Not that MC is a bad choice but I don't understand why tourneys aren't inviting Nestea. Is he just too good to invite or what. He deserves some invites to foreign tournaments

wtf do you even follow GSL, MC is knocked out of super tournament while nestea is still strong and going.

I sincerely hope you were being sarcastic..... If not
The way to argue against that: stop being so foreigner biased and open your eyes... MC gains no advantage over the other players in the group(The only person who has a right to complain is July who won a tourny to get his spot in open bracket.) he has just as little(if not less due to travel time) preparation time for these matches, at least the other competitors knew who they were playing in every other match except the vs bomber match and prepared for it accordingly...

I don't even know why you think this is ok. Bomber was seen as arguably the scariest Korean with lots of recent games in GSL. So if anyone was most likely to have (now useless) builds prepared for them, it was him. Tyler is seen as the weakest player in the group by most and the only protoss so its safe to say XvP was the least practiced matchup for group C. Putting MC directly into groups is pretty messed up and I don't see how it could be considered fair disadvantage considering MC is most likely the Koren most experienced dealing with jet lag.

Korean special treatment??? your fucking joking right? seriously look at the situation here, no one really gains an advantage out of this... Fuck, this isn't even the LR thread yet and bias.whine posts are already popping up... going to be fun when Idra loses... /sarcasm

chillax broski, dont need to give yourself a heart attack over silly text =S

P.S your bias is showing

If by bias you mean my hate for Idra, it was never hidden

I don't like cry babies and espcially cry babies who have fans that ruin entire LR threads. I do apologize if I come across as upset, I am just tired of threads being ruined with useless QQ is all

I actually dont dislike idra, hes an avg raging nerd who happens to be not so average at the game... cant really hate on him without being a hypocrite, now blind fanboys, they do get annoying i wont lie. Really though those arent exclusive to idra...

Yes, raging fanboys aren't exclusive to Idra, obviously. But it seems that More so then not it is Idra fan boys who whine and QQ for 20+ pages in LR threads whenever a zerg(not even Idra) loses, merely because Idra complains about the matchup....

Well dont hate on Idra just for the fact that other people are bitching in a LR thread

I don't 'hate' Idra just because of his fans... I hate Idra because I find him to be an insufferable cry baby, I will admit he is a great player but I despise his attitude(which unfortunately rubs off on his fans...) Though I did gain respect for him on the SotG the other night when he stated he won't wont change his attitude just because people don't like it, but even with that I despise his out look on the games and how he reacts to losing.

well you do realize a very large portion of the population rages in video games, yes me too

, esp when it feels like you shouldnt have lost, which to most people is usually never. Sure idra rages but so does alot of other people. The other thing i see people critique him about, which i find a little silly, is when he doesnt gg, It really is a difference of opinions here, personally i feel if it wasnt a GG i wont gg, he does the same thing, its not like you HAVE to say gg at the end of the game, I really feel people have to get away from this crap about having huge biases towards players. IRL most people arent so bad if you get to know them.. especially if they have the same passion for similar interests

I understand raging, I have no problem with that. Idra how ever bring it to a whole new level, every lose is either because his opponent used an "all in no skill" strat or his race is "OP" never has Idra lost because he was simply outplayed. I have 0 problem with not GG'ing, I don't gg in probably close to 50% of my lost games due to frustration, but the constant whine and BM of Idra just annoys me, some find it entertaining and if you do thats your opinion and until recently I thought it was hilarious but its grown tiresome for me he's turning into the Sydney Crosby of sc2 great skill but a constant whiner and I despise that(This coming from a Canadian, his gold medal goal glroy can only last so long...)

I like how you compare a raging nerd to Crosby. The fact that it comes from a Canadian gives me a warm feeling that he indeed is a whiner. Sorry for the offtopic.

On-topic: July in the OB is so sweet. Hope to see another 26-0 performance.

Jeez, this is no more special treatment than the GSTL letting in FXO into their team league without ever playing a single game in Korea or them giving away four Code A spots away for free when people like DongRaeGu and Bomber had to fight through tough qualifiers to get in.

Just like how GSL gave spots away and let FXO into their team team to get more foreign viewers, this will help MLG get a lot more Korean interest. If MC was in the open brackets, they wouldn't be able to see him play at all until the second day.

Swear to god if MLG don't manage to pull off a functional stream this time I'll be somewhat pertubed. I'd say good luck MC, but I think the non-Koreans need the luck more. :D

GSL desires foreign teams to play in their league. Moonglade played multiple games in their league and and an FXO caster is casting Code A solo right now. So with an existing relationship with the team and FXO's reputation as a skilled team with great management and financial backing, I don't see how thats special treatment. Not like they edged out some well-known, good korean team. Also, MLG spots for Koreans are much more desirable for them then Code A spots are for Koreans so excluding the open to all Code S spot, Koreans are getting the good end of the deal.

Hope MC can perform to his best since he receive this in such short notice. There is no time for him to practice/study his opponent and esp get used the jet lag.
MC go go go!, Do it for Bomber, that poor kid, he must be very dissapointed now.

Couldn't agree more. Glad MC's going though, him losing will be more satisfying than bomber.

MLG should be great. :D

That doesn't really matter since the matches were scheduled such that Bomber would be able to go to MLG regardless of the result of his GSL match. Since his opponent was Nestea, I'm sure the scheduling would have worked out for him as well.

I'm pretty amazed that MLG (I'm assuming) is paying for a last minute round trip flight to get MC in there to replace Bomber.
