Socke going 2 gas. Sase 1 gas.
Sase went early Core/faster stalker.

I want socke to win his group so badly... I wish grubby could've made it to the winners bracket too... he almost had MKP beat on friday and it would've been enough So painful.

Oz, I rarely ever want you to win, but please beat DRG!
 Oz is actually one of the better Protoss players who doesn't rely on gimmicks like a lot of the big name ones

Sase going 3 gate, presumably some kind of 3 stalker rush. Socke is going stargate.

Socke needs to beat SaSe and then DRG lose vs Oz. Would be the best thing ever.

Who is casting the kespa invitational? Tastosis?
Sincerely hope so and not Rob Simpson cast any, best games deserve the best casters which is why I thought Day9 absence as a caster is a big blow for such occasion

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. I highly doubt that.
I am pretty sure everyone loves MK

I'm pretty sure the majority if SC2 viewers these days didn't watch BW.
I watched maybe 3 games of BW in my life, never played it, but I am way more hyped for the Kespa players and the tournament than the actual MLG.

Alicia,Polt,Rain,JYP,Ganzi are average koreans lol? 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
yeah don't mind the Stephano haters, not the brightest bunch...

I think you're confusing me saying those players are average for saying Stephano isn't good, which is not what I'm saying at all. Do you want me to tell you Stephano is good? Will that make you happy?
Alicia, JYP, Rain, Ganzi have no big tournament wins and little success in Code S of course they are average.
