So MajOr or JR will be the best foreigner in TSL, who would have guessed that :O Major is not a surprise to me tbh. i had him beating Naniwa in my bracket, i guess now he'll just have to beat the guy that beat Naniwa instead.
While Major is surely favored against JRecco, he was definitely the underdog against Naniwa.
Everyone keeps saying he's great or that he has potential, but he doesn't really have that much to show as far as accomplishments go. Winning the TSL would certainly help Major's actual credentials.

Too bad. I don't understand this mentality. I have tried many times to understand.... if you don't think that way, don't try to understand it... you will only get frustrated, trust me.
Words of wisdom.

Tournaments without Stephano are just too bland ... take notes IPL ... invite him already... Tough shit, he didn't qualify. Also was that last game played on EU or KR for Vortix/Keen btw? I guess if it was lagging maybe Vortix wanted to keep his faith and just A-move. Anyway was well played despite the loss, guy looks pretty talented
EU v KR = NA server.

Another person to root for is gone. If J. Recco drops against Major now, TSL will be boring and not watched by me anymore :/ Perhaps you should focus less on the nationalities, are only Europeans worth supporting, is that it? Let him support who he wants. That's the point of international competition.
But this next game is a Mexican versus a Scot. There's literally no possible explanation for complaining about them not counting as foreigners.
There's someone from the EU, there's someone from NA. If he's a closet racist, one of them is white. If he's anti-American, the NA player isn't from the US.

I do kind of get it given I was sometimes like this in brood war (No WeMadeFox = No watch for me sometimes) people like to be invested into the people they watch and I suppose they can't be invested into Koreans or something like that.

I think he was aware. It's more the 72% = 75% equation that is baffling.

JRecco got them Chuck Norris stats

no idea how jerg is suppose to win on that map Really, 51/49 map balance and zerg can't win? In my opinion the most annoying thing about Antiga is when commentators say "oh, it's impossible for a zerg player to take a 4th base!! oh my god how are poor zergs supposed to play this map?.." While all zergs just go and take the 4th like it's nothing..
Isn't the hard part defending 'em?

Vortix showed some really impressive play, I think that if he'd used his mutas more actively to pick off those drops on his third and fourth he could have easily taken that game. A little bit more spreading before attacking Terran (and generally choosing battles more carefully) would see that he could beat a player of Keen's level.
Great games, TvZ is my favorite matchup! Can't wait to see JohnnyRecco in beast mode!

I still can't understand how Vortix managed to fuck that up so many different times.
He a moved in one direction down that one ramp about 3 times? There was tanks there. Why do that? There must have been lag or something, I honestly don't get how anyone could make that mistake. If he'd have flanked he would have won.
I really hope Major plays mech btw.

this laggy TSL4 INTRO FUCKS THE HELL OUT of me. damnit this is so unbelieveably annoying.

Didn't even try you mean, attending two qualifier and forfeiting in one of them ... sure, it's just the most prestigous foreign tournament whatsoever. Why would he care? Since when is it the most prestigious foreign tournament ? Did I miss something ? And stop beeing lazy, just check the qualifier and you'll see. Pointless discussion anyway since he's the best foreigner why wouldn't he be able to qualify ?
It´s just a silly train of thought to argue: oh Stephano woulda this, Shephano coulda that. Well actually how can you tell?
