Double negative bites you in the ass here
actually it makes sense (kind of)... he's saying 'if you don't know anything about starcraft (insulting waxangel), then don't call me a cheesy player'
but seriously... the grammar is pretty bad so it's difficult to make out. AN cheesy? really? I'm hoping that was a typo :/
the grammar editting might be something to take seriously if he cares about his image... but in the end I guess it's only results that matter, he just has to go out and beat Sen
It's weird for TL to open a preview with a bunch of criticism of the event they're covering. I think it would be more appropriate to have a separate article for it and the timing is really weird since there's nothing NASL can do about it at this point. The tournament as players thing is a cool idea but it's a little convoluted as it encompasses BW achievements. I do I like the astute predictions.
Looking forward to these great games. Especially rooting for terrans to show us some effective TvP other than 1-1-1. I feel it has become a unanimous struggle as of late for terrans.
I feel like NASL got burned a bit too much in a preview that is supposed to by hyping the nasl finals. I agree that nasl has its share of problems, but I feel like the finals article is a bad place to be analyzing those problems.
I think it's fine to have NASL criticism in the finals hype article, it's not TL.net's job to do promo work for NASL. But it might've been more entertaining to open with the predictions/player analysis then move onto the criticisms later, possibly closing with a "suggestions for season 3" section to end on a fun note.
Although then you wouldn't have closed with the awesome Hwangsin/NASL comparison...
I don't know anything but I saw Idra absolutely steamroll like five high-ranked GM players in less than an hour when he streamed the other day. Like, war crimes may be filed.
Nice preview. I didn't watch any of the games this season. Not enough time to watch everything these days, so much Starcraft so little time D: I'll tune into this for sure though, can't wait!
The flames here are entertaining. I am on my second bag of popcorn... keep'em'coming. Btw...shouldn't admins put a stop to this? even if it's about wax and tt1.....normal users could look up to them ;\
@Wax..the "they're all in" last part was amazingly funny..i almost chocked :D
Man, for some reason this article makes me want to watch less (as someone who doesn't really have time to follow every league). Doesn't TL have a business relationship with these tourneys in regards to producing some positive hype? Just curious, seemed a little too critical for a Finals hype article and I think I remember Kennigit discussing on SOTG the general nature of these types of relationships as they pertain to TL. Though of course, I may just being talking out of my ass so forgive me if I am.

Sadly, i have to agree. I for one i know i won't watch some matches of some players after reading this article :D
Of course we support all events as we want to scene to grow, but we are also proud to be honest, fair-handed, and tactful with our well researched news commentaries and assessments. But it is not as if they pay us to give them good press, as far as I know.
