lol i hate when casters say "must win game" both in esports and real sports. a must win game is a final game, period. any other game, you can come up with ANY reason to say it's "must win." "oh, game 5 is must win so they don't go down three games. game 1 is must win so they gain the early advantage. game 3 is must win because blah blah blah"

it's stupid hype language


Nope it's fine to say. They don't mean it's literally a must win game. Just that it's a must win cause in all likelihood the team/player is out if they don't win. Like in sports when a team goes up 2-0 in a series, game 3 is a must win for the other team not in the literal sense, but in that it's very rare for a team to come back from 0-3 down in a bo7.

and it sounds stupid when used figuratively, which is my point. there's no reason you can't simply say "it's very rare to come back from 0-3 in a bo7, so losing here would put them in a bad position"


Nope your way is needlessly long to say. Must win is a common phrase in sports and stuff. Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't mean that's not how it's commonly used.

??? i did not say anything about how it's commonly used, i simply stated an opinion and you keep saying "no" as if an opinion can be wrong... relax dude.


Eh, I'm not getting mad, you seem to be. Also, it's not an opinion, but it's just fact on how that phrase is used. It's like denying saying the sky is blue.

the opinion was that it's a stupid phrase. for me to say it's stupid is personal opinion, nothing more. if you think my post was about anything else you read it wrong. end of story. now stop.

Even if they do get an ace match, I'd favor HerO over MMA.

Bly is really good ZvZ and I can't see Ret winning games vs quite literally any pro-gamer in the world.

I'm wondering if Koreans clapping "for themselves" is actually the exact opposite of how we see it - not applauding when everyone else is singles them out, so they applaud as well to lessen that?

Or is it just a weird Taeja quirk and I'm talking out of my ass?

Or they don't understand what the host is saying so they just clap when everyone else does to not be left out.

except ret did beat Oz 2-1 this very tournament.

TLo also has beastly ZvZ, and paranoid is probably weaker than ret. like, a lot weaker.
