Contrary to popular belief Stephano is not from the States, any mindless spam asserting otherwise after this time (19:48 KST/ 5:48 AM EST/ 10:48 GMT) will meet a moderator response. We have enough confusing spam posting in LR threads these days. Lets try to keep the love for everyone's favourite French zerg reasonable.

And as always:
- No player bashing.
- No caster bashing.
- No balance whining.

Enjoy the games.

On the positive side, either way we'll have one of each race advancing.

Just so that everybody knows....

Whether or not MC wins or loses, he will advance. If he wins, he will be advance further into the bracket because he was 2nd place in the group. This means Stephano will qualify for the next round of the Blizzard Cup. If he loses, he will advance as 3rd place having to play another round, also meaning Stephano cannot advance.

There is a reason for MC to win this match, because he has to play one less series. Secondly, he doesn't hate Stephano and no one wants to see someone throw games away because he "dislikes" someone. I'm sure he likes DRG as much as he likes Stephano.

EDIT: not one less series for MC

MC playing really safe. Even warping in the sentries b4 the Nexus.

MC is already in, why playing hard?


Better seeding/opponent and also if he wins, Stephano seem to be out - so one less sick gamer against him.

Other way around, if MC wins Stephano is still in, so that "sick gamer" will still be against him.
And whether he wins or not, he won't be in 1st place so he'll still be seeded into the first round of the ro6 no matter what.

That said, I hope to see him play a sick game. Even though I want DRG to win. :p


Ah, so it's other way around. Thanks! Well, anyway both wants to win, no need to take it easy.

The game has a small importance for MC. 2nd place gets to play the 3rd place in the other group. Which theoretically, means the slightly weaker player.


Are you dumb?There is no weak players in the other group.Polt may seem off but he still got pretty high winrate against toss.


Not to mention Polt has personally destroyed MC many times.

And it's not like he can predict who 2nd/3rd on the other bracket will be.

Definitely predicting mutas for DRG, stargate might be pretty good choice.

he may or may not, still cant be called match fixing as its psychological issue, though its practically impossible to destinguish it from fixing, without blatant evidence (byun coca)

MC doesnt get to play one less series.. he will be 2nd in group if he wins, format is flawed, he has next to nothing to play for

MC's reputation helping him here...you can tell DRG is a little more careful cause MC is known to do something crazy one base business

So essentially this game means nothing to DRG and everything to MC.

Then thats really really bad for Stephano since Crossfire is well crossfire.

It's not an extra round. A2 plays B3, B2 plays A3. all 2nd and 3rd place go to the same round
