-_- because 1base vs fast greedy 3base with no scout is really comparable with anything at all.


And nexus first is what? not greedy? I'm failing to see your point. Both all ins are strong vs greedy builds.


fast expand builds are supposed to be the "counter" to 1-1-1.
There is no counter to 1-1-1, there only some specific builds that give you some kind of chance winning against it.

Paywall really sucks. I don't think this is a good thing for esport, better make it like the other tournaments, free low quality and ticket for higher quality and vods. Thats just fair! I really hate this new MLG policy.

Ummm, so does the pay wall works this time?

I´m still kinda pissed off over the fail that was the last Arena(I payed back then) and I was wondering if I should bother paying

Anyone else having trouble with the stream? All I get is the 'go to MLG live page to watch'-splashscreen while I am on MLG live.

Everyone wants these epic macro games... Why in MKPs shoes would you play to your opponents strengths? Late game protoss against one of the best late game protoss vs terran players.


He can do whatever he wants, it doesn't change the fact that the fans want to see a longer game between these two.

It's just disappointing as a spectator.


Speak for yourself
If SC2 was nothing but 30min macro games it'd be boring


If you want to watch games with one base all-ins good for you but you're in the minority.

That's not what he's saying.
He is saying variety is good
and a lot more of the creative builds are cheesy


Yeah he's right but this is the matchup that I wanted to see longer games in out of everything in the entire tournament, meh.


Also have to keep in mind these guys are going to be playing a tonne of games over the next three days, they have to do these builds. Imagine how fatigued you would get played macro games every set.

I never got that logic. I always thought progamers play 20 games or more every day anyway... atleast in Korea where they train hard. So that shouldn't be any problem to play 10 games or so in a macro style. Maybe that argument fits if they are still jet lagged and that might be the case for today.



Sitting around in your room playing on ladder is not playing in front of people, and thousands online.

Looks like the "Artosis pylon" thing is now some sort of taboo between them. And to be fair these pylons scenarios occurs quite often, so in the end i can understand if Artosis gets a little bit annoyed by this.


But that's what makes it funny.

Why are we arguing this? You just heavily implied that the 1-1-1 is comparable in strength to 1base 3gate Immortal bust. What point are you trying to prove here?

Oh well T_T MLG ought to learn from IPL.

Anyway that was fun, I wonder why they put the paywall on Heart vs viOlet as well.

Still an interesting series, but it was nothing like the MKP vs Parting we saw at GSTL and earlier.

I was really just hoping for at least 1 macro game...

The paywall doesn't go up until after game 3 though
