Shine was very happy this was the case! You'd like to think it has more to do with Z denying scouting than P being lazy, but unfortunately its hard to tell. They have all the apm in the world to try and sneak in probes at any opportunity considering the real threat of dying no matter how good you are | ||

Even the best Protoss players most of the time don't manage to do this and the reason is simple: it's usually not possible against best Zergs because they see everything with speedlings. Hydra busts are w/o a doubt one of the more stupid things in BW. | ||

I feel like Snow is more a proleague type player than individual competition. He's super amazing in PvP and PvT(I really can't win his PvT. Maybe 1/10 or 15). I hope Snow can overcome his PvZ one day and do well for the future tournaments. | ||

This is what I was scared about when I saw his group. No doubt his pvt is incredible especially with the reaver/carrier build he loves so much, and its a shame we didnt get to see it. | ||

There's this quote about him from Coach Cho that's he'll never be able to shake off about him being the greatest talent he's discovered since Xellos. The Dreamleagues that prompted that judgement were the old ones where 85% of the player pools were terrans, half of them using the ID Mong and Snow was just feeding on them. Coach Cho and CJ were always proleague focused too, Movie was effectively a HBR bot and SKyHigh has more TvTs in the KEspA era than the other two matchups combined. It's also very possible that Snow's development as a player was cut midway by the Hite merger and by the SC2 proleague bullshit. But you don't make your PvT debut shitting on Flash if you don't have something in the tank. | ||

Same thing yesterday, would have been cool to see ample's ghosts against actual fast carriers, and rains corsairs vs standard terran play. | ||

NEver forget when hiya eliminated him from the OSL in groups lol. Anything can happen with hiya and mini in the group. Mini has always been a thorn in the side of top players | ||

He's not as bad as people say he is, but he's definitely not top top shape right now. Even I (A huge jaedong fan) would give the advantage to almost the other player if their a top top player like Last/Flash/Bisu/Stork/Larva/Mong/etc. In his group I feel like he should advance, but nothings ever 100% and last time I saw mini and jaedong play I want to say mini beat him a lot (I may be wrong, so don't take what I said as fact). | ||

Infact, with all of the really famous pros back then (even Really) in proleague, all of them played some incredible TvTs together. Even Upmagic had amazing TvT to watch. | ||

His strategical prowess was off the charts, but his actual fundamentals compared to the other top terran players of his time was severely lacking. Certainly one of the most interesting characters the game has had, in my opinion. He does boast a superior head-to-head record versus Flash, by a score of three to one. The only terran in history that can claim that trivia. | ||
