They asked Zest some questions in English and he simply could not answer them and they did not have the ability to speak his language. Just one Korean player who speaks decent English is all we need. | ||

Their are one of the biggest affiliate marketing firms in EU, with clients such as Zalando, booking.com and even Deutsche Bahn. Basically anytime you are doing something with an online shop website in Germany, the chances are good that you would come into contact with affilinet. I really wonder how Take does it, he has introduced so many new sponsors to esports! | ||

I guess this Since he is going this early, I could actually see him visiting his old friend Uwe (Boss of Team Expert, former Boss of Team Acer) first. They have a team house called "Bude von Tölz" where he coudl stay and maybe MMA will be back on a team by the time for HSC .Just dreaming here of course, but it's possible! | ||

Some people tend to talk like that. i m bitching cause i have no time to study the subject, you probably have no time too - Anyway, Blizzard has forced 12 collectors to accelerate the game and i think if you compare 2015's Blizzcon games and 2017's Blizzcon games, you will probably not discover a real difference. Of coourse, i cant prove what i m saying cause i have no statistics and no time to spend on it - But i m pretty sure it will open a discussion. All you ll probably find is a shorter middle game (before the first aggressive play except gimmicky strategy as for example, the double archon / prism (...) ) and probably, approximatively the same duration for the beginning of the game. Now the next question is : Is this change a good change ? or in my mind, why do you keep a supposed good change if it doesn t impact the game as his result are not enought visible/usefull.... You could also use mathematics with the first quartile of population (median, third quartile) to define how much time is spend on each segment. The first quartile shoould be probably smaller with 12 collectors. | ||

I'm going to imagine Carmac and Dayvie dressed up in collector suits with BoxeR playing the role of Harbinger. His talk of "taking direct control" makes perfect sense now...
