedly bombed out of Code A etc. Really the foreign scene is deeper than it looks, and nobody in it is truly better than the rest. While the Korean scene is exactly as deep as it looks and there's a few players who are emerging as the best of the best (MVP primarily, Nestea until very recently). | ||

You can go to the casters page of Twitch.tv (click on the "view on twitch.tv" link at the bottom of each stream) There you'll find the unedited raw footage. | ||

Thorzain steamrolled TSL like a motherfucking boss, but now he's hardly even a contender for good placements at big tournaments anymore. I will say, what sjow and thorzain have in common is that they are not really fast players, so the more the game is played well with multiple agressions,(...), the more they will not be as dominant as before. Don't really know for jinro | ||

I never saw him doing things like that, he maybe was asleep or/and slightly drunk by the party he had yersteday xD Btw if he keeps preparing tourneys by ladderind 2h every 2 days he won't go far, comon stehano you have such a great potential but you're so lazy TT Canceling or not canceling doesnt matter, you still get refunded 75% of the minerals, its just that most pros and especially CASTERS just dont seem to know that. For that reason i find it extremely mind boggling why blizzard introduced these "canceled" animations, as it is completely irrelevant. The only thing you lose if you dont cancel the hatch, is the drone, but most of the time the drone would die anyways, therefore it really doesnt matter. Im pretty sure stephano knows about the full refund and therefore rightfully doesnt pay attention to something that he doesnt NEED to pay attention to. | ||

So how many big tournaments did he won? Y, 2 events. And there was this trend that on every show they would just say "oh Stephano will obviously win he is the best European [...]" etc. So this hastily claiming who is the "best foreigner" (talkin about IdrA, Naniwa, Stephano) applies also to Incontrol etc. | ||

And wow IdrA, ThorZaIN and Stephano ( 1-6 wtf?! ) are out O_o Looks like Stephano is not the best zerg of Europe after all he lost to Goody in semis (Battle for Berlin) and now he is out in 2nd day... imagine only winning 3 major tournaments in the last month or so, what a scrub!  but yeah, he was outclassed by sheth, vs nani was weird, he kept making roaches, just straight up died, and i think he just gave up against cloud, didn't see the games though.. Kas is going to take it, calling it now!  | ||

With all the patching it is very volatile, one player might find a strong strat for a while and then the rest catch up. | ||
