I thought that people were angry about him "forfeitting" the tournament because of it, but then it got resolved I guess? Either way, it sucks for everyone so let's not try to start arguments.

ok the first day was a joke, at least hope for some better games tomorrow, please do something with this pc's work all the night if you have to ( if the problem is actually with the pc's ), if it's a b.net 2.0 issue then go and trow a granade at blizzard's central office

On another point, why do Koreans play so much worse at IEMs than almost every other tournament out there? Zenio is playing half as good as he was in Code S (which still wasn't his best), JYP did pretty badly at the Changzhou [sic] tournament etc


Zenio's playing pretty close to how he plays in GSL.

He played a few bad sets there, but also some pretty good ones. I am not some high-level analyst but his play here thus far has been far, far below what we've seen from him before.

I don't know what I should think about this... and Naniwa played quite disappointing,
not the mechanics but in fact that he was using every single game in his PvPs the
2 Gate Blink aggression. Of course it worked out very well but it was a bit boring to watch

Gotta love Nani man, think he's going to take this tournament actually, but we'll have to wait and see.

I don't think so personally. His games today remind me of his play from code A matches, up n downs and code S.

The lag has been really bad the whole day and for example Nightend didn't go though his group because of it. Naniwa got mad after losing his first match vs Strelok because of the lag and said he would forfeit the tournament but he later got it together and went into beast mode and just crushed WhiteRa and TITAN thus getting first in his group. All his haters are mad as fuck right now because they got so happy when he said he would forfeit

Some interview is going around, apparently Naniwa's computer has issues as well and he was experiencing far worse lag than anyone else.

Incidentally, I missed some of the early stages and now feel silly for buying into some of the Titan hype, at least looking at his results. How'd he actually play?

TITAN played really well vs. Naniwa which was the only series I saw with him, really solid play and I think he got great potential
