sorry nobody cares about a plat player being upset over "bm" maybe you should go play the game instead of just watching and complaining

The MVP vs oGs match was so hilarious! A little BM goes a long way to entertainment!

MC went for an economic allin by doing a 1gate nexus expand. he was perfectly aware that he would probably lose the game if the zerg decided to do an early attack.

Honestly I loved the celebrations and booth hitting etc. I don't think the players take it too seriously, they just want to provide a little entertainment and something for us to talk about. GSTL is a little more lighthearted but at the same time, the team format provides great matches. I hope to see more of the same in future GSTLs.

Regarding the BM, it was quite rude, but MC isnt an angel either, what about at the RO8 when he picked up a chair and sat down in the middle of studio with a clear attitude"This is to easy, bring me something so i dont fall asleep"

oGsTOP also displayed Nunchuck skills after a battle that MC won(If i remeber correctly, not 100% sure about it)

And i honestly think that its abit like war when playing in gstl, your team mates work you up to such an extent that you just got to get some adrenaline out of the body.

So yeah, let them have a fun, it is great entertainment value for gomTV

GSL has really spoilt peoples ways of thinking about whos "good" and whos "bad", sc2 needs a dedicated longterm team league bad.

This! It is SOOO hard to get into code S, one bad day and you're out of code A. Even though some players that really shine in GSTL isn't in code S does not by any means mean they were just lucky in the games they play i GSTL. I bet there are still many, many players that could be in code S or code A, but aren't because it's so hard to get into. GSTL lets these players get some attention they deserve. Punishing a greedy player for a win? How is that not good play? You play to win, you play to beat one of the best players in the world. If you see an opportunity, you take it!

That being said. Great games today! Really excited for the finals!

there are different levels of BM

imo the BM in GSTL is having fun with the game and competition

the BM that Idra dishes out is not in fun or jester. he's very serious about it.

anyways the ceremonies definitely up the the entertainment value of GSTL

There is no "rivalry," is this just competitive taunting with no real feelings behind it. It is just each team want's to win and put on a good show. There are no hard feelings between any teams. They probably go out to eat or play soccer together sometimes ^_^

in the end winning is all that matters.

MC wins a lot anyway even thought people like 80% of the games tries to all-in him.

MC played like a fucking idiot, like he's been asleep the entire last month of speedling/roach builds. He's seriously going to 1 gate FE -> stargate EVEN THOUGH HE GOT GAS STOLEN? Zerg could've had fucking ultralisks before he got void rays out, he would've died to any kind of attack at all, including a pure speedling attack.

I don't know why MC would think that was a good build for Crevasse, I really don't, especially considering he's so much better than his opponent that he could've just done a 4gate, or a 6gate and crushed him with unit control.

I do not understand all the hype about BM

When you wan to see starcraft as a sport than dont cry about manners
Sport does not care about manners
ist all about winning and competition

Personally, I love seeing the rivalries. But I don't think they take it far enough. I feel Starcraft needs to go in the direction of the NBA. Mad smack talk coupled with players fighting tooth and nail to dominate each other.

Then someone at reddit created GIFs of the other celebrations/taunts so far in GSTL3.

When MC hit DRG's booth it was kind of a "Holy shit is he serious?" moment. When DRG did it back to MC though you could tell he was just having fun and it was god damn hilarious.

I don't think there's any rivalry going on between OGS and MVP. The BM going on between the teams this GSTL is at an all-time high, but I think it's all in good fun. Look at the BM between oGs and Startale, but in the interview they said they had close relations with ST, so there's no animosity there.

Well i watched the Vods and i think its not even as serious as stated out in this thread. Its not like a "im gonna hit u in the face" agressive gesture its just a soft little "suck it" like punch.
I think its not a really big deal anyway, when people put so much effort into the game its just natural that sometimes they cant control themselves.
I personally like to see stuff like that because imo Korean players look way to robotic sometimes.

And regarding the game itself, ofcourse what dongraegu did was kind of an all in , but whats the deal about it? If you see your enemy going 1 gate expand and u manage to steal his gas u know you are going to do alot of dmg, especially on this map where you can break up the choke.
It instead was a fault of mc, who could have anticipated that raegu is going to do something very agressive after the double gas steal.
Theres nothing wrong with doing an allin if you know its going to kill your opponent . If you are at a certain point in a game and u know "I need exactly this to win the game" regardless what it is, it would be stupid to not do it.

I love the celebrations whether it can be bm or not, let them have their fun, and it lets the players show their personality
