I think most people need to read streloks interview one more time. He is not saying "NO KOREANS NO INVITES". HE just think there were too many invites, specially the "forigners" in korea like Idra, Liquid guys. And I can agree with that, even tho I like theese players, I think they should have been forced to play in the normal qualifiers and only invites should have been "real" koreans.

Uh, no. He said that they in his opinion either should make it foreigner only, or only invite the koreans. As I said earlier. This is the Team Liquid starleague. It would make no sense whatsoever if the liquid players didn't compete in it.

Yeah, just like they did in TSL1 and TSL2... oh wait.

If you're gonna go all out emo, and talk about Liquid fanboys on Team fucking Liquid.net, you should pack and leave, kid.


Now that's some strong argument. You've just proved my statement.

What are you even doing on this site? You're talking down on the community you're trying to be a part of. It's just sad.

Not wanting a freepass for every Luiquid-Player and not supporting them are two diffrent things. entirely diffrent things.


Gosh... You know why the Koreans give such bad and bland interviews?
Because people like you begin to shit at each other as soon as there is some line that could start a discussion.

first of all, great interviews!

secondly, am i the only one who hates how koreans answer interviews? i really don't know if it's cultural thing or not, but it's like fruitdealer got no personality whatsoever. he answered his questions with one-two short sentences, with usual "i wiill practice hard and try to win" bullshit. compared to the other 3, his interview was the worst one.


I am signing the "great interviews" part, loved them, but not some reactions by users to streloks one
in the comments.

so I guess the reason for FDs interview style you can also see in this reactions. when people get all mad, wirte something like ".. lost a fan" and a big attack and defense discussion would start, when I would write my honest opinion on a subject or say something that can be seen somewhat negative, then I would also think twice next time what I want to reveal of myself and it doesnt matter if streloks point is valid or not.. is just his opinion, it wont change the way the world works, but people are way overreacting.

so I guess this FD style of interview is this sort of professional kind of interview where you want to give the bare minimum, let the world remain in peace and just keep your head free for the games. also bear in mind that the foreign scene are even more unknown waters for him in this regard.

It should be pointed out that Strelok's interview has been edited to make it more representative of what he intended. As such, those reading it now will probably interpret it differently from those reading it earlier. Either way, feel free to agree or disagree, but don't flame.

I don't know if you're an idiot or just a troll. I enjoyed TSL2 and TSL3, but I don't like current format and agree with Strelok. And I'm not talking down on community, only on the worst representatives.

Last time I checked there were 7 members of team Liquid. Or do you seriously think that registering on a forum on the internet is a privelege?

Thanks for the Interviews and gogo Tyler!
I've never been so hyped for tournament, and that is thanks to the korean invites. So far everything TL did for their Starleagues, for all of them, was top notch. I don't agree with Strelok.

How can Korean success be bad for TSL? 99% of the people on TL creamed their pants when it was revealed MC/Nestea/MVP were going to play. And why does Strelok assume Koreans don't care about this tournament? I've yet to see one Korean say that.


I think you overestimate how many people got excited for the Koreans.

Being around for the first 2 TSLs, watching the grind of the qualifying ladders, the surges players made to reach the top 48 in the waning hours of the ladder phase, then the grind of the qualifiers - like someone said, there was a story to it.

A number of the Korean players, I don't care about them now, and I won't care about them later. Half the bracket being invites takes away that feel of "Wow - you really earned this," that there was when a player made it to the Ro16 in the previous TSLs.

I do remember NonY and Drone both had to qualify for TSL2 on their own merit. Liquid wasn't as active of a team then, but the point remains - Liquid players weren't automatically invited into the previous TSLs, they had to earn their spot.

Yes I do. This site is by far the best community site there is. To find your way here, discussing the game you love is a huge privilege.
Talking smack about team liquid fanboys is pretty retarded, considering you're posting on team liquid. You basically either love it or don't play starcraft.

The difference here is that without a Korean qualifier, it makes it literally impossible for the Liquid' players to qualify for TSL. That's just horribly unfair to them - they've given up a lot to go to Korea and play for Liquid', and not inviting them is a bit of a slap in the face. Whether or not they were the most qualified is another debate, but given that Team Liquid is hosting the tournament, compromises must be made. Notice that TLO was not invited but left to qualify on his own.

As the administration explained at the very beginning, the logistics of holding Asian qualifiers were a true nightmare. This is unfortunate, and hopefully future TSLs will be able to remedy this, but we can't have it all.

going down to Code A makes me worry a lot about his current skill level and level of preparedness.


How much of a spoiler is that?
Do you really think that putting this sentence after the word "but.." in spoiler tags will make your statement completely spoilerless??
From what you write it is TOTALLY OBVIOUS that boxer (who JUST played) lost today
