The removal of the islands is sad, it was a unique feature amongst todays pool of tournament maps. It could have created some cool strategies. Does anyone remember in the gsl open season 2 finals where mkp went for the island expansion on scrap station and was going for a huge 2/2 marine drop timing attack but then nestea nydus'd and baneling busted him just in time to win the game? That shit was awesome and we need more of it.

Diablo 3 beta was not good :\

I'd say y'all would come crawling back quickly, but the hook of Diablo-esque games reminds me of gamblers at pokie machines. 90% of the loot will be worthless, 9% will be repaints and anything actually worthwhile will be acquirable only through dumb luck and endless playthroughs. Now theres even more randomness in Diablo 3 than Diablo 2, might lose some of you until HoTS :P

Quote:
New York – May 11, 2012 –Major League Gaming (MLG), the world’s largest competitive video game league, and the Korean eSports Association (KeSPA), announced today an exclusive multi-year global partnership that will bridge the Western and Korean StarCraft worlds. As part of the collaboration, KeSPA players will compete in MLG events—marking the first time in eSports history that KeSPA players will participate in video game tournaments in the United States.

The partnership will kick off at the MLG Spring Championship in Anaheim, CA on Saturday, June 9 at 9pm PT, when KeSPA Pro players will compete in a StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty exhibition tournament. Participants will be selected from the top KeSPA teams; the players will be announced in the coming weeks. Spectator Passes for the event are now available online. For those not attending in person, the expo match and the entire Spring Championship will be broadcast LIVE online via HD streams at www.majorleaguegaming.com.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the most prestigious eSports league in the world, and feel our partnership will forever change competitive gaming,” said Sundance DiGiovanni, CEO of Major League Gaming. “KeSPA has long been a true leader in this industry and has been instrumental in its success, and this is just the beginning of our work together. We look forward to continued growth and expansion in the years to come.”

“We are pleased to join with MLG to bring the best players in the world to the international stage,” said Lee Young Hee, President of KeSPA. “Together, KeSPA and MLG are building the global future of our sport.”

Pretty awesome, I'm guessing it will be Flash, Bisu, Jaedong (not sure how much SC2 he's playing, doesn't even talk about it), and probably the SKT1 players that have been playing a lot.


Getting sick of the constant blue balling of the MLG guys on Twitter, constantly dropping references and saying "TL/Reddit will be blown away, hold onto your butts!"

Wow, MLG going balls to the wall. I must admit, I thought IGN would be the company securing major deals like that. It makes sense though, considering MLG's partnership with GOM ended awhile ago.

An exhibition tournament sounds like a good idea. No need putting them in the open MLG bracket and having Destiny beat Flash

If there is a hell for Platinum League, I have arrived there.

I lost to a Protoss doing a 5-gate all in after I had Stim and Concussive Shell because I went back to save my base, forgetting entirely that Terran building can fly. It took about 10 minutes after the initial fight for me to die completely too, which just made it worse. I then had a Zerg try to 1-base Nydus me with Roaches and it took me 15 mins to win that game out due to Baneling land mines and me not scanning like a good Terran.

Son of a bitch.

Platinum felt like the most unfun league to be in. At least in bronze you could do stupid shit and have fun, and in masters you play relatively skilled opponents that are satisfying to defeat.

Plat victories felt like "Yay I played less retardly that than guy did wooo."
