Definitely agree. We would have never had a chance to see PuMa coming back if that rule were intact.
There will be many more examples like this. We have seen so many great Bo7 series that weren't GSL.

feels? you going with feels. okay, that settles the argument :>

When will the vods be up? Im so hyped but I missed it all!

Extended series definitely is unfair. The losing player has already been punished by losing (and having to play/win more games against other opponents). It's obvious MLG needs to change a lot of stuff for next year (and they are going to)
|
I loved dreamhack format btw I hope MLG looks into it as they reform. quarter finals should be bo5 and finals should always be bo7
|
Dreamhack finals will always be 100x epic more than MLG.
Finals are bo7 and no extended series from coming up through loser brackets.

No extended series and no massive advantage to pretty random seeds. The massive amount of groups Dreamhack did made it much more interesting.

jinro won MLG for TL, hero and huk won DH for Liquid, if any liquid zerg can win major tournament for liquid, it must be liquidzenio
|
I realise TL will have bias to TL and their players but the stuff people say about PuMa and the attitude some people have to EG in general is... beyond childish!
Immense finals though, great fun to watch and surprised PuMa managed to tie it up after the 3-1 and good job on HerO for the big win, be cool to see him in the Code S playoff game if he can beat asd this week also!

There's alot of hate for Puma because of his play style and his affiliation with EG. Does anyone think Puma wouldn't have played such all-ins if he wasn't on EG? I wonder how much a player's play style is determined by the team they are on.

You need to clean up the URL, only need this part after the youtube.com "watch?v=-DSVDcw6iW8", remove everything else

Ret won Assembly, which was pretty huge.

Not sure I'd say the extended series rule is unfair - I can see the sense in it, and I think the reasoning behind using it is solid.
That said though, I do agree that MLG should look at this and drop the rule. Personally, I prefer to see rematches as a clean slate - makes it more of a fun "revenge" style setup when one of the players doesn't start 2 games down. At least, that's how I feel.

How does the extended serier work? If the players meet again in the tournament the earlier score will still be in effect?
Thanks in advance!

TL is viewed as more of the underdog small market team whereas EG seems to be the evil big market guys that nobody wants to win. I think EG is probably used to being the villains by now, but I wonder if their sponsors ever will be :p

Ret also won the EU Bnet invitational, which had a relatively big prize pool as well.

It's not even exclusive style for him, it generally pays off to be aggressive early as terran, and most korean terrans do it pretty often. On the other hand this tournament is European, and it seems EU has the biggest "anti-cheese" bias. (in the Korean language afaik they don't even understand the word for cheese as derogatory in any way)

Ah OK, thanks!
Awesome to see Hero take it in 7 and the DH crowd was definitely among the best ever!
