There was a time in the SlayerS house where Alicia was unbeatable in the, even MMA had difficulties against him. I was there watching him at Anaheim last year, and he was really disappointed at his results; the rest of the year, he was overshadowed by MMA and the other SlayerS... When SlayerS Protoss are named, it's usually Puzzle...

But now is his time to shine. The dark horse - GL Alicia!

I don't expect Alicia to get through MKP let alone DRG, but I want it so bad. Alicia needs to finally live up to the "Chosen One" nickname.

i personally am not watching anymore, im not bitter thinking "better player lost omg joke game", the better players made it further, MKP and DRG are obviously sick good, but they dont hold any entertainment for me. i love watching foreigners.

The only word that comes to mind seeing comments like this is "racist".

I remember when people were making that excuse for Nestea losing to Naniwa. I was like..... "You do realise they were probably on the same flight..."

And there's that lol, I didn't realize it tbh, but doesn't change the fact last 3 days have been way harder on Sase then on any top-6er

Doens't change the fact that everyone is tuning out except the hardcore SC2 crowd. I'll continue watching, but most people won't. Just a fact.

And I would probably tune out if none of the top-tier players had participated. (In fact, I wouldn't have watched MLG at all if there were no top koreans).

Why aren't they hosting MLG in korea yet, no one can possibly find korean top3 at every single event intresting? Yes I'm mad.

Believe it or not there are still a lot of us who are watching because they like Starcraft. Not only the players.

I could watch MKP vs DRG all day long. They are the highest level TvZ's ever.

ye... i honstely dont like SaSe at all as a personality and i got fucking angry when stephano baneling busted because he underestimated sase... also socke wouldve been on DRGs spot with socke winning the last map against sase.

sase is simply not able to beat any top tier koreans, thats why i wouldve rather seen stephano -,-
now we have alicia as #3 who no1 likes or cares about (i guess) and then an extended series final, so the ranks are pretty much obvious from that point on - because of sase :D
still a great run obviously... but not a run i liked to see.

Bit insulting to Alicia.. I rather like him, and i think it's great that he's back on form :D Why does everyone on TL only seem to support foreigners now and call every korean "faceless" or say that nobody likes them.

MKP was the only one who looked good. Not sure what's conclusion I should draw from that.

I seem to recall TOP could just about pull it off too.

Not sure I should use the phrase "pull it off", maybe survive it would be more apt

I am consistently amazed/dismayed by the number of people in this forum who (claim to?) stop watching when the White People are gone.

i cant tell if this guy is serious

ofc he is serious... im feeling almost as he does (besides his comment on game 3 pvp... basetrading was ok, but the way and timing he did it was off).
im simply not a sase fan, he seems like a rly strange person to me in interviews. Then he wins strange games vs socke, polt and stephano, 3 fan favourites id love to see go ahead just to be beaten by ALICIA, who wouldve lost so hard to stephano i cant even describe it. not gonna watch now. the rankings are clear and i wont stay up 3 hours just to see 2-3 exciting MKP vs DRG maps in which the winner is clear cause of MLG rules and i dont even have someone to rly root for

Guys, guys, you're losing sight of the important thing here: Polt got knocked out of the Top8 of a premier tournament by a cannon rush. He'll never live this down. I hope somebody cannons him again in GSL just for the lulz.
