For the sake of comparison here is  Leta vs.  Pure from the qualifiers to EVER OSL 2009: uh bogus' games were incredibly well-prepared and his micro was fantastic, sorry so many people hate classic bw because i consider it a treat to watch a player have the confidence and skill to successfully execute a ballsy boxer-style build TWICE to the point where I have no idea what hero, who micro'd very well, could have done to stop it after the PL finals with amazing macro games and harass I am delighted to have a player show me the other side of the coin, a raw cowboy aggression and total commitment to winning that says "fuck the standards, these guys know I am better and are going to try to eke out an early advantage and I am going to shoot fish in a barrel" not only that, but in an OSL filled with zerg players, Bogus (and, to a lesser degree, Stork) are going to be treated with extreme caution and fear for the rest of the tournament by swarm players. Bogus knows that this might be his last chance to take a Starleague title and that he has the skills to do it (Bogus has slumped a bit but there is no doubt the skill is there - most of his losses in the past year have been excellent games and he might be the unluckiest player in the game). Now people have to respect his early-game aggression and can't cut corners against him, which lets him more comfortably play to his midgame strengths. I love the implications of these games and what they mean for the next few rounds, and would love to see Bogus go far in part due to excellent mind games that he cracked out during games with lesser zerg opponents whom he could confidently overwhelm given the right preparation. | ||

I just wanted to see if the games were good today and I'll watch the vods when I have time, then what I saw was "Speedlots" and "Manlots" in the losers' match and final match recommendation polls respectively, so that means that the ONLY protoss lost game 2 and then won twice -__________- I guess I learned a lesson today that even the polls contain spoilers  | ||

Don't put spoilers there. Yeah exactly my thoughts. and exactly how should "SPEEDLOTS" or "MANLOTS" options tell if it's a good game or not. | ||

Also the games were terrible and I was bored with the poll options, this isn't the first time I've seen polls done this way and the people LR'ing seemed supportive of this. And this is my first time doing a LR thread, a whole 3 minutes before the matches started airing because nobody else wanted to make one as I said in my post 2 pages back. But I guess nobody reads and just wants to complain.. Yes toadily is already doing a great service for you guys and If you feel like complaining about it than why don't you make the LR instead and than play it out the way you want . | ||
