Well koreans have been winning every tournament so you can't say much else for the other foreign teams either. | ||

Huk's top 3 @ MLG winter arena is a recent, high placement. Not a win, but he placed higher than several krns. | ||

Ummm NASL season 2. Puma beat Hero a week after Hero beat Puma at DH winter. And not long before that Huk won MLG Orlando. You guys do know there was a huge lull in tournaments right? | ||

We learned that better communication is needed from the event organizer and for both parties to take a step back and relax and realize it was just a fun showmatch before angrily typing. So next time in the future everyone can just enjoy their Sunday night without rage :D | ||

You think Incontrol's private life is more public than Tom Brady or Kobe Bryant (or any pro athlete worth noting)? EL OH EL. Give your head a long, firm shake. Frankly it's starting to get incredibly frustrating reading and hearing incontrol constantly remind us how much he gives to the community and how he only gets hate in return. It sucks that it's getting this way because he's actually a smart, funny guy; but the fact remains the community supports his lifestyle 100%. There are guys out there who are more talented and grinding way harder that are getting no fan fare whatsoever and sure as shit no bank because they're not "chosen" by the community. This goes for players/casters/organizers/whatever else. It's really hard to watch this unfold and I hope incontrol is careful with these rants because if he starts to lose his fanbase its lights out for him. It's not like he's idra or HuK and if he pisses off the community he can just go win an MLG and smooth it all out. As far as the 3 month delay goes: that seems... ridiculous. I mean I know there are tournaments to prepare for but I find it shocking that you couldn't rip an hour out of your schedule to play a few games against a team mate (Which as we know from streams happens all the time anyway). You could make the case that EG just wanted to hand pick some practise games to make sure the sets were exciting and based on quality/community reaction I'm pretty confident that's not the case either. Feels like they're feeding us day old donuts the week after an epic MLG and GSL code S finals. Some seriously odd timing but I really give no shits about this whole thing so in the grand scheme producing something SHOULD be better than not putting out anything... I guess. | ||

I mean a lot of people will understand what he's going through but if 1/100 fans don't like when he does this kinda stuff that viewership will slowly start to dwindle. | ||

The delay was at most 8 weeks and most were played 2-3 weeks ago. The 3month old delay was a misunderstanding and is inaccurate. | ||
