Hi, you need to cry one more time to win the magical unicorn. That unicorn will fly you away to the land where there is no Naniwa in top 2 of dreamhack stockholm open 2013.

IMO you shouldn't be playing best of 3's so late in the tournament it has to be best of five semis at least and preferably best of five quarters too.

ofc there are always time issues, but imo bo5 for all bracket games (unless there's double elim in which case bo3 is ok) and bo7 finals works best. bo7 semis is a bit too much imo

the 3/4th place game though can be important if the finalists need rest in between their series

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)

MC's a bit overrated in this regard and like Stephano his winnings/success is in large part to them both attending basically every tournament going. 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...

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.

he beat mma in the qualifiers. mma and puzzlewere code s, the others were code a/b but not like there aren't code s caliber players in code b...

completely unnecessary attempt to shit on stephano who at that time beat like every korean, was by far the most succesful foreigner for the longest time, and nobody even mentioned him so far here... or are we just mentioning titles that random players won more than others? how about leenock vs mc, gsl wins? that would be completely unnecessary too yeah.

i didn't even compare the two, obviously leenock won more.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

see now you can proudly identify yourself as the 2nd one, congrats. i'm not a fanboy of anyone, don't make weak attempts.

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.

wouldn't be a tourney LR thread 1 day after it has finished without some nice pro / con stephano discussion featuring aeroplaneoverthesea

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
