The implied advantage here stems not from luck, but from skill if this map played such a decisive role. Style. Even mirrors have style. Certain maps bring out the best in certain players. Arkanoid, as we all know, is a very slow map. There are buildings in the way, lots of terrain that is easily and passively defended, many easy siege and stay spots, and despite that, Casy managed to exploit the terrain to his style, and was that cross wall siege a cool arkanoid first or what? Even after 2 seasons, I'm glad the semis showed me a new trick on Arkanoid, even though the map sucks. The map had more to offer a player like Nada than Casy. | ||

The guy who says Casy was better, NaDa was lucky, Casy deserved to win. Casy understand TvT better than Nada, THe guy who said Nadas strategic skills are bad compared to casys, the guy who basicaly cant accept NaDa > Casy in this series and almost pretends as if Casy won the series says this sentence. This is pure sarcasm i guess.. ^^ Orome occasionally makes some bad statements. It's all a part of being young and 17, or something like that. But I think we can all admit that most of us are hypocrites and say things out of frustration or fanaticism. | ||

It's clay, not sand; moreover, Federer and Nadal's styles are so different that it is as if they are playing different Starcraft races. Casy and NaDa's styles differ in very small aspects; overall, they still build tanks and goliaths and vultures. Federer and Nadal is like the difference between GoRush and Boxer - two completely different players that the map/surface affects in two different ways. The analogy might hold if you asked what would it be like if Nadal played Moya on clay or grass; but in that situation, it is still much more the player than the surface. | ||

-_-;; Bad analogy. I try to understand my point, but I think you do not understand the impact maps have on stylistic players, especially such a strong defensive map like Arkanoid, obviously, favors a more defensive player. | ||

NaDa won. Losers have no words to say. The only things that are possible are past statistics or excuses or placing the blame on "luck". The winner only has to state: "I have won. That is final." GG NaDa | ||

Nada played better TvT than Casy overall? We cant say that today. But what matters is to win when it is important. THAT is great champions's trademark. Nada sure is a great champion and i hope Casy will too. | ||

And Boxer and GoRush both build workers. They're called the same thing but are in reality completely different. Federer slices and wants his balls to skid on the slippery grass; Nadal relies on topspin and wants his balls to bite into the tough clay and pop up. Just as there are 3 styles of Starcraft play (T, P, Z) and substyles within each (Tornado Terran, Sauron Zerg), there are 3 main styles of tennis play (baseline, allaround, and serve/volley) and substyles within each (slice serve/volley style, big serve baseline). Maps and surfaces affect the main styles to a huge degree; but substyles much less so. | ||

You might notice I'm not alone with my opinion, and that the people who know what they're talking about, Day and Steve, agree with me. | ||

And honestly, you think the difference between casy and nada is comparable to the difference between federer and nadal? | ||

Edit: I'm not blaming Arkanoid twice for Casy's loss btw. | ||

This was a great series, tvt gods battling it out. Nada maybe showed a tad more experience or sense for winning. Both would have been worthy opponents for savior. | ||

Moreover, only NaDa's game 5 victory is directly attributable to the map. Casy went 2-2 otherwise, so it's hard to argue that adjusting for Arkanoid results in Casy playing better TvT than NaDa. | ||
