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! | ||

HuK couldnt get a solid 4th base up. It denied him from teching up to BL, investor army. Also, Stephano doesnt seem up to his normal strength today  Great game by Naniwa though. | ||

"The best two foreigners" down 0:1 against the underdogs, and Dreamhack trolling EG more than MLG. Wow, I've missed a lot :O WTF. Also were the games till now good ? Between this event and MLG, it's turning out to be a huge mindfuck. | ||

IdrA is 1-1. HuK is 1-1. Orly is 0-2. All 2-0s. If HuK 2-0s Orly, as is likely, IdrA's chances of advancing are miniscule - he has to 2-0 Puma to even have a chance in a three-way tie-break. If he drops just one game to Puma, he'll not advance. | ||

Stephano is no fluke either, hes just over hyped by some people. He may be the highest paid foreigner when it comes to prize money but I would hardly call him the best foreigner. | ||

I'm just sick of casters thinking Zerg has this mysterious advantage even though their army is literally half the size of the Protoss army (and half the strength besides). I'm just sick of, "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE NANIWA HELD OFF FIVE ROACHES AND 10 HYDRAS." Day9 was the only one completely bored with that push. | ||

The 2nd game Stephano couldnt play his normal game due to Nani denying his great macro game. We don't have to forget about the mental status either! Once you manage to beat Nestea.....TWICE (!)....then I guess you have to feel really, really good about your PvZ. As in every competitive sport, confidence is of tremendous importance. | ||

It's absurd to see this game as "Stephano getting figured out", he was outplaying with ease, and then stopped playing for no apparent reason.Wheres the terrifying quick hive + spine play ive seen stephano play so well? He did a "Nestea vs MVP" thing, where he could have won with his left foot, but instead something happened and he suddenly made all the only moves that could have possibly lost him the game. (I don't think Nestea lost that game on purpose, by the way, and same for Stephano, but I have no idea what happened in their heads in these situations) | ||
