I simply express my opinion. I know it hurts you, but it is what it is. I have no issue with Naniwa's presence in top 2 of Dreamhack, mind you. The way he got there just shows to me, that we shouldn't rush to declare him the best foreigner. | ||

For GSL style events though best of 7 semis is fine. It's well worth sacrificing time in other areas to make sure you can play best of five in the knockout games. Another positive I have about Dreamhack is the lack of a 3rd place game, those are terrible and should never ever be in any tournament. They are boring games and so often push the event on too long so people have to go to bed and miss the finals. | ||

i can understand DH scheduling issues since it's a 2 day event, the first day was already chock full of series and so was the second day. a 3-day event would be cool (2 groups stages day 1, one group stage day 2 with a few bracket games, and the final 8 players on day 3 or something) | ||

So often as a European when I watch US events it's really touch and go whether I can stay up for the final and get at least some sleep for work the next day. I'm happy to stay up until 1am (I wake up at 5am) but later than that is really pushing it. So of course it fucks me right off when it gets to 11pm and they're like "now it's time for a best of seven third place game", which drags on for 2 hours including downtime. Obviously some American is going to quote this giving me a whole manner of bullshit about American events catering for American people, but Europeans are 30-40% of the audience so it seems obvious to me that they should try and accommodate both us and North Americans unless they want vastly reduced viewing figures for their finals. i can understand DH scheduling issues since it's a 2 day event, the first day was already chock full of series and so was the second day. a 3-day event would be cool (2 groups stages day 1, one group stage day 2 with a few bracket games, and the final 8 players on day 3 or something) Or just skip the 1st group stage entirely? It was pretty pointless. | ||

No doubt they're both great players but they've won a lot of money from second tier LAN events without ever taking down an MLG or an IPL once they started bringing all of Code S over. umm... Stephano beat mma, revival, puzzle, lucky, thestc, inori, violet in ipl3. even if the whole code s wasn't there his road to the finals was like one of the hardest for a foreigner ever. also nasl was just as impressive, he beat hero and mc in a row where those 2 were considered best pvz'ers in the world. don't know why you bring Stephano into this, main reason he got famous was that he won tournaments by raping koreans... | ||

MC's only gotten one IEM and one HSC as well (and a non-premier redbull as well i guess) Add Blizzard Cup, it's certainly a weekend tournament. | ||

Stephano didn't beat MMA at IPL3, I'm not sure any of the player he beat were Code S at the time. But aside from that none of that disproves anything I said at all, in fact I don't think you even read it. Stephano and MC have both won weekend LAN's with a 6/10 or 7/10 level lineups but neither have won a weekend LAN with a 9/10 or 10/10 lineup like Leenock has three times. | ||

Wind your neck in kid and stop being such a baby. Or can't you take any criticism of Stephano without crying? The qualifiers were online (and therefore meaningless) and iirc both players had already qualified anyway (thus making them even lower than meaningless, Naniwa vs Nestea probe rush levels of meaninglessness) The conversation was that Leenock is the most successful player of all time in terms of foreign weekend LAN events. Someone claimed MC was comparable which I correctly pointed out isn't true because he's never won an event where 90% of the absolute elite of the Sc2 scene were present. So while MC's probably won more money at these events his results aren't the equal of Leenock's, another example of this being Stephano who also has probably made more money than Leenock at foreign LAN's but like MC hasn't been anywhere near as sucessful because he's never won an event where 90% of Code S turned up, Leenock has won three such events and reached the final of another. I don't think MC or Stephano have even made the final of such an event, unless you count MLG Orlando where MC lost to Huk, but imo that lineup was more of a 7/10 or 8/10. I don't give a shit whether Stephano is the most successful foreigner because that is not what was being discussed right now, we were talking about the best LAN player in Sc2 history. Stephano is not a contender for this, or are you such a fanboy you can't accept that? | ||

pretty pathetic that you feel the need to shit on other players while showing your adoration of leenock... he won more than MC yeah that's true. a lot of MC's money is from the open season and he had a lot of 2nd-3rd etc placements where he got a lot of money from. but why bring stephano in for example? let me show you how it's done if you don't want to look like an ass. "wow xy player is really good he won a tournament again! that is his yth tournament wow he is so awesome" let me show you how an ass does it: "wow xy player is really good, he is better than [insert random player out of thin air the ass just wants to shit on for no reason] who is overrated and when he won it wasn't as though and he entered every tournament!!!!!!!!!!!!!" see now you can proudly identify yourself as the 2nd one, congrats. i'm not a fanboy of anyone, don't make weak attempts. why is it even necessary to compare the two? it feels like you just don't like stephano which is fine, but this dreamhack and leenock has basically nothing to do with him. also Stephano won A LOT of tournaments. | ||

MC is one of my favourite players, much more so than Leenock who I'm pretty indifferent to. I was definitely not shitting on MC, just stating facts. If everyone posted like your first example (about 80% of TL do anyway) this forum would be the most inane, boring, circle jerk fest going. Debate is what makes forums worth posting on, posting "yayy <insert random player> is great at this game" is fucking boring and belongs solely in the infinite circle jerk quagmire of the 'fanclub' section. | ||

 but i wonder why theres no discussion about Polt, who (for me at least) had the most underwhelming result of all compared to what was expected beforehand. and NaNis incredible 2nd place makes me hope he'll destroy WCS EU | ||

Polt was overrated by the TL prediction team but good players have always had random terrible tournaments. There are no extremely consistent players in Sc2. | ||
