Very disappointing end to that, taken down in consecutive proxy 2 gates by MMA.
SC2 should really address the presence of cheese. Real sports have no equivalent, most eSports have no equivalent, and SC2 does not benefit in any way from it. This is a spectator sport and there is no bigger turn off than cheese.
On the contrary, cheese is one of the best things in sc2 for a spectator. Keeps games fresh and allows for real high pressure-high focus situations.

Sorry,that I use u as an example, when the phenomenon is widely spread, but could we please only use words, that actually exist? "Rekted" makes my eyes bleed, I can't even imagine, how painful it is to read for a native speaker.

Best thing to happen to the scene in a long time. He was there to host and did that brilliantly and as far as game-knowledge goes I actually prefer that he's not another biased caster/host combo-dude but rather a man from the crowd. Some of his comments and questions to the casters felt like one of my mates from the couch watching it had just appeared to crash the shindig. Felt like a dude of the people, for the people.

I know, what it means and that doesn't mitigate the pain it causes. "Rekt" is not a new word, it is a monstrosity of an abbreviation that should never be used anywhere. "Rekted" is an abomination of "Rekt", that has a double 3rd-person-ending for absolutely no apperent reason. I really feel emotional pain, when reading it, so I have every right to complain about it.
