Dat whiiiiiiine. So good with cheese. -.- Gratz MC you wrecked this week.
Isn't avilo supposed to be a professional (at least, that's what I gather from his presence in the TLPD)? Kind of sad that he's balance whining in pretty much every LR thread when Protoss wins... not that his balance whine really means anything because if he wants to pull the "I'm better than you so I know what I'm talking about" card then I can find you several Protoss pros leagues better of him that disagree with him (Oz, Genius, for example)

Ahh gotcha. I wasn't fully paying attention to the game, the time where I did they seemed to be even. That makes more sense now.

OMG get it for fucks sake: a ticket for the whole weekend is 79€(presale) ask yourself if you would spend that to JUST see starcraft. (one day: 34€ presale, 39€ buy it there)

We need HoTS to spice things up and bring back some of the viewers. But it will never go past 140k views, LoL is a casual game with the stream in the game client which means any player can click on the stream and watch it. Starcraft has a more dedicated community but unfortunately the developer, Blizzard, loses greatly to Riot Games when it comes to promoting the game.

MC back in the winners circle aww yea! The president is back! :D

SC is not getting smaller at all stop telling yourself and others that because it is simply not true.

Storm can zzZzZ just stop whining please, both played great, use logic and reason to find out what happened and not quickly pulling those imba cards out. Here I'll add something to hopefully make you stop: In that critical engagement at the third of MC, MC knew that this was it, he had to hit enormous storms and get a good concave in order to win, he MOVE COMMANDED in to get a better concave before attacking, he sat his templars behind so they all don't get EMP'd, he his GS, he did everything right, Puma sat in the storm(which really helped MC). Sat in what storm, there was no room to micro, he could either sit and keep attacking, or stim his army to the red to run away in time and die anyway after MC chases him, pretty sick move to attack and wait for the templars to get close enough to storm.

Maybe you leave that evaluation to people who actually know what they are talking about. Sorry but you have no clue what IEM's numbers looked like in the past.

There's so many good SC2 tournament that I can't watch them all. -_-" Ok? what shouldve been better? I mean the crowd, ok, but thats nothing to blame IEM for, and everything ran smooth, great casters with caster recap of games. Players were able to cast, you had a breakout player and a really nice final. What else do you want?

Because I'm certain they said there's an empty place for the name of the winner, so it will be written "MC" on it now.

IEM was a great tournament overall Definitely happy with the games and production as a whole ^^

As a terran you just don't force the engagement up the third's ramp knowing there are chargelots and HTs... MC didn't force the engagement up the rampe of Puma's natural, while Puma did the exact opposite in MC's third.

That's exactly the kind of mental fortitude that'll make you a champion soon. See you in Code S, buddy.

i think the main thing about LoL that makes it interesting is watching the teamwork and seeing how coordinated they are especially in terms of ganking and initiating fights. But LoL definitely looks alot slower than dota 2. Only reason LoL is so popular is because its easier to play casually and its free lol
