Missed the group matches today, but that's cause we had "SUN" for once :P so had to enjoy that

Depends who you want to listen to casting, Tastosis aren't on site at the event, but are casting from GOM studios I think.

Other casters at the event are Day9 and Apollo

Below is the link to the group/results and brackets for the last 8

Too many Koreans... I just simply don't enjoy following them as much. There isn't as much of a "storyline" with them as its been described

MMmmm, I can see your point with regards to storylines and how it makes it more interesting...but I still really enjoy watching the Koreans, maybe because I follow GSL more than NASL or any others.

Innovation has been up and coming, lost to soulkey, soulkey get's knocked out by his teammate SOS in the semis, and then SOS has to go up against Innovation.

It was also Innovation (best SC2 HOTS) vs MVP (best SC2 WOL) in the other semis.

Both Semis were very good, unfortunately the final was a bit of a let down

I don't really like the whole manner Nexus/Command center thing going on.

Is it my imagination or are the Koreans worse for BM?

Most Koreans do it for the humour aspect.....that's the difference. They aren't being disrespectful just waving at their fans. The westerners who do it usually do it as a f*ck you.

That's my take on it anyway.

terrans were doing it for ages with manor mules and protoss just felt left out for ages until we came up with manor nexus

Been watching some WCS game this weekend when I've had a chance. Very good production from ESL if you ask me!

I lost interest when Naniwa got knocked out. I just can't get behind the Koreans in the same way

I'm kind of in the same boat, it was really exciting with even just 1 foreigner left, but when they were all gone its just kind of disappointing not to mention the best games were in the semi finals, the last few games were a bit of a let down. Like Bomber v Scarlett game 4, was amazing to watch
