Yea life had him completely figured out by game 3, I wish he had tried to mix it up.

He'll lose the first few matches and he just seems to get a feeling for his opponent and charges up and smashes them!!

Today the potential stream viewership for the event was roughly cut in half. Because 3 GSL Champions and a multi-GSL finalist, all of them big fan favorites, made the final 4? Yeah, I'm sure nobody will watch. thats the unfortunate reality. 60k for IS1 final four with MMA, NesTea, Symbol (unknown at this moment) and aLive (not a fan favorite). The line-up for IS2 is better so I think you're wrong. I feel like the people who hate on ZvZ and not having foreigners in tournaments are a vocal minority and they are just so upset at the fact that they tell everyone how bad this is and no one will watch. It's getting really old. People were saying "OMG MC v. MKP only match worth watching" or "ZvZ so much, no one is going to watch this stupid" and then we see 30k viewers across the multiple streams for an online match thats the Quarterfinals from a foreign tournament that isnt even one of the very top ones like IPL or MLG (iron squid is bad ass don't get me wrong its just not as big yet.) because me personally, I love watching ZvZ, I enjoy watching Koreans far more than foreigners + Show Spoiler + The tournaments have given proof that "not having foreigners in tournaments" is a vocal majority. It's been a known fact for a while now. ZvZ haters I have no idea. Guess we will see.
And that's why foreigner heavy line-ups like IEM have the most viewership right? I think a lot of people are being misled. Foreigner matches don't by themselves draw a lot more people. The main draw is a foreigner match deep in the tournament AFTER taking out couple top Koreans. THIS is where the storyline comes in.
If people just wanted to see foreigners play, we would see huge numbers for NA/EU qualifiers and such. But this is not the case. Why did Naniwa matches in GSL get so many views. It isn't JUST because of Naniwa. The number for his other tournament (Dreamhack, etc) aren't as high. It was the fact that he was beating Koreans and making Ro16, Ro8. That is where the hype is.

Standard night with protoss losing. I'm happy I was not watching (crushing terrans on ladder instead).

The lineup for IronSquid exited me a lot when i saw it. Bought a VIP ticket right away to go to the thing live... And now... All the players i wanted to see are almost all eliminated (MVP, MC, Scarlett, Leenock). Next time i need to not get exited and wait for the results before buying a ticket 
Because there is ... only Nestea. Shame on me for not being patient. I'm a sad zeal... oh... Zergling  + Show Spoiler + Not balance whine with the "sad/zeal/zergling". I play zerg

Honestly, 3 foreigners in the top8 when you have 21 top koreans (and top is an understatement), out of the 32 players is quite good.

What this guy said, It would basically be impossible to underperform with these odds, WP all foreigners, and damn you MKP for trolling all over MC in that series

if it wasnt race related even lag cant save foreigners

I beg to differ. He 4-0d MVP, one of the best SC2 players. In that case Naama is the best foreign terran...
