I mean, we have a link for a stream that costs 20$. Paying for free commercial? Come on, proofread or something..and yes, if an event is PPV and it is being advertised in the stream bar it means they have payed a certain sum of money. | ||

Since many Zergs follow the Stephano roach max in the early-mid game, and late-game is usually only lost if the Zerg doesn't split their Brood Lords, I am not surprised. I always thought Zerg would start to excel in the match-up once they learned to spread their Brood Lords. This tournament looks just like my PvZ. As people have pointed out though that may be because a lot of the top tier Protosses are missing. There's no PartinG, Squirtle, or NaNiwA. Oz got eliminated really quickly because of PvP of all things. Meanwhile, the top Zergs are all over this tournament. Stephano, DRG, Symbol, Violet, and Leenock (even though his ZvP is pretty bad). | ||

As much as terran hates toss late game, toss hates zergs period. at least a terran can win mid game, toss can't win early, mid, or late game vs zerg. Please stop with the balance whine......I'm starting to drown in the salty tears. Please go to the battle.net forums for that. | ||

Im high master terran, although I play zerg sometimes and I think its mid master level.. And how come you say its "exclusively luck"? That seems a little bit arrogant, honestly. You can scout properly now with the overlord speed and even before it was just fine.. I mean, if you`re 15 hatch and he`s going 10 pool, sure, you may be behind, but its not like its IMPOSSIBLE to beat that, I`ve seen players like TSL Ryun dominating a guy who went 10 pool.. And Ryun went 15 hatch 17 pool.. | ||

They certainly are, they would not happen otherwise, it's too expensive to fly 32 players over with full room and board, especially since many of them are Korean,. which is why no other free-view tournament actually does that. MLG also saves a decent amount by not making it a full-on event and keeping it at their HQ. No venue, less staff, less setup, less equipment, no travel expenses for their staff (aside from you fine gentlemen), etc... etc... | ||
