[Haste!]

[RainbowStalin]

[QUOTE=Dirf;45456357]When do the games start?[/QUOTE]

Judging from these press conferences not for another 2 hours.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;45456356]oh please no[/QUOTE]

SPOILER ALERT:

[sp]Valve's going to be running post-match conferences too[/sp]

[suttles]

Seriously, having to listen to:

English question, Chinese interpretation of question, Chinese answer, English interpretation of Chinese answer

is so fucking painful

[Roov]

I think its the 20-30 second pauses between each question that makes it so awkward. The players clearly just wanna go and play their game instead of being there too.

[wickedplayer494]

NewBee's pre-match conference also happening now.

[Joseph Smith]

-snip, wrong thread-

[Severen]

That DK and EG question was surprising.

[Pequod]

I hope this isn't showed on espn

[wickedplayer494]

<10 minutes to battle.

[Chickens!]

This may very well be the best final yet.
