Yeah Alicia didn't win. MKP lost. To ostubborn to produce the requisite viking count!

For me it works like this - cheering for:
My favourite players > protoss underdogs (doesnt matter if korean) > foreigners (when vs koreans) > underdog zergs (doesnt matter) > favourite protoss (like MC). Then it mostly doesnt matter, always cheering agains korean terrans though, 1/1/1 left too deep scars in my heart :p

is this a best of 3 or 5?

Sick play and storms! Alicia hwaiting!

But he had better units and MKP didn't have enough viking against the colossus and no ghosts against high templars. The outcome was clear. its ok hes right. terran should be able to build 1 pf and it has to survive a 200/200 army >.>
Lol yeah I wasn't aware of that hahaha

I don't really understand. But I'm glad you have a system.

didn't know tda was in the map pool

Did anyone else notice a guy sleeping in the crowd?

Man, it's like the Elder Wand concept from Harry Potter. Monster was on a sick run earlier, but was stopped by Alicia, and now Alicia is on a sick run. Clearly Alicia is in possession of the Elder Mouse right now

Please, no PvZ grand final

Yep Zealots can take a beating and they are just fine!

And you and all of your kind do have to post this crap every time, every single tournament, why? Nobody ever posts saying they are not watching anymore, unless when the last white guy is knocked out. I'd like to understand why. Does it feel better to throw a meaningless bitter jab to show that foreigners' pride is still there, even if their skills are not? Is it some kind of "you will have your prestige, money, and whatever comes with skill, but never popularity, unless you look like one of us" protest? Or maybe "A Korean may have won, but foreigners won in our hearts" statement? Which one is it? umm nothing in that guys post was bitter at all. Yours came off like quite the jerk/self righteous post though. If he wants to cheer for foreigners and is less interested after they are out, then what is the problem with that? Do you watch any sports? Do you watch every single game that involves people you are not cheering for? Yah.. thought so. Do I have the need to post every single fucking time "these guys won, I'm out"? No. This is just deflating comment for those excited for the matches. Why does anyone need to shit on others' joy?
Gracious exit. Players that lost just pack their stuff and go. Fans should do the same.

Really happy that Alicia is doing so well this MLG! You always see Alicia around in those CSN interviews at the Slayers house and he seems like such a nice guy and it's great that he is finally making a big splash in the scene. I'm sure all of Slayers are really excited to see him do so well!

What is this Alicia didn't win nonsense that I'm reading?
So when your opponent messes up, you don't get credit for winning?
You guys do realize the purpose of competitive gaming is to force your opponents to make more mistakes than you do?
TL fanboyism is crazy...

Nothing against Alicia, but DRG - Alicia is a lot harder to sell than DRG-MKP. :/

Anyone else's stream flickering like crazy that could cause epileptic seizures?!

I'm a little biased, but it's not a final w/o Terran 
Although PvZ is much better than any mirror, TvT reluctantly included.
