Man, I get it, don't smoke kids, but these anti-smoking ads on twitch are a little much.
They show ads like that in NY on the local sports channels all fucking day. Disgusting shit. I never have and never will smoke and I hate those fucking ads.

I honestly like the idea of a tournament heavily putting the spotlight on the region's talent instead of inviting the same Koreans to win everything.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I have to disagree, I enjoy watching Koreans play because I want to see the highest level of play possible.

There are so many tournaments that do that, though. I'd like to see more that heavily focus on whatever region they're being held in. Sure, I do feel Koreans should participate, but I see no point in spending a bunch of money to fly in more than a dozen Koreans. 4-5 seems enough to me for many tournaments.

pretty much.
so boxer is an exception to your rule ?
Low blow man, low blow.
(I like Boxer the most because he does crazy builds, plays for the fans, and is an all around good guy)

I don't think they flew in anyone this time, it's an open, so everybody came in on their(or their sponsor's) dime.
Could be in reference to MLG.

Yup, MLG and some other tournaments. A bunch of Koreans should not be flown to every tournament to win. I'd rather have the old MLG model of inviting one for each group, and maybe put one in the open pool; that would mean about 5-6.
I went to play only 20 mins last night to be in bed by 10PM. Next thing I knew it was 1AM and I had completed it all as a Monk.
My reaction:

MLG doesn't invite koreans, they invite top 8 from their last event, which is always %90 korean.

Fuck Twitch. Spent way too much time trying to figure out why it refused to let me see the PPV matches even though I paid.

Seems to be one of the many foreign Toss who won thanks to playing Toss, and now can't handle the nerfs/changes/meta game shift. Cruncher comes to mind as well
wait.wut?
I ran it on high and it looked fantastic art style wise. Super atmospheric in its design, and the usual brand of Blizzard flavor that the game looks appealing but is by no means going to push PC hardware specs.
Played fantastic, albeit easy due to it only being a tutorial section for the game. Had my headphones on though, and god I'm in love with the game music and sound.
You should at least play through it with a class to level 10 and kill the skeleton king.
He's probably one of those "too many bright colors" kind of guys

Looks like MLG fixed the incognito browser exploit. Oh well, back to Dreamhack

You're both being silly and ignoring what he said. Graphics. You said the art style was good, and he said the graphics weren't. Very different things.
Sure, but who plays Blizzard games for graphics? None of them are graphic pushing.
Fuck, your right. Thats all for that I guess.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
"KT Coach Lee: Flash didnt play SC2 for a long time. All the experience he has with SC2 comes from a short period of time while he was in rehabilitation. He didnt even know what the units do or were good at, but he managed to reach masters with ease. I am one of the many that are curious to see how well he will do in SC2."
Stephano is fucking hilarious rofl. I think he had too much of a good time in Vegas

good lord Rachel is so god damn beautiful.
art style is cool but the graphics are super bad.
there is some kind of filter that is actually sucking all the colors in the game, i don't know if you can notice it or not.
i expected the game to have much brighter colors, i'll wait for the retail and see if blizzard adds more options.

Don't hold your breath. Everyone complained it was too colorful and they've already said they're not changing a thing.
Won two games tonight so far, first of 2012. Feels good man. Still something like 2-15, but any win is a good win.
So far the switch to Z hasn't been too bad, liking the race a bunch more than P. Wondering if I should just go T though, since I'd be a solid Silver T vs just being lucky and placing into Silver as Z :|
edit: Cool, come here to brag and get rolled my next 5 games I think I was placed too high because even with my shit record I'm constantly placed against favored opponents :|

I don't enjoy Diablo at all, but even I know the fun people find is all in the higher difficulties. Beta is locked to one of the easier ones.
Me too.I find the beta great fun.
I've put around 15 hours into it this weekend
I've been in the beta for about a month. I stopped myself cold after about 3 hours or I would have had a seriously hard time with school. Looking forward to next weekend when school will be over.
We have a thread for the 8-man PPV but no thread for DH? Ah well, guess it's just the shrinking of sc2gaf
Group stage #3 starts in 2 minutes. Naniwa & Sase have some pretty damn tough groups

The MLG thread was really unnecessary imo.
SC2gaf is not as big as it were in 2010/early 2011, so to make a whole thread for an 8 man tournament behind a pay wall wasn't a smart idea (and it shows since it barely cracked a 2nd page after 2 whole days of play)
Truth. Cot damn.
