Sry but this "duckduck" guy is just a bad player. He is some good control, and some "nice" builds. But he doesnt have a brain he is a mindnumbing player in every MU.

He's a bad player with good control and nice builds. Sick logic.

This sucks... as soon as duckdeok won i closed the twitch.tv tab. A random korean winning an EUROPEAN fan favorite in a tournament made for Europeans, not really worth watching this anymore. At least i hope MC wins otherwise it's double the disappointment, but i won't be watching it anyway.

I will never understand why they allow grubby to use his own headphones, i doubt they shut down the environment sound as well as those that are used at every tournament

You should ask them when you get into Premier League. Oh wait, you won't.


Is that really necessary? It was just a question of organization. Have some respect for pro players.


And questioning such matters is pretty disrespectful for an organization as professional and experienced as ESL, running one of the most important tournaments they ever have. And pretty silly to boot.

I hope you're not serious :D


Sorry I don't like random drama based on unfounded and unreasonable accusations.


Drama aside it's not really "unfounded and unreasonable". I say that proper earmuffs is not enough to cancel without a booth and Grubby is not even wearing bad ones, he's wearing headphones for audio.

He doesn't have a brain? sorry man but what you're saying is rude and frankly unfounded.

A shame Grubby didn't take it but I think Duckdeok was just playing slightly better in the series (if you look past the luck either player gets through build orders). The fact that he was almost able to come back on that Red City game when Grubby was way ahead is a good example of that.

No he clearly deserves it because he won.

So many people being upset is fully understandable, on the other hand them blaming Blizzard, Korea or playstyles is not. Duckdeok is an aggressive player and I personally enjoyed the WCS regional finals very much. PvP has become a match up that you can actually watch and thats very tense.

I was cheering for Grubby and obviously I'm a bit sad that neither Naniwa, HasuObs nor Grubby made it to the finals, but thats the life of a progamer. Now we got MC vs duckdeok which should be entertaining as well. Don't understand the hate towards Korea or duckdeok by any means. People that hate now should leave the scene, because they really are not needed.

Cool more korean vs korean matches in the EU region and the final is a PvP anyways. Frees up more time to watch football today
The regional finals will bomb so hard in viewership after round 1, season 2 WCS EU took a pretty big hit already.

Why is everyone mad in here? Isnt this exactly what you wanted?

Whenever I stated that Korean brackets are boring (unless its a Korean tournament ofc) I get told that people just want to watch good Starcraft and the better players win.

Duck was obviously the better player, so enjoy the finals, im out.

The point is even if the heapdhones cancelling is alright, everybody should have the same conditions to play so when everybody is using headphones provided by tournament organizers(not only here but everywhere) Grubby should as well. Especially since the "ESL" headphones are really uncomfortable

I don't see the problem as long as the headphones are adequately noise cancelling. If they allow Grubby I'm sure others are allowed the same as long as they bring headphones that are equally soundproof. Obviously the standard green Razer headset will not be accepted. It is the same as when Hero brought his own chair to the OGN studio.

they are not.


How does that contradict anything I said. Lucifron did not say he knew anything about how noise cancelling Grubby's headphones are, neither did he mention whether he (or Vortix) was allowed the same.

Vortix would know if he was allowed to use his own set of headphones><

Maybe Vortix headphones are not noise cancelling, maybe Vortix didn't ask so he would know or maybe Vortix asked but didn't tell Lucifron. All that tweet says is that they have different headsets and that Lucifron is surprised about this fact.

What about Lucifron? Did Lucifron forget to tell Lucifron that he was allowed to use a different headset?

It is not exactly unheard of that players do not read rules, especially the fine print when it comes to equipment. It may just be ignorance. It may also just be that whatever sponsored headset Lucifron gets through mouz does not provide adequate sound proofing so he was told that he was not allowed to use that one.

Do you really think ESL are stupid enough not to test the headsets or knowingly give Grubby license to cheat and broadcast it all the time on camera? I hope not.

User was warned for this post


It's terrible for the EU scene that a bad player can reach the top 4.

Oh, and are you by any chance slightly annoyed by this fact?
