Just tuned in to stream 2, battlecruisers in TvP? Can someone explain wtf is going on? The result is meaningless, since they both are already through. So they are just messing around.  Didn't that get naniwa into a lot of trouble? Like others are saying, there's a difference between petulantly a-moving probes and taking his hands off the keyboard, and MKP/MC putting on a fun showmatch. Sure, both are "throwing" the match, but there are different degrees, and one is a much more acceptable form of behavior than the other. Think of it in real sports terms. Two football teams are forced to play meaningless matches (not against each other). One football team decides to "throw" its last meaningless match by sitting out and pouting. The other team decides to take 30 meter shots on the goal every chance it gets, and tries to do a lot of fancy footwork and tricks. Which team do you think will be lambasted by the media? There's also something to be said for NaNi's method of not wasting the audiences time. Most people want to see players try their absolute best or just not play at all. I agree. I don't want to see players just fucking around (ingame) for 30 minutes. I actually turned off this MC vs. MKP travesty. Korean are always professional... hypocrites. I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed that game
Yeah I'd prefer watching a crazy showmatch-style game over nothing anyday. If you don't want to watch it, you can always tune out - but probe-rushing at the beginning of a game denies viewers any sort of game at all. I didn't think what Naniwa did was that bad but it is pretty obvious that it is less acceptable than goofing around with fun builds.

It's gonna be so hard for grubby to advance he got to beat sound and dimaga got to lose to Darkforce.

As someone who is learning a language it always amazes me how good these guys are at speaking fluently.

I think TL needs a new rule where if you bring up Nani when he's not playing it's a warning. It'd make these threads so much better.

yea  I had a feeling the winner of Dimaga vs Grubby would be the second spot. It's also darkforce dimaga has to lose to, not nightend
dimaga also has the better mapscore because he went 1-2 vs sound while grubby's loss is 0-2

I really hate bringing it back up again, but how is he wrong exactly? There's just the fact that more people hated to see the probe rush, but there are definitely some guys who hate to see a fake game between MC & MKP as well, so it's the same boat in some people's eyes.
They are both advancing already so it would be stupid to show serious builds when they might have to play again later on? Anybody complaining should do so on reddit.

If there's high level play, there'll be viewers. Empty tournament games like this are worse than ladder, there's no value in them.

No?
If Grubby beats sound 2-0, he will have 4-2 in maps, while Sound will have 4-4.
