And because almost every PvZ ended in
a) Protoss 1/2 base timing
or
b) Protoss makes Archon Toilet, gg one way or other depending on result of that toilet

Its back in the current build actually, but radically changed. No more persistent cloak for instance.

So how about Blizz and MLG...

AGar · Post Post #1705 (ISO) » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:42 am

Ok, MLG decided to not be retarded. Good for them!

Anyways, I really want Tarson to qualify for TSL4 so I can just shout TARSON HOLDS! every game he plays.

I'd also like to see the big guns of EG actually, y'know,

attempt

to qualify.

Thorzain is already qualified though. Although I'd love Huk and/or Idra to try, I don't think they would right now. (sadface)

AGar · Post Post #1707 (ISO) » Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:39 am

Huk is in todays bracket. IdrA, JYP, PuMa and DeMu haven't even attempted yet.

None of them are good enough.

Nerchio got in.

All of them are "good enough."

Are we talking about the same PuMa here?

Not to mention that TSL is still one of the marquis events and regardless of whether you think you are "good enough" or not, if you're making a living out of this, you need to be trying to qualify. 2 of the 3 winners of TSL essentially launched their careers off of it, the lone exception being NonY in TSL2.

This is sad, but this is the first time I've ever watched HSC, and now I know why everyone loves it.

I lose a little respect for any tournament where the group stages are so poor in terms of player quality that IdrA, of all people, can 3-0.

AGar · Post Post #1714 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 8:32 am

Yes, how dare someone who has those kind of mechanics and has a track record of success break their slump and 3-0 a group. The travesty.

Seriously, do you actually take your head out of your ass before you post or do you just keep it in there so you can deny acknowledging the world isn't flat every time you say something.

You're right, how dare I question a player who hasn't won a single major tournament since 2010
Silly me
And feel free to tell me how

relevant

and

dangerous

Bling, Bly and ClouD are (they're not)

IEM Ghangzhou was in 2011.

Keep swinging.

Knight of Cydonia · Post Post #1717 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 9:32 am

I said major

AGar · Post Post #1718 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 9:48 am

Code S has only had 8 champions, so why do you really care about any one else in that case?

Knight of Cydonia · Post Post #1719 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:33 am

GSL, GSTL, OSL, Proleague, MLG.
These are majors.
IEM? Nah son.

Claus · Post Post #1720 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 1:38 pm

The games in HSC yesterday were pretty cool, but the casting + chats between games were annoying me for some reason.

Also loved that Nestea 6pool in the last game yesterday *guilty pleasure*

AGar · Post Post #1721 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 1:46 pm

You cited a teamleague and two BW leagues in your "majors" which you'd count as considering a player worthwhile if they won.

Ignoring IPL, IEM and DH shows you're just trying to be a whiny bitch about IdrA actually doing well.

Knight of Cydonia · Post Post #1722 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:01 pm

Except OSL is now a SC2 league, Proleague will be switching over fully after this season, and both of them are considerably more important to the scene than IPL, IEM or DH.
The fact that IdrA does well at those tournaments should tell you a lot about the level of competition and the seriousness with which the few top-tier players who do attend treat them.

UberNinja · Post Post #1723 (ISO) » Thu Jul 05, 2012 3:07 pm

I played this for the first time the other day and fucking blew

fucking stalkers, how do they work??

IPL 4 had half of Code S.

Keep striking out chief.
