No player/caster bashing, or balance whining. Bans will be handed out like candy. (page 217)
No sexist jokes or anything of that nature either. Be mature people. |

Fun. For the experience. To get the chance to get smashed by pros they know and love.
None of them are looking to win the whole thing, I shouldn't think. If I'm ever around for an MLG (might be next year!) I'll definitely sign up and play.

People make no sense. You don't want lesser skilled players to sign up? Okay then guess what the brackets don't fill up and MLG takes SC2 off the circuit cause no one is signing up. Genius idea.

We need to get Day9 on the mainstage. :D

Wow, MorroW AND TT1!? That's so sick.
I'd love to hear a TT1 analysis of Nani vs Nestea, especially game 3.
Also TT1, <3 you, been a fan since some of the TL Opens that qualified for TSL3, and loved your play at the world championships. Not everyone's a hater. You rule.

I just hope Julia doesnt get affected by LR threads like this. I'm pretty sure that she, as a female gamer, has learned to take the horrible sexist basement virgin trolling in stride, because it's literally impossible to be a female gamer if you let yourself be bothered by that. I really wish it wasn't like that, but it is.  Yup, and that's why there's so few of them. And that's why there aren't any at the top. And that's why guys think girls can't play. Sad but true. >Implying sexism is the reason girls don't play Women are less competitive then men. It's science. Also, most women gamers aren't very good at the games they play as well
> implying sexism is is the reason girls don't play

Come on, are you really that stupid? Please tell me you're trolling or something because haha, you can't be serious. No-one is that dumb, really? oh wait, IT'S SCIENCE.
Women aren't any more or less competetive than men, any general difference is due to the social attitudes (due to sexism) between the sexes. Seriously, read any scientific literature since ever - the differences between sexes are hugely outweighed by the differences between individuals in almost every aspect of personality.

I predict this match will end between 8:19 and 8:40

i would rather watch boxer play practice games

Wasting whose time, exactly? The people watching the stream as MVP roflstomps you? Who cares about those people, seriously?
You enter a tournament for you. If you're a pro, you enter it for you and you win it for you and your fans. Who the hell cares about what anyone else thinks?
If you're a Bronzy and you want to stump up £50 to go get stomped by Losira on main stage, your £50 goes into my stream and the prize money for the pros. You're welcome to do it.

Well, they do that anyway. At least if you do a stupid build you might make people laugh.

If the chick plays the god damn game then she is a player you fucking prick. By your logic if you aren't at the very top level of play, you shouldn't even play the game at all, since it obviously isn't worth the time. I agree though, it is fun to see a obviously superior player play well against someone.. I would love, for instance, to watch him crush the shit out of you and make you look even worse than her. They were getting Losira streamed so she got to go on stage, in the open bracket not every game is going to be idra vs nestea nor anywhere close. Where did I say I was better then her? Is that like the law of discussion "If you are not higher ranked, you need to shut the fuck up!"? And why do you put words in my mouth? As a viewer. I don't enjoy medicore experiences from my POV, which I pointed out. She is a bad player compared to the caliber of the opponent and that makes it less enjoyable. And seems like oyu have a personal opinion of me, which is rather sad. I mean, would it make any difference if it said chokke or RTGYHU or whatever? And with the recet totally-fair-female-only -cup to give females exposure, we have the only chick in the winner bracket play on main stage casted by the men [tastosis obviously] seems rather suspicious. But lal the games are crap now, so I don't know why I am not sleeping.
Seems rather suspicious? Why it was a matchup with a premium Korean player, just like how they are showing Puzzle vs. an amateur/person playing for fun.

Not much to analyse in the Nestea Nani series...
