The Best Quotes from MLG Raleigh 2011

Posted on August 29, 2011

Major League Gaming - Raleigh, 2011 was a massive success for e-sports and for the competitors involved; we were there for the entire weekend (a cumulative 40-odd hours), and heard all of the best StarCraft 2 quotes from the event. Enjoy the hilarious, frighteningly serious, and ambiguous statements from pro players below! If Bomber's trolling match wasn't enough, we've compiled a video montage of the weekend's progression.

When Day[9] briefly interviewed IdrA after his upsetting series of matches, IdrA answered his final question with his stone-cold killer face on:

Day[9]: Do you have any closing comments?

IdrA: Yeah. I'd like to thank the people that like me. [death-gaze]

As seen in our video, Day[9] couldn't take the stress of one of the final battles of the night:

Day[9]: [...] is way in the lead, and - ungh... god! I - can't - handle - this! [...] So much stress!

When JP interviewed Bomber on stage prior to the grand final contestants battling it out:

JP: Out of the remaining players -- DRG, Nada, and of course Coca: who are you really wanting to play in the Grand Finals?

STBomber: It doesn't matter. I can beat them all.

On Saturday, when LiquidTyler played vs. LiquidHaypro and seemingly threw the game. Tyler went voids and phoenixes against anti-air, which continually failed, but he kept trying it:

Casters: Oooookay, it looks like he's going to just keep making voids. He said, 'you know what, this thing is workin' out pretty well.'

When IdrA ragequit his second game against Noblesse when he still had a chance:

Day[9]: Well... that's definitely IdrA on stage. No imposter there.

When Bomber dropped five scans on the same location:

Tasteless: Whoa! Why is he scanning so much? Maybe Bomber thinks DonRaeGu has epilepsy and he’s trying to give him a seizure!

When Bomber made MULEs come down like rain in the middle of a battle with broodlords:

Tastosis: I dunno, man, maybe he saw those Broodlords and decided, ‘hey, you know, MULEs come from the sky, maybe if I aim this just right I can hit a Broodlord on the head.’”

Finally, during our interview with Spanishiwa:

GN Francisco: If you were ice cream, which flavor would it be?

Spanishiwa: Probably mint chocolate chip.

GN Steve: Do you micro your ice cream?

Spanishiwa: Oh yeah.

Stay tuned for more awesome MLG coverage as we continue to post it up! And more quotes as we recall them!
