The tournament finals were like watching the RO16 in the HDH it was just pretty bad play, watching 2 1base protoss try to 4gate each other isn't all that exciting or fun to watch. I believe Idra said it best about the NA players when he highlighted HuK in particular that he is just a FOTM all in player and that highlights most of the play we saw in MLG I disagree about HuK. He was actually one of the few players this tournament to display any creativity at all. There were definitely a few good matches, but overall I'd agree that there were too many boring, uncreative, and/or badly played matches as well. But the thing is, this is so young in the game's life, and many of the established top players were off in Korea. Over time, more good NA players will emerge and I think the level of play can only go up from here. | ||

On a side note, I thought most of the commentary added to the matches, rather than detracting from the excitement, something difficult to do. Edit*: To the poster right above me... Thank you. | ||

A: The game is a month old B: It was the first time MLG held an SC2 tourney You should probably stop trying to spread so much negativity because the fact is the game WILL evolve and MLG is a great avenue to further expose a brilliant game. We have to support this game so the community will grow, and then the tournaments gain momentum bringing in more competition and diverse gameplay. I kinda think blizzard MIGHT just know what they are doing by the way. Give it some time. Okay so a few of you may think it was boring, well I don't like Arena American football as opposed to how American football is traditionally played, but I don't go on forums pushing the issue and blasting how it virtually eliminates the running game. Please support SC2. And if you want Zerg to be in the finals...get your ass in the game and raise your level of play. | ||

Anyway, one of the reasons i dont like the upcomming patch is that, while siege tanks and reapers might be too strongs vs zerg, they are balanced or really underpowered vs protos and terran. By making an all round nerf blizzard is just making these units useless. IMO they should just have nerfed the splash dmg and buffed the dmg from 50 to 55 or so, so that the overall result was that it would be weaker vs zerg (small units) and marines, while still decent vs protos and mauruders. And they still have not fixed the fact that it is very difficult for zerg to respond to all the different openings of terran. They could fix this by changing the map pool, as steppes of war/LT and kulas are to terran favored. Units like the thor is now useless as they dont hard counter mutas. Why not buff 250 mm cannon instead of nerfing the ultra? IMO the above suggestion would be better as they would allow for useless units to be usefull. But blizzards logic is: Unit A is to powerful in 1 specific situation. Lets make a general nerf. IMO by having that approach blizzard is not gonna be succesful in making a good esport game. Anothing though, I kind of believe that bio is just as entertaining to spectate as mech. In the future though i hope we will see more use of nukes/drops, when people get better af defending 1base allins/2 base allins (though blizzard could do us all a favor and fix the mappol and make all maps more like meta cross positions). | ||

![[image loading]](http://pds9.egloos.com/pds/200803/16/04/d0032604_47dbea7a3d7de.jpg) As the commentator it would be amazing, Though Day9 And JP were amazing.. Husky and HD seemed a bit nervous to be on camera.. Until American commentators are screaming at the top of their lungs it just wont be the same. | ||

It's really tough finding a commentator who both knows the game inside and out, and has an awesome yelling/casting voice. There isn't an SC2 commentator around who I think has the right voice for it, though I'd say Tasteless has one of the better voices | ||

Or is it that they just don't do it good enough? What you guys think you didnt see thestc completely wipe out tester with just marauders and dropships? even after he had 3 expos he still kept doing it cos its aggressive, effecient and fun to play. | ||

I just found myself sort of zoning out and not paying attention to the games, and even those that were sort of fun at the time I can't recall at all. My list of memorable moments (with just a hint of sarcasm): Voidray counter-push killing some zerg who'd been dominating all game. A number of games where someone was in control, then overextended a tiny bit, and suddenly got countered and GG'd out in roughly 15 seconds. .... There was some game where a huge blog of colossi headbutted in the middle of the map, and everyone tried to figure out why one guy won. Other than that it's this big mess of undifferentiated micro and early timing pushes. Just seems very featureless compared to many other E-sports broadcasts. Much better than WoW arena has been recently, however. Other than that, there are no big exciting moments that stick with me. Now, that could very well be due to my minimal knowledge and skill in SC2, and have nothing to do with the game. But I could watch and enjoy BW with roughly the same amount of knowledge. Before anyone says it - yes, it's very early in SC2's life. I don't expect it to be as good as BW yet. I'm sure it will get better. Just expressing my disappointment, not making any objective judgments. | ||

When that mothership popped out you could hear the air being sucked out of the room. Some of those storms were insane. If you haven't seen this, find a VoD or replay.. wow. | ||

Did you miss all the micro the players were doing? Or how HuK went phoenixes and did some insane ff's to stop stalkers from leaving then lift them up? Games were great. Just because you didn't understand them doesn't make them bad. | ||
