Well, because BIGGER FONT and placing certain things in front provide emphasis to facts. News articles are written so that the most important facts are first. By emphasizing this particular piece of information, which is not the heart of the information, it is leading. For example, consider an article about alien prisons that says ONE IN THREE KLINGONS GO TO PRISON at the top. Clearly that is leading you to think that Klingons are a race of criminals, despite what other facts may follow later in the article. And even if Klingons turned out to be a race of criminals, that line is still leading. There are other considerations as well as to the context and climate of the environment you're writing about. You should be very aware of things like this in order not to be manipulated by the media. | ||

You should be very aware of things like this in order not to be manipulated by the media. These are very valid points, except I have to disagree slightly. Because the fact that very few terrans were advancing/were already in Code S has been a running theme and consistent talking point here on TL throughout Code A it is not surprising that this particular fact was chosen as the headline. Many (though certainly not all) starcraft fans were hoping for a little more terran representation in Code S. Those that could not watch last night's games probably went to TL thinking "I wonder who advanced?" The headline concisely answers this question by stating that the two terran players did not advance, thus confirming that the two zerg players advanced. Then again this is a pointless argument and I'm not sure why I wrote all this but now that I did I guess I have to hit post. | ||

What the hell how did this get twisted to me being naive and unable to keep my views from being controlled by the media? This got strange. | ||

If this Trend continious and we end up with swarmhost / broodlord slugfests or Split Map nothing Happens for half an Hour Games in pvz i See The viewerbase decrease drasticly. Lets Hope The 3 Terrans advance as far as possible so The Games are enjoyable and no zvz hell ... Gl maru !! These are the words of someone who has watched maybe 2 PvZs. PvZ has way more variability, and would be considered better than TvZ if people didn't have this 3 year old illogical obsession with all things Terran. Korean Zergs aren't consistent users of swarm hosts and produce some great PvZ. Try it sometime! | ||

It's extremely leading and unprofessional, in my opinion. People can see for themselves. Regardless, the distribution is a bit worrisome, but hopefully it will change next season! It's actually the opposite. It's professional to mention the elephant in the room that everyone will mention. To ignore the obvious and pretend it isn't there would be unprofessional and misleading. | ||
