Rofl Cruncher is a joke, and HuK isn't much better. People are saying that lag affected the results, not because they were unhappy with the results, but because there was in fact an issue with lag. It's hard to be *too* serious with results when you know that one player is handicapped. It doesn't necessarily mean that the foreigners who did beat koreans can never compete with them, but simply that the results don't mean as much. It's usually better to observe and comment on particular player's play across a wide range of games rather than dig up a couple good tournament wins and say that therefore they must be top level. Example - instead of saying MVP is good because he won 2 GSL's, I would rather say he is good because of his many diverse opening builds, his strong decision making in the mid to late game, and finally his ability to multitask very well. | ||

Check the GSL supertournament. 29 terrans 19 zerg and 16 protoss... This shows its actually harder to be good with Protoss, atleast than terran, and on par with Zerg. | ||

On May 18 2011 19:45 FuRong wrote: You should read the interview with Lee Chen. The whole point of the exchange is based on mutual respect between the GSL and MLG. Gom gives MLG players Code A/S spots and MLG gives Koreans spots in the seeded pools. If you want the Koreans to have to qualify through the open bracket then it would be the same as sending the MLG winners to go and qualify through Code B (which noone would actually do...consider that even when offered Code A spots, a lot of players have said they wouldn't bother taking the offer). Forcing the invited players to qualify would defeat the entire purpose of the exchange. The way they've organised it is to give the invited players the respect they deserve and give them a seed. This exchange is about promoting international competition, and what is good for ESPORTS is obviously not necessarily good for average to middling American pros who now have to qualify through the open bracket. Unsurprisingly, most of the whining about the new format seems to be coming from this group of players =/ Arguments about the structure of the MLG format in general are fair game, but I don't see how anyone can seriously argue that seeding the Koreans into the pools is a bad idea. The point that I was trying to make was that there are people of similar calibre in the open brackets, not getting a free lunch. And many players around the world just as capable/highly skilled whom are not going because there is no free lunch. I think that the entire format needs to change in order to make way for 'invited' players. Because the excessively large open bracket is murder, no one should have to play 30 bo3 games in a tournament. (yes I know im exaggerating, but just making a point.) | ||

Too bad Thorzain is going to storm through the open bracket and mess up whatever pool they drop him in. | ||

All Pool C matches will feel like a bunch of semi finals matches. I think Tyler might surprise a lot people and look at his strongest since bw. This could be TLO's tournament I believe, anyone that has been watching his stream must realize how sick he is playing when he stays focused. Losira or TLO takes that group I believe, Incontrol is casting and doing other things to much and TLO in his new gamer house (and a fully recovered TLO from his injury) is looking scary, but then there is of course Losira :p. So hyped for this tournament.....going to be amazing (right Sundance). | ||
