Exactly. No one really cares about the pools. I'm sure the KESPA Invitational is going to have some shitty games way below the level of the pool games we're seeing now, but the crowd is going to react like Gods are playing Starcraft 2. If Flash micros a marine to kill a single probe, the crowd will probably go ape shit and start chanting his name.
People really know who this guys are ? I thought that kind of bandwagonning was only on tl/reddit... Is there anything coming up on red/blue or should i go to sleep ?
I dont give a shit about those BW players. I'm pretty sure the majority if SC2 viewers these days didn't watch BW.

Can you imagine a Tennis Grand Slam tv programme and Nadal, Djokovic or Federer's match not being aired. Some poor decisions imho...Was same with the Arenas.
Don't want oversaturation of Stephano before pool play ends most likely. Pretty sure everyone could have predicted the outcome of Alicia, Rain, and JYP. JYP is probably the only one worth casting because he has decent vZ (but Stephano also has amazing vP...)
Understandable, but Stephano is the player with the largest stream base, and once he leaves Pool play he has two series before he leaves the tournament. One of those is going to be vs. MKP. You think Stephano is going to receive a lot of coverage tomorrow?
Barring a huge upset, they're going to end up with Korean vs. Korean semis and finals. Why not show Stephano while you're still able to?
Stephano has already secured his group win, putting him in the winners semi finals, which always get broadcast on the red stream. We will be seeing a lot of Stephano.
Yeah, which makes his last series vs. JYP the highlight of this entire day for Stephano.
MLG understands that you have to build up stories to have people cheering for players, don't they? Because the SC 2 crowd is not cheering and I think I know why.
Do you really think a crowd would be more excited to see Stephano roll over average koreans multiple times? That's not building a story at all. That's just showing a better foreigner defeat a korean. We saw Stephano win in 3 games yesterday, defeating the only threat to him that's enough to show his dominance until we leave pool play.
You have to build up a player before you destroy him.
I think MKP is going to destroy Stephano, unfortunately. Not building him up before that is going to result in a one-sided series of MKP stomping Stephano and that doesn't result in a story - it results in a same old sigh from the crowd.
Socke is getting better coverage this tournament, and I'm glad for that. But Stephano is a crowd favorite when he plays, when he interviews, etc. and MLG not putting him on is costing them viewers.
Having said that, the big hype this MLG is the Kespa invitational. I think that's going to bring out a lot of viewers.
Eh? Despite Stephano being a foreigner, I'd say MarineKing is the fan favourite.
Can anyone tell me what happened to MMA? I thought he traveled to Anaheim and was supposed to be seeded into Open Bracket Winners Round 5 but when I look at the brackets (Liquipeadia and MLG), he's not on there. Did something happen?

Alicia,Polt,Rain,JYP,Ganzi are average koreans lol?
I said Polt was his only threat. And when compared to Stephano in terms of current form and recent accomplishments, the other 4 don't hold a candle to him.

This is why I hate on MC, he does really risky things that either make him look really dominant or just plain bad. The unfortunate part about this is that the majority of spectators are unable to recognize this and give MC a lot more credit than due.
And yet, he's won 9 tournaments and is far more successful than probably every other protoss combined. Lmao. Seems you're just the minority of spectators who can't realize why he makes his risky decisions.

That's what I think too (I'm a bw fan btw). Anyway, I'm gonna watch a serie or two and get to sleep.

except for polt they are very average
Its funny everytime Stephano wins the players he beats are all average or somethign els is wrong with them acording to the TL thread. Ryung bad at ZvT, Dream just bad, MC had a offday, Parting was jetlagged, Squirtle didnt want that money anyway its really hillarious to read in every bloddy tournament
