Not to mention, it makes for a sick spectator experience. More team rivalry in the SC2 scene, please. This is the best one since TL vs. EG (which really isn't even that consequential tbf) and beats out SlayerS vs. MVP by a mile.

There was a rivalry between SlayerS and MVP? That's news to me :p Agreed, though.

I guess it really was more of a DRG vs. MMA rivalry and those two duking it out in the GSTL. It's a really weird rivalry though; not much fire to it.

Want some more Ash and Gary type of rivalry please.

I don't understand why you guys think StarTale hates Prime. It's just a sense of rivalry, regardless of the controversy that happened. You want to beat people on the team that beat yours, nothing really special honestly.

From a spectator point of view, ace play was good, but puting the situation into perspective, he massively outplaid bbongbbongn in all aspects, got lucky several times and in the end barely won and could have very well lost.
Broodlords/infestors is so cost-effective and inject is so strong that losing drones wasn't that big of a deal.

2 base/3 base all-in Protoss is still the way to go imo.

I guess the last group selection plays a big role in this.
After July said something about it (what I don't remember), MKP said that the day after the GSTL finals he wanted to speak to the ST players about it and they just insulted him.

Ace is awesome. Very cool insight into his thoughts of retiring. I'm glad he didn't because I have been waiting for him to get to Code S for so long. Hopefully he does well!

Ace fighting! I'm glad you didn't retire, last night's games were incredible, and made all the more fantastic because just about everyone didn't think you would make it to Code S.

IIRC July said that most of the Prime players were avoiding ST players after that incident.

Thanks for the write-up storywriter! Btw, anyone that didn't watch Ace vs B4 should definitely do it, the mothership usage was excellent!

I thank you storywriter for the interviews but why the hell does everyone fill a page full with thank yous for storywriter for every single day of GSL? I mean more discussion on the interview, less thanking because he does it every single day and you guys thank him every single day, all im reading is OMG ty storywriter which is wonderful but i think he got the freaking point that you guys are thankful after thanking him too much

because storywriter is awesome!

okay, dislike ace even more after reading his interview, one for denying bbbb that spot, and two for holding a grudge. ST used to be my 3rd fav team, but no longer after these comments (and July's)
