The 6th edition of the ESWC. In order to attend to the final in California, all champions will have to qualify through ESWC national selections from January to June 2008.
so no one played his usual game. better players can't handle the monitors. k1llsen and rapha are bad players so they can handle it better?!
how and why do you hate the guy so much? not his fault that fox was too raged to play his usual game.
you see, if you go to a big competition where the circumstances don't fit you, it's your turn to deal with it, because the "authority" is not able to make it as easy as possible for everyone.
Cypher dealt with it just like Jibo, rapha, k1ller and all the other guys who had an impact on this.
also this was way more exciting than the masters tbh.
why couldn't you just enjoy the tournament? it's not like the monitors lowered the spectating experience?!
sry for LONG ASS post.

i did enjoy the tournament. never said i didn't. i just think people shouldn't go thinking this is where the skill level actually is at atm, cause sure, these players are the top players, on 89ms screen delay.
Care to elaborate why? Because you keep saying that “they shouldn’t” as if it’s a fact. Like cooller said, chance is around top8 since ~5 years, so i don't get why he shouldn't be there.
The demos show that relying on your aim isn't exactly working.
Players have to rely on tactics instead... Killers control on ztn and hub is sweet to watch!
I don't really know if I prefer the "old style" quake 1v1 over the new aimbased style... However watching ppl with great control and timing is always nice, regardless of supershaft or not.
Jibo is really good at staying away from his opponents when he's not in control, I can understand why some ppl find it boring. Do remember that it's a tournament, and I doubt that he's playing "for the fans".
