Muta dancing was ok but otherwise it was just a clicking lings... Sc2 ZvZ has was more micro and decision making to offer than BW showed in that game that just passed. I mean I really enjoy BW so far but I don't understand why ppl go crazy about games like this (or the ZvT from SKT1 match). edit/ or did I just miss the /sarcasm? ^^ I find ZvZ in both BW and SC2 a bit lame... Shouldn't really judge based on one match of either. But perhaps you should watch maybe the first 40 of Day[9]s Dailys to get a deeper understanding of BW. It is a fantastic game. | ||

It's like when you watch Nerchio owning everything ran in Europe and your consideration of him raises exponentially, and then he just gets rolled by the first random korean he faces, which is what will happen the first time BWpros will be allowed in tournaments with codeS players. (Most likely the Kespa-MLG tournament based thingy should allow that). I came here to collect my reward made of a "I TOLD YA, I EFFIN TOLD YA ALL" look. Games were even worse than standard Korean Masters, actually. | ||

You realize most people, probably the same guys who predicted Fin to be the next GSL champion, were raving on how good and skilled these guys were, and how are they about to dominate the SC2 scene? Go read some comments in the "Flash vs Kawaiirice" posts/topics around the internet and have a laugh. "3 months for flash to reach high level" was the general consensus after that VOD. Hilarity ensues. | ||

If we support it, we want to let the organizers know, and we can only do that through viewer count. PLEASE, open the official stream muted in another tab at least, just so that we send a clear signal of interest and support. Only more good things will come if we show increased interest, but they can only reliably reference official stream views, so let's get on it!.

In all fairness, most of them were SC2 fanboys who hop on every bandwagon known to man and think mass BCs maxed army vs maxed mothership/archon toilet is an exciting game just because Tastosis gets hyped. | ||

Now, thinking about it, I am not since I predicted Masters level, but at best these were Diamond level games. The micro was still terribly off, probably none even told Flash that he could split marines, and basically none of them showed even the slightest hint of the current metagame, it wasn't even an old metagame, it was Special Needs metagame. I think they made the units while reading the descriptions of them while they were playing. User was banned for this post. | ||
