evo 2012 ruined sc2 esports for me... i can no longer stand all the fake excitement you get from every single sc2 event. i think the only sc2 events i have ever been truly hype for were day9's launch event and tsl3. everything else has just been nerdy awkwardness with tons of forced hype and lame crowds that only cheer when it's obviously their que

So does anybody else feel like NASL makes way to much of a spectacle out of this? They seem to forget the rule of KISS. The player entrances, the prematch show with the over-acting dude commentating on how the players got there, the chicks in skimpy clothes wandering around all over the main stage. It all just seems way overdone and over the top, as if they're trying to gain popularity with over-production and scantily-clad women.

If you look at some of the other popular tournaments it really is kept simple. At MLG you have games, followed by a short post-game analysis, sponsor ads, followed by more games. And Homestory Cup (which I know is a completely different animal) is just a bunch of dudes sitting on a couch ffs, and I really feel like those tourneys benefit strongly from the lack of bullshit in between. Does anyone else feel the same way?

So much PvZ PvP ZvZ in foreign tournaments now. I miss watching the terran matchups. Need more foreigners to play terran or Korean terrans need to make a comeback.

It's pretty well known that Puzzle is one of the if not the quickest protoss players in the world. This dates back to when he was playing sheth in code A and he showed off his 400+ apm blink micro.

nope. +1 for that. I think it's more the pauses between words that makes it awkward.

Is the sound on stream so silent or is it just me??

Have to tune the volume really high, get shocked by the volume of windows sounds.

If you measure it by APM, eAPM, then yes they have similar level of mechanics

Don't worry, Blizzard is working hard on HotS mech so that Terrans can win games by a-moving too.

Korean terrans this week have been doing a lot better in tvz then a few weeks ago so I think they are getting their groove back in tvz. Just need korean terrans to start going to foreign events again as foreign terrans have always struggled compared to their korean counterparts
