I'm wondering what would everyone think about at least having 1 race of each in the groups to make it a better viewing experience for the spectators. I can't think of any side effects of this. | ||

Game 1: 2 base collosus all-in Game 2: 4 Gate All-in against triple orbital plus teching Keen No idea why the casters say the games are great. Foreigner beating a korean, it's a rare thing so people are just happy to get it any way they can. | ||

Just another silly thing you can do when you're buildings fly, an ability that Keen seems to be in love with. He should have scanned Naniwa's natural after holding off the pressure. Also, stop with the passive aggressive bullshit. Keen floated buildings to try and force a draw. Naniwa all-ined two games in a row. Neither are things this community likes. | ||

He could have at least scanned with his 3rd Orbital for confirmation, it would have been a late scan but he might have had time to build enough defenses to hold. | ||

He has fans because he's a great player. He made me a fan when I saw how last year his determination to get 1st and his utter disappointment in himself when he gets anything less. | ||

Keen couldn't see the Stargate, the only reason to do that smiley face was to the viewers, and it looked pretty suspicious. I'm not normally the one to call cheating, but it was a very suspicious circumstance, especially considering he did exactly what the casters were recommending. If there was any way to hear the casters etc then other competitors, especially naniwa would have brought it up to DH by now. You know how anal these guys are about cheating or losing an advantage. Unless you're suggesting a massive foreigner conspiracy of course where everyone knows about it and doesn't say anything, in which case you're psychotic and should be committed. In addition, if Naniwa was cheating, would he be stupid enough to communicate with the audience during a match? Lol @ the rationale for some of these arguments . . . Edit: Cheating is a valid concern for online games imho, but not LAN play. | ||

With going toe to toe you mean horribly losing every macro game he played vs Squirtle right? Methinks you just a terran fanboy that can't stand them finally being shoved from their +50% in all matchups throne. | ||

NaNi knows Keen rushed Squirtle in gsl after losing game one, so he responded with a 4gate. Keen caught the probe after throwing down the 3 rax so he threw down a base and bunkers. NaNi pokes, made it look like he was only poking with stalkers and expanding instead. Keen throws down another base and a factory, NaNi busts in. The game itself was a 4gate vs. 3base +tech, but getting there was the interesting part. | ||

When naniwa wins with early/midgame agression hes a shitty protoss who only knows all-ins. Consistency much? You're taking a large group of people, and saying that some thing that some people say is not consistent with some thing other people say. That doesn't make sense... different people don't need to be consistent with each other. That being said, I think all the whining and trash talking is ridiculous. | ||
