I'm assuming that means 10/20 in U.S., which is still ~10 hours away

I mean i know he's a little technologically illiterate but cmon -___- 60fps>30fps in every possible way (except for bandwith consumption xD) Common sense or logic doesn't have any influence on Artosis' likings. This guy is the most dogmatic guy on the scene :D And I also noticed that when he doesn't know about something (for instance there's a good chance he didn't watched IPL), when asked about it, he will not say "I don't know", he will say "I didn't like it". It's the same with his players' appreciations xD Haha, this post sounds extremely negative, but it's not, it's a part of his charm (and his aura) About the 60fps > 30fps streams, last year the very first MLGs (or was it IEM ? Bleh I don't remember which...they had the octostuff plugin for streaming) were in 60fps in a very low quality. After a while they upgraded the quality but at 30 fps, and everyone complained about the loss of quality, and yeah, the ugly 60fps were a pleasure to watch, the less ugly 30 fps was an horror. | ||

- The lack of moderation on /v/ is refreshing, makes it a lot more fun than LR threads which are just mind numbingly stupid. I wouldn't bother browsing it at any other time than during a live event such as MLG or GSL though. | ||

Would anyone else watch a new courtroom-drama series starring Tyler? It's moments like these I feel like he has missed his calling... Rationale and objectivity have little place on the internet but he certainly fights the good fight. | ||

I agree with your stance on the "consider the source" idea and Incontrol being entitled to his opinion. However, it is my opinion that given that the blizzcon tournament has both NesTea and MVP hence it is more competitive than MLG, IPL and NASL  The Blizzcon tournament has representation from all areas around the world. Sure the top SEA, TW, CN and LA may not be able to compete with NesTea or MVP (who knows though, we might be pleasantly surprised) but they got into the tournament through a qualifier for their region so they deserve to be there. If Blizzcon just wanted the best players from the world (rather than the best few from each region) then they would have simply given invites to the Top 32 at GSL, which would be rather stupid in my opinion. Give the relatively unknown players their time in the spotlight. Sure they may not have a high chance of bringing the world elite to an ace match in a Bo3 but it shines some light on the SEA, CN, TW and LA scenes making people realize that there IS competitive Starcraft 2 outside of NA, EU and Korea. | ||

If MVP and Nestea roll over everyone, I wouldn't consider that a "competitive field". 2. Bolding "they deserve to be there"? Incontrol definitely "qualified" by your logic for his MLG position but I doubt you would bold the same encouragement for him. | ||

Although his point isn't relevant (if he was referring to MLG's brackets), it is somewhat valid. Normally someone shouldn't give their negative opinions about others skill or about the brackets of a tournament, when they themselves have been performing terribly and probably shouldn't be where they are in the bracket as a result. However, Geoff's case is much different. SOTG is all about the opinions of the hosts. | ||

Incontrol definitely "qualified" by your logic for his MLG position but I doubt you would bold the same encouragement for him. 1) They roll over almost everyone in the GSL too, the point is they are the best players in the world so the Blizzcon tournament represents a higher upper tier of competitor than any other tournament bar GSL.You've split my post up rather than taking it as a whole. Blizzard's intent was to have the best players from each region. They pretty much got that. Incontrol's was insulting the tournament and Blizzard because HE believes they should have just got the world elite. Imagine it was the Olympics, 100meter sprint. If the best 100 sprinters in the world were all American would the Olympics just race those 100 people? No, they choose the best few from a number of countries to qualify/race. 2) I wasn't dissing Incontrol at all, I was saying he had no right to insult Blizzard for the way they organized their tournament because it achieved their intended objectives (best players from each region). If you want to bring MLG's format into this, their objective was to reward people for attending multiple MLGs. Based on this objective then yes they definitely achieved what they set out to (Incontrol always attended, and was rewarded because he kept his pool seeding). I do however disagree with the objective of MLG in rewarding people for repeat attendance rather than continued high performance. | ||

Typical "you can't criticize anyone unless you can do it yourself" fallacy, but with some mixed in pissing on incontrol's recent results. | ||
