Explaining myself is not a rant or arguing. I'm just not going to push it in any other posts as its pointless to argue on this site.

I seriously doubt all players have the same playstyle. Using the same units is not the same as having the same play style. If you closely watch Scarlett, her muta harass is quite different from JD or vioLet. JD has an early timing weakness (Has cannon rush is prime example) that DRG or Leenock will never fall too. I agree that there aren't much options, so most players trend to the best (ling/bling/mutas vs terran) but they use there units vastly different. That is the beauty of SC2.
Everyone uses the same units, but no one uses them exactly the same.

You're making it pretty clearly that you don't know what you're talking about

Little too late for that :/ since it's all pretty much wrapped up

man this mlg sucks balls. what is the point of an open bracket if you show NONE of the games and instead show boring classics. the decision making with the sc2 streams has been horrible and right now, the only possible conclusion is: thanks god mlg is not involved in any important tournaments anymore.

ToD and Catz in the dark room.

Well we may not get to see any games from the stacked open bracket, but at least we get to see reruns of games from when no one had a fucking clue about how to play and maps were universally awful.

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo bored. I am currently concocting a fake storyline where Polt and Stardust are long lost twin brothers and this will be the first time they ever meet. Together they team up win MLG, go find Byun and stop Rain's regmie of terror.
GOD PLZ A GAME ANYWHERE, ANYSTREAM

GOD PLZ A GAME ANYWHERE, ANYSTREAM Can you please make a book of these short stories.

Lets have a tournament but don't stream any of the games! Just show ads and MLG classics! Surely people would rather watch those things than live games at a major event!
