I wonder what the trophy even looks like. I mean Leenocks MLG trophy must've been bad. How bad could this trophy be?

I'm pretty sure Leenock's trophy was like the regular MLG trophy but larger so it wouldn't have been a hassle.


I believe Leenocks trophy wasn't one of the regular MLG trophies. Can't be certain though.


Yeah, not the normal glass trophy, a giant metal thing.

Correction yeah that's different

But doubt it was a hassle, they probably would've cleared it with the airport prior to avoid a hassle for the player.


MLG didn't let Leenock take the trophy home, he got it way later after multiple whines from him and FXOBoss because he hadn't got it yet.

Once again, one does not simply participate into a foreigner event and not get owned by Koreans.
- One does not simply walk into a bar and start calling the shots.
- Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

TOTALLY blew me away. I'll be in the room in september!
And only 1 hour late? For a first time? Awesome! Just find a good way to end the show without being akward (this works for all tournaments so far)
GG Iron Squid and P&T! Congrats! Awesome event, keep going!

I also forgot to mention the great audience with all the posters - it was like every second person had a poster.

AND of course most importantly the games, the players, the series - stuff was at its best

MLG didn't let Leenock take the trophy home, he got it way later after multiple whines from him and FXOBoss because he hadn't got it yet.

That was entirely Leenock's fault. MLG handed and gave the damn thing to him in front of many thousands of people. Leenock asked MLG to then send it over because he was too lazy to get someone else to do it, or to get it through himself. MLG kindly agreed to do it.

It was something MLG did as a favor. Not really right to go and complain about it publicly after.

Nice tournament, really stacked line-up.

What they need to fix for the next installment is what TB mentioned on SOTG: The group stages were too drawn out over weeks and weeks, they played one group entirely, then the next, while only a few groups still benefitted from having played before an in-between patch hit (Ghost sniping being nerfed etc.).

And the sound mixing needs to be improved for the next finals show.

Nevertheless, well done!

The idea of progamers being so fast that it looks like they have multiple hands -> squid.
Iron for the fun.

By the way, I hope some commentators will take note and try to infuse more energy in their casts...
Analytical commentators aren't bad, but they are far too many currently.
GSL for instance is 100% analytical currently (wolf, khaldor, artosis : analytical, tasteless : not-entertaining anymore, so called play by play commentating to hide his ignorance).
