You've got pages and pages of people commentating on how MKP looks like he's going to have a heart-attack whenever they pan to him and you could see his play reflecting his nerves-issue plain as day. Nobody made excuses for MVP, he got himself into an bad position with his build and from there didn't have the right upgrades to compete with the protoss. Nobody is giving a shit about the BW guys besides the BW fans who need to legitimize their game, the sc2 fans are excited to watch a new crop of players come in. You guys need to stop being douche bags cause it doesn't look good in the least bit. Since BW players stepped in, the explanations and excuses for GSL losses started pouring like warm summer rain. Should I navigate you through the forum threads? Elephant victories were of course unexpected, not welcome by SC2 community and there is nothing strange about it. It is a natural reaction. Try to bear with the fact that some of us, like me especially, are still hobbling along with an old bag of memories, which we are trying to give a second life. | ||

These guys practiced for a week or 2 for these matches... they learned every build the opponent does and their patterns. It's basically a counter vs. counter and players change stuff up mid game because they notice they're getting countered. Not to mention you have to play your heart out because you have no chance to come back, better player always wins in Bo1. Bo3 has more to do with who is lucky, who cheeses, etc. This makes no sense. How is it posible for Bo3 be more about luck than Bo1? The more opportunities given means that everything will deviate to the mean, which means that the more games = the better player has a beter chance of winning. I am not saying that OSL shoudl change their format(its a tv show, you play 3 matches over the whole stage, the audience is used to Bo1, Bo1 makes each game a bit more exciting....) but don't tell me that Bo1 is a better way of determining the better player. | ||

Nestea played poorly, MVP was below average, MKP chocked. Is it me having too high standards for these guys or what is happening to them? (also neither MC nor DRG were impressive, but it is mostly because their opponents were freewin) Out of the Kespa guys, I was really impressed by Fantasy. He made some little mistakes but his play was really top class, even without knowing he switched this year to sc2. It is the first time I have this feeling with a Kespa player in sc2. Flying was good without being really impressive. Baby and Flash were ok and Jangbi and Best made really big mistakes. edit : I try my best not to be biased. I just having the feeling that the level of these game is not as high as the one in GSL. But I don't know why it would be the case so maybe I'm wrong. | ||

They want to put it on an ideal timeslot, not force people to dedicate the whole day in watching this unlike the other SC2 tourneys. It does last at least an hour I think, with the ads, interviews, replays and pre-game stuff. They've been doing that for quite some time now so they're used to Imo Bo1 balances the amount of skill and preparation in a game. A well-prepared underdog has a chance against a more skilled player. And come on guys, this is obviously 100% nerves. | ||

And yep, the Kespa players just seemed much better prepared this time, and with good reason. A loss is a loss, own up to it, give opponents credits. Why did you got tricked, and why did you make mistakes, because opponent is better than you. Nothing else to it. | ||

True, and it will continue to be that way, prepare yourself for it. | ||

Stop it with the "personality." Maybe he choked? I mean, come on. That was 100% nerves. to me, 'choking' is making a poor decision. missing a ff to wall off your ramp is a noob mistake. | ||

Making a poor decision is a noob mistake, shows you aren't experienced enough to adapt to a certain situation. Misclicking is choking, like when your hand is shaking when you're being indecisive or just being nervous. | ||
