There's a what? In which room?

The super skilled and more talented broodwar players (which are simply faster and better then other players), are going to make a surprised entrance and win this tournament. Hiya in particular has been preparing good things for this world championship

Like if it was me casting, I'd talk about how Polt was offended by how BM Naniwa was to other players so he gave him a thumbs down after beating him in MLG. And then Naniwa got super pissed that when Polt tried to apologize later he just told him to fuck off.

Polt then later called him not a man or something on lo3.

if naniwa weren't retiring i would agree. considering he is, i think it would just be beating nani when he's down. rivalry is only fun if both players are in form. if one isn't, it's just sad

Good choice.


Disagree. What is this? Well let's just pretend like naniwa practiced a ton and has crisp builds prerpared, so it's very interesting, we're so hyped, while everyone who watches this, knows that this is complete bullshit.


Do you want them to say "This match-up will be shit guys you might as well go do something else while Polt crushes him"? Of course not. The casters are there to hype, not deter potential viewers.


they could be honest, and at least mention it, and not scoot around it completley. No need to go full "incontrol on SH", but like always, tehre has to be something between complete overhyping and being negative.

Saying you haven't been practicing is such a pussy ass bitch move.


Not when its the truth... people lose passion on things all the time and its hard to get yourself motivated so you step away... so relax and dont get your panties in a bunch kid... learn to look at the bigger picture and dont be so superficial


The timing of the announcement is my issue.

He basically stated this because if he loses he has the excuse that he hasn't been practicing and if he wins then everyone will praise him for being so naturally talented.

Just seems to be a very cowardly way out.

I don't think it has anything to do with passion or big picture, just Naniwa being a scaredy cat


again, is it not accurate to say that he made the "announcement" as a reply to a fan in his fan club thread who was actively rumor mongering? it's not like he emailed a press release to ESL...

Tweeting about playing lol in his hotel room before the tournament is all because he just wants to share, tight?

i don't have twitter, but even if i did i don't think i would care about that. to each his own!

So is destiny hanging up on inside the game sponsored by eg, when all four of the other people were shit talking him for crap they later pulled off lol

wut. Wat. What. WHAT.


I know what you are referring to but I just don't know why it is relevant/what "crap they later pulled off lol" means.

They were shit talking him for expanding into another game when there was no sign of improvement during the blord/infestor phase iirc, since then every one of them except painuser has been doing "non starcraft" stuff, especially djwheat.

IIRC correctly mostly they were just shit talking him because of how hard he was pushing the "SC2 is dead" mindset.

He was pushing the "sc2 is dying because blizzard won't fix protoss, blord/infestor etc" which it absolutely was lol

But then they fixed it with HotS.... Don't bring this shit up.

I know, and he's since returned and been casting tournaments.

Whatever haha I don't subscribe the the Destiny mindset of "SC2 is dying because it is going through a rough patch(har har no pun intended)"

No caster would like to get criticized for "hurting esports" like what happened to incontrol yesterday.


Only watched briefly yesterday, what happened with incontrol?

he wasn't ABSOLUTELY hyped for a shitty game

Where's your kickstarter Stuchiu?


How many esports journalism kickstarters do we really need? Wax's was the best by far before it was taken down.
