With translators at every event and some Koreans speaking english and interacting with the scene and showing more and more personality. I don;t get why people can relate to Naniwa but not to Koreans? I mean I have my favorite players as well, and it pains me to see Polt eliminated so close to the real money rounds. But I just don't understand this "If my guys are out I'm not watching anymore" mentality. It's poor sportsmanship. I love the players, but I love the game way more. It's the same in any sport. I'll always cheer for the Lakers, but I'm going to watch the playoffs regardless of who's playing. | ||

I was just making a statement that losing to someone in Code A can happen to anyone and Flash did lose to someone in code A, not really indicative of Naniwa's skill. Who IMO, when he's on top of his game, is a great player. | ||

First he shows his respects to Flash after beating him, and now to the Sun God. Fight Naniwa! I hope he gets back into Code S after shitkid Mini knocked him out. Hey! Mini can use reavers well! | ||

People can enjoy whatever they want. But it's not really in question that the majority of people watch SC2 (or really, any other sport in existence) to watch their favorite players win. You're in the minority. | ||

Sure everyone "cheers" for their countrymen... but my favourite cricket team, soccer team, MMA fighter, basketball team or even tennis player isnt/arent Australian. Not wanting to see the best in the world compete, for the sake of some obsessive "patriotism" to <everywhere but korea> is rather odd!  | ||

Many Real Madrid fans hate Ronaldo, and you won't hear any of them hating on the god Messi is. Most people root for their teams, but can enjoy good football from other teams aswell. More of a point would be, if there is a Real Madrid vs Barcelona Champion's league final, wouldn't you watch it even if you are not from Spain ? Signed - A non Barcelona FC fan. | ||

Sure there are people who stand out and get fans from all over, in MLG that would be Flash for example. Doesn't mean most people give a shit about most players who are still in the tournament though. | ||

This was Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo high level, how this guys were in the mind of the other, and controlling the obs, scouting timings, everything. Really? Because both games came 100% down to a maxed out final battle in which Naniwa made a bad decision in engagement position so he lost. Why even play the rest of the game? Rain even said it in the interview: "I was behind but I knew I would win if we maxed out so I just sat there and waited." | ||

That must mean that Terran is OP again and everyone must rail, rant, and rave to have the game rebalanced so that it is fair for all again. Watch Flash break the game with early pressure over the next 2 months. Calling it now. | ||
