geez i was just comparing the way they win 1st places ones in a while .. u dont have to be so mean

Naniwa won only 1 MLG, didn't he :D?

Lots of top 4's and stuff. Plus best foreigner showing in code S. And don't even say, "But Jinro..."

Code S showing is relevant. If we were living 1 year ago. I do not consider GSLs from beginning of 2012 to be relevant now.

Protoss: the race that requires the least mechanical prowess to compete at a high level and relies the most on mindgames.

Your Protoss whine in this thread is reaching obnoxious levels.

Didn't you know that Protoss is massively overpowered and the only reason that Protoss players don't stomp every tournament is because they're not as good/innovative/capable as Zerg and Terran players..?

:3


Everyone seems to agree that in BW the races were balanced, but even then there were more Terran and Zerg Champions.

Now while in SC2, Protoss doesn't work at all like BW, but the same logic applies. Even if the game is balanced, that doesn't mean the races will have an even number of championships. Unless you were able to run an infinite amount of trials, this would never happen.

his post was satire/joke lol. Protoss whine can get out of hands on TL at times. Either way, go Life! :D

Balance is naturally going to select the viewers. A lot of old faces who liked watching toss games have disappeared so we'll be left with the apologists of sc2.

English is mandatory in S.Korea education as far as I know.

Most of the asians can write simple to advanced English, it is only speaking and listening that we aren't good at.

I honestly don't mind koreans not speaking in English, giving a more accurate statement is more important for me


I don't see how that contradicts what I said?

Hoping for a 4-3 PvZ with totally sick back-and forth games. I know I'm a little crazy for that, though.

How many years are they required to take? Based on what I've seen over the years I'd be surprised if any of them had taken more than a couple. The level of English is generally very low.

My timing is good! Finals are about to start, and Naniwa won his match (from being down two games vs a Zerg no less!). I'll definitely watch these finals. Go Naniwa!



WCS points are set in stone now right? We know who is going to Blizzcon now?

Still up in the air so it matters a lot for Naniwa if he wins or not. But just making it to the finals has been very important. You can check out the thread in sc2 general for all the calculations.
