I've never been away from the scene so long as of late. I watched Polt vs Hero yesterday by accident, and realized just how terrible painful it is to see SC2 right now. If I was in hell, I'd imagined myself being a professional Terran player. | ||

So I wouldn't call that a disaster, but rather an experience with its drawbacks and its advantages. Because let's be honest. It's a shame, but if you want people to give it all, you got to put a lot of money on the table. Make it this "allin-ish", and you'll get some of the best SC2. I'm totally not in favor of doing this often, though. Once a year could be a good frequency. Except the games at IEM Cologne were just as good. There is no hard evidence that WTA produces better games because the players are trying 'harder'. Let say we have a tournament where the loser actually loses money, will the games be better? I don't believe so. | ||

No units were harmed in the progression of this game. Game4: Blind nexus first from sOs, herO with a 3 gate blink all in. All in failed due to a Robo sOs built. Game5: Failed proxy gate from herO. Took me longer to write down, than the games actually lasted. Atleast game 3 was really good, and both player could have won that till sOs cleared his base | ||

Wasn't as much what MVP did as much as what MKP didn't do. Which was anything, he just kinda rolled over. | ||

It is not like early WoL days when nobody knew how to play and what creep spread is. It was basically a ruthless "slaughter" for the money. And people who just kept looking at that viewer count should realize that at everything above 60-70k were probably not your regular SC2 viewers at all. | ||

Players will try just as hard for 40k as for 100k. | ||
