Re: MLG Winter Championships March 23-25

Maybe this section is one of the best he could have asked for, but realistically, he's still a pretty big underdog to make it through. A 30% chance may be relatively good compared to a bunch of 10% chances (just pulling these numbers out of my ass, so don't take them seriously), but it's still bad.

I'm just going to end it there, because we pretty obviously have different opinions of Jinro. Honestly, I've never really been super high on him.

Edit: To be fair though, Crazymoving was probably more impressive in that one series than Idra's ever been in ZvP. That muta control.

Hopefully the series will be streamed. Have to check the schedule


Anyway, going through reddit posts someone makes a good point about the antiga game. It was a blessing for polt to be down to 27 workers. His Army size was insane compared to Stephano with his 80+ workers. That didn't even occur to me.

SC2 casting is very subpar and stagnant. But then again I compare it to actual professionals like the NCAA tournament. Yet I find myself paying more for GSL and HQ MLG than the NCAA tourney.
Obviously casters are going to get engagements wrong some % of the time. Its a new game, its a very complex game, its played at a super fast pace + a few other factors my tired brain can't think of right now.

Casting sc2 is a lot more demanding than a basketball game, and allows a lot more opportunities for casters to look bad.

Re: MLG Winter Championships March 23-25

Minigun is one series win away from getting into group play. Unfortunately it'll be against either RgnArtist or TSLALive.

Rain 2-0'd Drewbie. Set to play Winner of Korean Killer or Symbol, Killer is up 1-0.

Idra plays JYP.

Inori vs Heart coming up on A stream.

Re: MLG Winter Championships March 23-25

Wonder why they are choosing Puma vs DDE over Nony vs Thorzain. I figure Nony/Thorzain would attract many more viewers.
