Crazy weekend. Trying to keep up with all the SC2, proleague playoffs, MK9/KOF13 at MLG, and NCR while writing 3 reviews. =O
Huk vs Naniwa G2 was yet another awesome PvP. Didn't get to catch much from the MKP/DRG series, how was it?
Really good, best TvZ of the tounry imho.
MKP did some biomech builds and had some really sick medvac+thor micro (esp. that last game)

Nice slip up Day9  I was waiting for the crowd to react a littlre more 
Glad to know that there isn't alot of bad blood between EG and Liquid.
EDIT: "Whose name does not start with 'L'"

what a strange play from parting. Cancel nexus and build wall of nexus. I dont think was necessary. Now he is really behind.
|
Huk was always one step ahead... I mean jsut awesome play by Huk.
Normally I find PvP boring but when it's Huk it's almost exciting.

I'm curious if it would be possible for MLG to just do an extended commercial run between sets as opposed to between games. They run commercials after every. single. game. When they're done, we have to wait another few minutes that we get to spend staring at the crowd and the players in their booths.
It seems to me that doing something like Gom does, where they go straight through the series and then run commercials, would make for a better viewing experience.

Probably intentional, to get people to pay for the stream, so they wont get commercials.

Even without ads u still have to watch downtime as said above.

Ah true. Guess you could watch another stream meanwhile. But yeah, it's a bit annoying with the commercials, but doesn't bother me too much when it's free.

Someone now has a "DO NOT CLENCH FISH" sign (the clenched fish is drawn). ^_^

The only thing that bothers me is the constant random black screen and mute it happens.
The ads dont bother me too much. (adblock also works)

What would really be fair is if you could go 3-2 in sets with someone and end up losing. That would be fair. It is more fair if a player who has won fewer sets can still win.
e.g. Win 2-0 in WB, lose 1-2 when you play them again. Total = 3-2 but you lost the last one so you get knocked out.
Well that wouldn't be an extended series at all, you're basically just saying the first match's results should not affect the second, that's not an extended series. Many people don't like the extended series rule and all you're really suggesting is that they scrap it.
I actually don't like it either and think that if someone wants to use an extended series rule, it should just be the best of whatever it would have been (or +2, will explain) but with the previous match counting for 1 win, regardless of the actual score.
e.g. 2-0 in one series, Person A advanced, meets up with Person B later though, a best of 5 is played, but starting at 1-0 in favour of person A. Alternatively, if that is too harsh, it's a Best of 7 instead of the Best of 5, but starting 1-0 for Person A.
Currently, I think the rule is just a little more harsh, I believe they said it goes to 4 more than normal (bo9 instead of bo5 for the final), but with the 2-0 or 2-1 carrying over, although with it being out of 5/9 instead of 3/7, the previous results obviously account for a lower percentage of the final series' number games to be played.
Good move by MLG to increase the number though, I think just about everyone finds a Best of 3 stupidly short for a final.

Yeah, exactly. I had adblock on and then thought "no, these black screens cutting the stream (forcing a page refresh to get it to work) are annoying and I get the feeling it's from ads, but I guess they wouldn't actually be playing ads during the games" but then it cut out during a game and said I had to turn adblock off to view it, so I did, only to receive a couple of ads immediately upon load, which is really lame when you're trying to watch the final game of MarineKing vs DongRaeGu. >_<
If there were only ads in the break, I don't mind leaving them on in the background, but you're there to watch the show, not the ads, so if ads play during the game, it is only going to make me turn adblock back on.

Great games! However, I have a question. Is the stream on a big delay? The results have already been posted on MLG and liquipedia for the Huk-Heart match.
|
Day[9] is making me miss the days of Liquid'HuK... Much love to HuK even though he's on EG.

Why is HuK coughing all the time. Looks alarming - he is coughing more than all other players combined.
|
Is anyone getting insane amounts of lag? I can't even stream the main stage without getting the glowing MLG popup every 5 seconds. I can't go any higher than medium without it lagging even worse.
|
Arrrhck, they could have Day[9] and Artosis and instead of it's JP with Rob (only really good at hosting, not commentating+fine) on one and the second casters (obvious comments and not interesting commentary for me at least) on the other. :'(
I guess Day[9] really never will commentate with either Artosis or Tasteless.

Sorry for Socke, but it was pretty much impossible to win with Huk's 2:0 lead. Good games though! You make it sound like the set up isn't fair. I like when they do extended series so that it doens't cheat the 1st winner. why should they start on equal footing when Huk clearly beat him the 1st time.
Well, by that logic, they should take in consideration the whole match history of 2 players.
If it's 39:2, wel then win 39 times! Wouldn't be fair outerwise!
/irony off
Had Socke played somebody else of the group-first players, he would have had a better chance. How is that fair?

Extended serious is dumb.
The huk vs heart is going to best of 7 or 9?
|
I agree, although that's not irony. 
The first win though, trancey, gives the winner the opportunity to play from the winner's bracket, or, in pool play, a greater chance of going straight to the winner's bracket and the later they fall out, the further into the loser's bracket they would be playing from. If someone fights all the way back from the loser's bracket, they've already earned their right to an equal match should they meet again much later on.
EDIT: I'm sure the extended series between Huk and Heart is a b07, as it would otherwise have been bo7.
They add four games to the total, but as you know, they keep the 2-0 or 2-1.
