Realise your past comments were all about zerg being op. Why aren't you banned yet??

why would you bother to look at someones post history?

I'm very disappointed with Polt right now. He's playing without a shred of killer instinct. Always getting good leads and then throwing them away because he wants to play a straight-up macro game. No difference in builds whatsoever, no proxy rushes, no mind games...just painful to watch. This shit will not win you tournaments.


Lol none of the players cheeses in a final, resulting in some of the most exciting games in the history of e-sport and you get mad. It's fun.


I am mad. You don't win tournaments by assuming every game will last past 30 minutes. You win tournaments by proxying 2 rax on Tal'Darim Altar and catching your opponent off-guard. You win by faking out your opponent with a bunker at the natural while you go 1 base cloaked banshee.


But you are only a spectator, so you should be happy there are entertaining games instead of just fast cheese wins? Unless you find it more entertaining to watch a 6 minute 2rax game over a 35 minute actionpacked game, in which case you probably represent like 1‰ of the people watching sc2.


Why should I be happy that the games are "entertaining"? When you're a fan of a team or player you want them to win. I wouldn't care that the Knicks were playing a Showtime offense if they kept losing.


I agree. Polt isnt using enough midgames to assert an advantage here.

This two best of 5 idea is completely awful. I want Stephano to win just so it doesn't go on until 2 am. It's like someone said "I hate extended series" so they decided to do the exact opposite. It's not an issue yet, but if Polt comes back in this first Bo5 people are going to start flipping shit.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

Never said such thing, I just think that terran doesn't have a decent late game, and you have been a condescending kiddo in your past commends, this one included , why aren't you banned yet??

For some people, the action itself is the important part. For others, only the results.

Strange, how people can have differing opinions.


Entertaining games are fine and all if you don't really care about who wins.

You realize this format isnt' anything new right? A format where loser bracket finals has to win 2x bo5/7 has been used for as long as I can remember.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I wouldn't use "completely awful" but Bo7 with Stephano up 1-0 makes more sense/is shorter.

Homestory used to use Bo7 with winner up 1-0, and MSL had one Bo5 for the finals when the whole tournament was double elim.

Really? joegold joediamond using fungals one way? You should get banned since I have always said I don't think any race is imba. They can check my posts and notice that has always been what I said. You on the other hand are always whining about balance.
