This is not the place to talk about LoL viewership.
This is also not a place to caster bash/balance whine/flame, etc.
Please don't argue about how many views LoL has, or which game is better, or we will be upset.

Also, lay off Scarlett please. (added page 227) |

when SC2 hits the proleague I honestly hope KeSPA bans all these shitty BM-moves. Why though? 1) Mules can be used to repair both the tanks and the medivacs while blocking units from marines with hold position 2) Manner hatcheries can be used as a reinforcement tool while preventing a expansion from being used should the attack be held off Both had uses and banning those uses would be stupid.
Well, there are obviously times when you should call down a MULE to repair your units, but that was not the case here. It's the idea of sportsmanship. For example, you can't do elaborate celebrations after a touchdown in American football and you can't taunt your opponents by throwing the ball in the air after you make a dunk in the NBA. Same ideas and standards should apply to SC2.

Back in the BW days there was a game between Yellow(I think) and a Toss I can't remember on Requiem(Neo?). There was a disconnect in midgame so there was a remake. In the remake they both went identical builds to the first game. However Yellow got mutas like 20 seconds earlier than the previous game. This screwed up the protoss' anti-air timing and it snowballed out of control and Yellow eventually won.
Yellow then recieved alot of criticism from korean netizens. He got so much flak that he had to make an announcement to explain the situation. It turns out since Yellow spawned at a different starting location in the regame, the distance to the mineral patches gave Yellow a slightly better income which in turn made his muta timing 20 seconds faster.
In the MKP vs Stephano game this was not the case. MKP went an identical build, while Stephano modified his to punish MKPs build. Imo that was poor sportsmanship. So you think Stephano should just lose on purpose? a lot of people said the situation was equal for both players so a re-game shouldn't be a problem, then shouldn't it be more manner if he just used the same strat since MKP also went for a same strat ? Stephano is smart and he knows his stuff thats why he didn't use the same strat, however, imo it was unfair for MKP. if MKP does a different strat oh my god would you defend his decision
NO! I am a MKP's fan, but i am also a Stephano's fan. But he didn't, so what can we say ?

Brings to mind a pretty cool idea for a caster ability...ability to regen shields on units, like a transfuse type thing. Would make archons too good though

Cool Fact: Of Bracket 1 and 2.
15 of 16 players that advanced are Koreans
the one player that advanced that's nonKorean is Scarlett.
I think this player has gained a lot of fans today. Not a fun fact. This is the beginning of the end for the foreigner's scene.
Don't worry heart of the swarm will come out and they will flood back in...

the open bracket has a lot of koreans leftover...

yeah i remember all those times i chronoboosted my buildings so they would regen shields faster...

Well.
Couldn't they just avoid the build drama by just letting them choose a different map in the case of a regame where no one is ahead and one players build has been shown putting said player at a heavy disadvantage?
