the finals were just insane

Found it ironic that everyone would cheer and clap every time coL.Red would win a map, but when Loaded won a map it was dead silent. Best team at the event won, and that's how its supposed to be. Loaded #1.

Buttonbashers ftw! epic finals really I was falling of my chair awesome matches but final was cherry on the top :)

Gratz, well deserved victory after every sponsored team said RMP is not viable in tournaments anymore :-)
Also heads up for SK.US for playing so well against ArenaPwnage, it warmed my heart seeing how Realz just wouldn't go down against the most ridiculous wizard cleave setup there is.

What do you expect when it's America vs Korea in America? do you think the Koreans would be going nuts if coL.Red won a map? and the fact everyone expected Loaded.Black to win but alot wanted the underdogs aka coL.Red to win but obviously it didn't happen that way and if they used RMP to begin with who knows but going into a finall 1-3 down against these guys is always going to be a near impossible task but coL.Red played some fucking amazing games but overall the better team won.

I don't get though how an event with just 13 teams and 3 players each (except 4 for coL.Red) has such insane delays, arena games ain't that long but fuck me you wait about an hour per match the stream is plagued with commercials being yanks and it's like players take an absolute AGE to set up and for everything to start. You look at the big CS events and compare them to MLG and it's like black and white, sometimes MLG only has 8 teams and it still takes an age between matches. But when you have an event run by yanks who only want to advertise the most retarded shit known to man then what do you expect, some of the games were amazing but the loooooong waiting between each match and the same cheesy as fuck commercials being spammed left right and center made this MLG event almost unwatcheable, thank fuck I got a tv behind me to watch during all these delays.

MLG is a good event and I follow every one as much as I can but it deserves alot better than this, the guys commentating are always good and they do alot of nice shit like interviews and voice-in for this event but the delays rip apart its reputation. I think this tweet from Nerdstompers says it all:

"2-2 draw with EG. Had to get these kids to the airport since MLG is the worst ran event ever. Did chop the fk out of Cdew G1 tho"

As far as games quality, best even so far. Loads of good games, finals were freaking amazing. But, the breaks between matches were unbearable. Especialy for the .eu folks out there. Sunday games went on till midnight in .eu countries where I feel like if they organised the schedule better all of it could have ended 2 or 3 hours later. Same for saturday, hell I don't even know when they finished on saturday. I am also amazed how every single event the commentators are saying "this was the best even so far", hell no. None of it makes sense, I understand that these people get payed for what they do but please dont bring up the "best event" again if it doesnt apply. All in all, a good schedule for all the matches would have solved these problems. You know you could do a bunch of games and then have an 1 hour break or w/e . And maybe show 1 or 2 commercials between the game series but not 20 mins of friggin commercials/random camera shots. Honestly, best even my ass lol. GAMES WERE GOOD, EVERYRTHING ELSE WAS TERRIBLE

Another few things that boiled my piss, when they go on these frequent breaks they sometimes keep the camera on the player area so you can see them talking, laughing away and setting up yet they keep the MLG logo on the screen bang on the center taking up about 60% of the screen so we can't even see shit for the entire break, I posted about that ALOT on the live blog but then it comes down to another thing.

The admins on live blog are the most retarded fuckers in the MLG, they post the most retarded comments like "PLEASE POST THIS I WANNA BE FAMOUS" yet when you ask a serious question it is NEVER answered and instead you got random fags trolling on the blog, I mean why have this live blog if you only use it to troll bullshit and not for anything worthy?

So not only did they have an insane about of delays and breaks but as I said when you got a break from the cheesefest commercials you're forced to look at a logo taking up most of the screen while reading a live blog being trolled by retards. I got no clue who runs these MLG events or how many people they have doing it but the ONLY thing keeping this event alive are the games themselves because 90% of what MLG brings fails, the commentators are good the new audio-feed is good but everything else is a fucking joke.

Get someone with an IQ over 90 to run the event and keep it on a proper schedule, cut back on the cheesefest breaks so you can plug some fucking chewing gum that changes flavours (omg jizz) for the 800th time and get rid of the monkeys doing live blog and swap them with proper people with functioning brains to post useful information and answer proper questions and you have a very good event.

You kinda put up with all this shit just because it's pretty much the only place you can see the top wow players doing arena offline and with a stream but when you take a step back and analyze the event as a whole you can't help but feel it's a complete and utter shambles from start to end. I just hope they do better come August the 27th but my hopes are low.

And I think the Saturday games finished around 2-3 AM but I'm not 100% sure on that since I said fuck it and gave up earlier, nerdstompers played EG during the championship bracket, and considering this game was a group game that was supposed to be played on FRIDAY that had zero meaning at all, it sums up this event.

Oh and I forgot to add, forgive my ramblings!

Did anyone else watch when they went on a break for like 20 mins, then they come back and say the server died and it'd be up in 10-15 mins only to take about 1 hour and 20 mins, then when it was back up they went to fucking EAT, I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK?????

There is a delay of over an hour and they only decide to go eat WHEN IT COMES BACK ONLINE. Instead of eating DURING that downtime they eat AFTER it so instead of waiting 1 hour and 20 mins you wait almost TWO HOURS. Then to delay the event even more they show some STARCRAFT 2 MATCHES, ZOMG?!

I can see why they did it, but when the event is plagued with delays is adding even more delays the best thing to do?

good luck SK Gaming USA

Loaded is the best rmp in the world

anyone got the finals uploaded on youtube or something?

Realz told he take top four must and he got it ^ ^ lol
Satzz owns em carried by Numberone's instant dispels.
Did somebody hear Woundman's voice ^ ^

if it wasn't for the 30min-1hour delays between games, this tournament might of topped anaheim.

but because of that it never.

Congratulations to all the teams.
