Group B
Xiaofeng 'Sky' Li
Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang
Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen

MLW's statement:
"if Moon loses to Gruby I'll leave this page forever (not kidding this time)."

haha come on stop this "if player "x" lose i will quit etc" don't want to be the only one left here haha miss the old times ffs

xD

Fake statement

Yes Fake statement. :D
Said this b4 Wcg if both Moon and Nubby made it to final and Moon lwould have lost another final but since it didnt go that way. This is just some semi important sub match.

nice prizepool btw

30k euros for wc3

I think MLW is retarded but this time i believe than MooN will win Grubby

In this group, moon is the favorite then sky and grubby. And yes the price pool is huge. 15k$ for 1st is more than wcg which was 10K$ I think.

With a little bit of luck,Happy could go all the way this time.I hate him as a person,but it would be nice to see an UD win smth for a change

With a little bit of luck we actually get to see an elf in the top4 with half of the starting players being elf :)

Three orcs left, 3 Elves, 1 Human and 1 Undead, not bad I guess?

Does IEST release replays afterwards?

Ye there are some out already...

moon out of the tournament, he couldn't even win a single map ....so much for the favourite of the group ...poor performance

hopefully sky can also beat lyn, no need for another orc final, sky vs check actually would be a nice final however i don't believe it will happen

Sky made love to Lyn...

Grubby again losing to Lyn omg this like the 5th time now. For a mu that's random and luck based thats a lot of coincidence. Lyn made pretty clear who the better player is. And btw Grubby losing to happy wtf shame on you Grubby! Orc had a flawless wining streak against Undead in offline tournaments from 2005 till ... now GG MAN.

Cant be happy as a Moonfan.

and again i feel sorry for happy, because the games against Grubby were just magic, he managed to win against the imbalanced race with the worst race, but eventually lost to nightelf, anyway this guy is top3 player in the world (Well I can admit that fly using fs against human makes me happy and Infi won wcg so)

Compared with Moon Check knows ho to play nightelf. (Remind, Fly100%, Happy, Lyn)
Any excuses relating to moon?

Seems that even an out of shape Grubby is too much for the most overrated player of all times. It's a shame. What's about imba Orc now Failplayer? I mean Check > Fly and Lyn. Sky > Grubby/Lyn(twice).

One can argue about Moon being sad and lost some of his motivation after the WCG and didnt play serious at all (Easy tellable by looking at the way he played in the games). So it has nothing to do with balance verities in this case precisely as you said. Still you have to admit that Lyn's victory over Happy in the HB was helped off a lot by the balance verity those races between. Happy impressed as hell anyway and beat Grubby in the LB. 2-1 but still, Damn impressive.

Not only that, be he placed 4th at wcg! He should be more often invited to tournaments, especially for the fact that he is an UD.

Moon did not play serious? Are you kidding? Weasel words..
Ignorant Moonfanboys.

Moon is saving strats for sc2 release.

Oh come on man...The biggest prize purse in the year so far,all top players of the world invited,no titles this year so far...What more does he need to get motivated?Face it:Moon just didn't play well at IEST.Period

So what you're trying to say is that he is off-shape? Well, it gotta have a reason, right? If it aint lack of motivation, then what can it possible be. Everyone except some retards (Cought* snulle/hawkii *Cought) knows that Moon is like the best player ever. So it has to be something

moon had a high fever during his match (on mym site) he went to the hospital after.

i think its sad how moon is so great, that nerds expect him to beat nubby while handicapped.

Uh, a tournament without an Orc in the top2, everything is fine now :D
Do you really expect me to give up ground when you cry about Human imbalance every time an Orc drops a map vs them, only to play an Orc mirror tournament final?

Not to mention 6 elf players out of 12 getting one player in the top6. Yeah, talk about elf being 2nd best race :D

Moon played bad, horrible even, but if you mention Check, look at HOW he had to win. He raped Fly on EI, too bad the rape had to last over 35 minutes to achieve a close victory. Orc remains the cheapest race with cheap freewins on so many maps with the right items and fountains. Sky and Infi beating the top elfs shows elf doesn't have an advantage on that level. Now please please bring up suho beating Infi so I can shut you up for good. Again.

Hey, he was the world's best player even with a broken hand. Of course he is expected to show a great performance even with a fever :D

If that is true with Moon, and he really had fever while playing against Nubby the haters who flame him should all get aids.

I mean how low can it get. To flame a person who wasnt able to show 100% even if its Moon, the best player if he is at his top shape.

How about others making progress?How about orc being imba?How about moon also being human?In every sport there comes a time when a legend simply cannot perform on his highest lvl in ALL of his games.

Moon plays godlike in most of his games,but he also has bad days much more frequently than before.You cannot expect him to play perfectly in all,and I cannot emphasize this enough,ALL of his games anymore.

He is the best wc3 player of all time,and even the most religious fanboys of any other player should be able to understand that,but don't expect him to win every single game like his used to.

Now, now. Most people, including schnulle and me, didn't even know about Moon's condition. What we knew is what we saw: Moon played bad.

Actually you said if moon didnt win wcg, and he clearly did not.

Proves only one thing: Brain > hands in RTS ;)
