Fuck nani

Fuck you, i don't care about his attitude. The guy often displays shear genius on screen and he is a foreigner. Accept the great white hope despite his flaws.

Everytime i see him play i'm reminded of catz saying scarlett is the best foreigner in the world on SOTG, and proceed to laugh.

I HEART ASPIES

Hero's mouse bungee thing was freaking me out. I'm like wtf is that!

nope

if hyun and polt both go finals without going to losers sorta borks the rules.

This sucks so much for HerO. Hyun only needs to win once vs HerO's 3 more games.

I think coming from the losers bracket vs a winner should be 1 point instead of 2. Thats half the score already needed vs the 4 the loser needs to win to get the set.

Yes the winner should be rewarded for winning his matches but 2 points in a match is a lot, a lot too much.

The way that this is set up, at this tier of the tournament, the winner would be penalized for winning in that scenario.

Question, were the person entering this round from losers not a loser to the person in winners, would it just be a standard double elim?

In the 2-1 case the extended series actually already favors the guy from the losers. It's just that broken.

Wait I'm confused here. Can you explain why the winner has the disadvantage?

Well, if the alternate situation is a standard double elimination (which I actually am not sure if that is the case, which is why I added the question), the loser bracket person actually GAINS a win in extended series. The winner loses more if an advantage vs standard double elim if they were hypothetically only awarded 1 win, OR in the actual case they get a 2-1 win.

The extended series rule is inbalanced differently at different points of the tourney. Every game before it merges with winners the winner is favored. The game where the brackets merge, it can favor the loser.

 

[Majine]

Manner overseers!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Hyun is so OP. With that said, great great defense by Hero. 200 supply vs 100 and he still held it off so amazingly.

 

[Majine]

Was that MaximusBlack with the sign "I'm not CombatEx"? :lol.

 

[celestial body]

Was that MaximusBlack with the sign "I'm not CombatEx"? :lol.

Yep.

Great live turnout for SC2, wasn't expecting that, especially considering the weaker than usual player roster.

 

[Corran Horn]

Sc2 documentaries will never come out.

 

[Deadman]

Stream really low fps, or just me?

 

[Keikaku]

Stream really low fps, or just me?

It's fine for me.

 

[Majine]

Let's go Polt!

 

[demosthenes]

Polt - Great American Hero.

 

[Mindlog]

Lame. Polt should have been introduced to the tune of, 'Stars and Stripes Forever.'

 

[DrForester]

Wow, such harsh trash talking.

 

[Majine]

Hyun trying to win the crowd over, haha.

 

[jersoc]

Stream really low fps, or just me?

1080 jumps a lot for me :|

I want hyun, but expect polt to take it 4-3.

also, im glad they are semi trash talking now. the answers were always so boring.

 

[DrForester]

TeamPolt

 

[demosthenes]

TeamPolt

The only time I will ever cheer for Texas.

 

[Sub_Level]

I don't know why the Blops 2 stream is showing me nothing but Whataburger commercials but it's working.

 

[demosthenes]

What an amazing first game.

 

[DrForester]

This is amazing.

 

[dmr87]

Dem HSMs.

 

[TUSR]

oh my god Polt!

 

[jersoc]

first game and this is already insane.

 

[Mairu]

I'm glad I managed to free up enough time to watch these finals. This is about all I've watched other than a couple other games here and there.

 

[dmr87]

BATTLECRUISER OPERATIONAL

 

[demosthenes]

I am not worthy.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Great game.

 

[Keikaku]

Both Hyun and Polt played really, really well there. I'm glad that Polt made the transition to BCs just in time.

 

[Crimsonlink]

HOLY BCs! WOW! Just amazing especially at the ramp.

Cannot wait for game 2.

 

[Mindlog]

Well you don't see that too often. I hope the rest can be as different and entertaining.

 

[Vaporak]

That was a cool game, glad I tuned in for the finals.

 

[WARCOCK]

hots > wol :/

 

[Won]

Like a storm of a million needles raining down on those Ultras. Poor things.

 

[StopMakingSense]

It's not a big deal #MLG @QuanticGaming

.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What a fantastic battle.

 

[Sub_Level]

Just Losers Final and then Final Championship left for BLOPs 2. Should all be finished within an hour. Complexity vs. Optic or Impact

 

[Durante]

Those sponsored PCs sure seem reliable.

 

[demosthenes]

hots > wol :/

Why the face?

 

[Hazaro]

Great Game 1.
CoD with CoL vs Optic was surprisingly good (Energy wise).
And now Marvel is on CEO.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[calder]

Well the first two rounds of the draft is over and I missed... well almost all off the championship round. Oh well, sounds like game one was great, I'll track down that vod ASAP.

STEVE POLT!

 

[Syf]

That game one was incredible! Such a huge hit on the Infestors. Gogo POLT!

 

[Crimsonlink]

Tied back up. Getting really heated up! Go Polt! Take the 2-1 lead.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhh

I know too much. I had the soccer confed cup too to watch. I think this is the last big sc2 tourney of the summer right? I'd rather focus on mlg

 

[calder]

Great macro game, but you let a Zerg get up that kind of economy and their first attack will be, well, as devastating as Hyuns was. Wow, that was a shit ton of lings, banes and roaches .
