Pretty sure no golds in the middle of the map. Most tournaments seem to be going that way.

Wrong. Pro should not be silent if playing conditions are not optimal.

Sure they should. It's called be professional and providing the entertainment that the fans want and sponsors expect.

To what degree? What if a tournament forced them to play one race, without a chair, on the KR server on Steppes of War while lagging.
The pros shouldn't say anything because they're doing what the fans and sponsors want right?
Fuck no, SC2 is about the players more than anyone else.

Lag is not the end of the world. It's more like playing football in the rain.

And it's not about the players more than anyone else. It's a symbiotic relationship between players, fans, casters and sponsors. Without all of them none of this is possible.

Without players, there is no scene
Without sponsors, there is still a scene, it's not funded
Without casters, there is still a scene, it's not casted
Without fans, there is still a scene, it's not popular

Without the players, you can have nothing else.

But without Naniwa (or any player x) there are still other players to take his place.

You missed the point.

You french are the same when stephano loses so don't laugh at others.

how can you even compare Stephano and Naniwa's professionalism, I don't think Stephano ever misbehaved or annoyed the hell out of the admins of a tournament.


Stephano never misbehaved? do you remember Asemmbly Summer vs Brat_OK?

I'm defending him too.

Aussie pride.

You defend everyone looking at your sig lol...

Because many TL posters are morons who shit on a player because they're completely ignorant about them.

And I don't defend everyone...I don't like Socke.

How can you not like Socke? :O


Wow indeed Socke is like the most chill dude out there.

Get the pichforks !!!

Winner won the group, but it meant they would play Sen in the next round. Neither wanted that so they played a stupid bo3 with silly strategies. In the end Stephano won the game and beat Sen though.

I believe they were, allegedly, trying to lose on purpose to avoid a strong player in bracket, not 100% sure though
you're wrong

I think more players should refuse to play if the standard doesn't improve. I don't think anyone would have been raising pitchforks if players had refused to play in PPSL.

I wish Blizzard would care just a little bit about SC2 as an e-sport and if not LAN at least implement a tournament version.

Both players tried their best to lose the game, because the winner of it would have to face Sen. The games were something like proxy-hatch vs 1-Base-BC.

You cannot be serious, the fans are the most important. There will always be players but it's starcraft's popularity makes it so great, big tournaments with big prize money provided by sponsers because of the fans.

If its all about the players why don't you go and watch some pro Company of Heroes.

This is just Ladder map, but with depots at bottom of ramp? Weird. Why not cross only and no gold, poor choice.
