I get it

No apparently you do not, special events(such as this one) is what a true Kong will win.

This should be fun. I won't buy a ticket since I'm still protesting (see spoiler since its not directly relevant to this thread) but I'd be happy to give Gom my viewer count if I happen to be awake.

I'll be rooting for MKP all the way! Regardless of whether or not he's the Once and Future Kong, I just want him to win because I enjoy watching him play. (He is the Once and Future Kong though. The Nearly-Chosen One, so to speak.)



+ Show Spoiler +
I'm not protesting Gom punishing Naniwa for throwing a game, I just think its unprofessional of them to arbitrarily remove the mlg code S spot without telling mlg, and for changing the "highest placing non code s person gets code s" to "we'll give the top two people spots in a special event" after the fact.

This isn't relevant to the thread so if you disagree please either pm me or post in one of the threads on this topic. However, I feel obligated to put something about it because otherwise my consumer action would be totally ineffective as a way to encourage a corporation to change their business practices.

No, like said a couple times before a true Kong wins special events and this is one.
By that rule the winner of this event is the true Kong.

No the winner is the true Kong because the true Kong always wins the special events. The loser will only strengthen his claim on the Kong line but not fully establish it. The only winner in this tournament is the viewers.

There is no "point of the tournament". It's just a tournament and I'm just saying that the Line-Up could be better.
If NOT, then anybody could tell the reason, why there is no MMA, MVP, MC, Nestea etc. and why there is only 1 Protoss...

But beside this, I will watch it anyway, cause I watch all :D Never missed a Match xD

the tournament is only open to people who have never won and have gotten runner up in GSLs

feel free to google Yellow/kong to understand


I guess you have missed a match if you can't see the logical connection between all the players :p

So practically everyone who makes the finals is a Kong. Either the "Special Event" winner Kong or the eternal 2nd place Kong. MKP better lose on purpose in the first round to break the curse.
