This is going to be awesome! There is more skill in this qualifier than there has ever been in any North American LAN. While it's not quite GSL, the competition level will be pretty similar, and it will be broadcast during reasonable hours for Americans. I'm so pumped!

Oh yea Papa WhiteRa trying to qualify in Korea!!
|
Awesome! I have been looking forward to watching this. I want NesTea to win this.

Inca knows how to 4gate to perfection.

This is in no way what so ever trying to bash MLG, the casters, or anything else.
I have been looking forward to this so much since it was announced and I am sure there will be a lot of great games and lots of entertainment produced througout the season.
This means I have been hyping it up like crazy to my non-esport friends I live with.
What happens right away? One of the casters show up in his bedroom.
Now that's fine. I don't care where the caster is when it's an online event.
What I care about is that my friends instantly laughed at the whole thing because they didn't even make him put up a black sheet as a backdrop. It just looks so amateurish and extremely low budget.
Anyone else have thoughts about this?

I'm of the opinion it was no bueno for WhiteRa.
|
Why doesn't white-ra play safer? He keeps doing builds that flat our lose to a decent 4gate....
