Testie 4-1 Bgh
Testie 4-3 Low maps.
I lost in 1 ridiculous way. The other was suspect, the last was just me camping and getting crushed for it.

But, instead of sleeping i'm expecting you all to keep me constantly in a game so I don't pass out on op tl-west. I hate sleeping earlier than atleast 10 because then i wake up in the middle of the night. And that's never a cool thing. So everyone plays all night in op tl-west.
>.<

Next time I play a match for tl.net, rather than playing to win i'll do my best to make the games more entertaining. aka super aggressive / no camping style etc. >.<

btw, you do not get to see kural showcase his real skill in this showmatch because he's a team player and I took advantage of that by simply early expanding / cannoning to gain an econ advantage & run over. If I had played straight up unit vs unit in a micro battle it's much more difficult to win vs him on BGH than how I played. Basically i'm saying he's more skilled than this showmatch shows.

I think babotoss and kural will upload them to bgh site. I think that's where they should go anyway.
So go to sleep, and see them another day. ;p

I wouldn't call 4-3 low maps "clear domination"

Before you edited, you believed that Testie lost 1-4 on BGH.

After the 4-1 rout on BGH I didnt even expect the low money games to be close. 4-3? Thats an experience of 1,000,000 games (ok, I pulled this number out of my ass!) vs 200-400 games. Could kOOlam have been a player of savioresque skill had he devoted his starcraft career to low money games?

Pretty incredible result if you ask me.

Someone was sleepy. Kural has better mechanics than most of the top foreigners and his raw skill is also a factor. There is a reason why he is so dominant on BGH.

When I said "get some sleep bro" I didn't mean it to disrespect koolam who is a very talented player. It's just... koolam openly admits to only playing 400 or so low-money games, is used to team-playing, and concentrates mostly on BGH, but then nearly beats Testie in bo7 1v1 low-money? That's insane! The low money maps were played after the BGH ones, right? And Testie openly admitted to having little or no sleep (less than 2 hours if any). I could only think that Testie was getting exhausted from lack of sleep and then playing many hours of starcraft.

I've watched many testie matches within this community and he simply dominates - and against players who concentrate on 1v1 low-money.

Anyhow, I very much look forward to watching these replays.

i think even if testie is damn tired playing 4-3 vs him is till impressive either way, and i think this koolam still doesnt get enough respect for his skills... altho maybe replays will show me wrong i doubt it...

the funniest part is that none of us could take three games off of testie in a bo7

i mean, you could probably count the number of non-koreans who can do that on one hand =P
