No wonder Koreans dominate MLG more than any other foreign tournament. | ||

I remember listening to one of the SC2 podcasts (not ITG or SotG, one of the smaller ones) after the last MLG. And one of the hosts said something like, "...and another one of the disappointing finishes came from Liquid Tyler." I should have pm'd the hosts but... lazy. Maybe I'm the only one who's been paying attention, but in the two MLGs that Tyler wasn't in pool play, he made deep runs in the Open Bracket. The first time he made it all the way to championship Sunday, then losing in the first match. The second time he made it one match away from championship Sunday. You need to have long strings of victories to pull this off and he did it back-to-back MLGs so I think he definitely earned his spot back in. He's one of the players I'm rooting for to have a break out performance. | ||

He's one of the players I'm rooting for to have a break out performance. Look closely at his runs there... They were nice but not to impressive (especially the Raleigh open bracket was just not that tough). For a full time pro gamer "ending" such an event on the place that Tyler did is NOT a good result. But well.. Some seeds are just so undeserved... It's actually hard to argue for anyone not to get a seed  ... | ||

He's one of the players I'm rooting for to have a break out performance. While I am happy for Tyler as well that he's got his spot back I wouldn't want to say that he deserved his spot. Tyler didn't get his spot back because he did amazingly well but because there are a lot of players sitting this one out: SeleCT, NaniWa, SjoW, Socke, mOoNan and DongRaeGu have all chosen not to come and would have taken a spot over Tyler. (Listing DongRaeGu here because he's been sent by him team as well besides the invite, that is also the reason I'm not listing all the other Koreans) The fact that he made it very far in the Open twice doesn't really say much and Tyler has stated the same on SOTG after MLG Anaheim: while you have a lot of games to play they are against bad players in comparison so you should slide right through. If you can't win against the second tier of NA players then you have no right to even think about a Pool Play spot. (Note: I conveniently forget the chance here that you get bent over with the brackets and face a first time top Korean/European where you shouldn't) Now that he got lucky with the lower turnout from high seeded players he has his pool play spot back but I am afraid that it will end with a sixth place in his poule. | ||
