small crowds
underwhelming views

How do you know that the crowd is small? We can hear that the crowd is not loud, but can you see a camera filming the crowd? (there are 4000 seats)

GO HERO. My timing is off- I blame time zones. This is REAL, Hero has a chance to take this.

We could place cameras under the desk and see if they have boners or not.........

This reminds me of the IPL (I think?) where the camera in Idra's booth kept drooping lower and lower till we were staring at his crotch in the mini-playercam window XD

Wow Naama is so good :D.
He knows that protoss can't be beaten straight up thus does some shenanigans all-ins and end up winning.
Would be so cool of a story that the last dreamhack winter winner who faded away into non-paying teams / mediocrity trained hard in order to reclaim his title :D.
Gogo I'll be cheering for you

User was temp banned for this post.

I don't understand why this guy got temp banned. It's not really a balance complaint? I mean the sc2 matchups still fluctuate so much and it's pretty common for them to be tilted in such a way that all in's are the best way to consistently win games, so if he by 'straight up' means just macroing and going for the big engagements then there are definitely cases where that isn't a viable option in a matchup.

But that doesn't mean that the matchup is imbalanced, it could just mean that it has to be played in a different way than 'straight up'. That was definitely the case with ZvP a while back when the death ball colo/void play was destroying everything, and is arguably the case in current PvZ. In current TvP, I definitely feel more scared on my protoss favorite's behalf when I see the t go 1/1/1 or some other strong timing than seeing them macro up at the moment.

It's not even close to 4000 seats in the dreamarena extreme where they are playing right now.

The night is still young my friend

It's like 8 pm eastern time and 5 pm western time in the US. Hardly prime time

I expect the finals to get much higher ratings.

AIOL!

Like usual a random ban. Naama himself sayd in his interview here : http://www.youtube.com/user/GameluxNL#p/c/63E5BE7AE8543B1F/5/GR6xFy1S-aM

that "he can't beat protoss in the late game so to win i need to be agressive on 2 or 3 bases or All-in", and yes he won the last DH winter then came to Virus wich was "the worst decision of his career" because this wasn't a solid structure, they paid their players with the money made from poker -_-. And he did NOTHING since then where he appears pretty damn good ! I really don't know what is bad in this comment and poopi is an active guy, there was NO SARCASM at all....
