I have all streams always muted. No caster diss, but i like to see strategies part of the game and not the hype / exciting part. Some good tournaments have so awful observers ( most if some special casters do it). So observer is very important for me. And Legend is the best of all! Allways said so. If you concentrate on his mousecourser, his "cast" is better than any of the popular guys who talk. | ||

Dreamhack isn't really on the same level as MLG and IPL when it comes to overall skill present at the tournament. Still a good event but you can't really compare when it comes to talent. | ||

And that game was so much more than marauders. If thats all you saw it as, well thats just sad. And for BO wins to work, it means Squirtle chose bad builds too. Nexus first on a 2 player map? Are you serious bro? DT's against Terran? Come on thats just a terrible choice. Squirtle did not play well in the second bo5. Alive did. End of story. | ||

(Vote): 1 7.5/10. The best tournament so far in 2012 is still Lone Star Clash. Amazing how a tournament run by kids and the weirdest line-up of players ever turned out to have the best games, interviews, and filler. | ||

He obviously improved a fuckton since getting crushed by Genius at the last GSL. No I mean the matchup, not Alive's ability. (Not to take away from Alive's victory) Plus, the games weren't the highest caliber I've seen - both players were obviously really tired. I was more hyped up by the Korean commentators than the gameplay itself. | ||

I think squirtle fought hard and deserved every penny he won tonight and alive deserved the win for just playing solid all-around. Besides they both had a hand in removing the worst player from the tournament so they both rock! Great tournament IPL worth the subscription. | ||
