I think the organizers were a little self-important to completely ignore the players that kept Broodwar alive during SC2. I truly believe Bonyth has the highest chance of beating Larva in a series. If Draco could take one game, Bonyth could 2-1 | ||

Look what happened to Legend, the player who knocked Draco out of the tournament. | ||

The 2 stargate sair game was looking great until a few bad decisions caused him to lose all his templar later on in the game. I think Bonyth is currently better than Draco, but I don't think Bonyth's aggressive style would do too well against Larva. | ||

Also my impression that pro zergs are the hardest for nonkoreans to beat because zerg is the most cheese-proof race. | ||

I think Bonyth is currently better than Draco, but I don't think Bonyth's aggressive style would do too well against Larva. The problem is, those few bad decisions will happen every game and they will happen at a higher frequency than Larva. As Liquid'Drone said above, Draco has the best approach which is why he's been winning. If Draco tried to play straight up against FBH and Larva, there's a good chance he would be 0-5... Instead he's like 3-5, with 3 wins all being all-in cheeses. The longer the game goes, the higher chance he will make more mistakes than his opponent (You also have to consider the surprise factor, Larva thought he could play around in game 1 vs Draco and he got cheesed and destroyed. It didn't happen a second time). Foreigner Protosses who prepare 1 game cheeses will probably have more success than the other races to be honest. It's very hard to cheese with Zerg against a superior opponent, since ZvP is really the only match up you can and it's relatively easy for a player of that caliber to keep their probe alive for scouting. I don't think it's possible for any of the foreigner Terrans to even put up a fight to be honest. | ||

I think what happened here was: lava was still taking the game lightly in the beginning, even despite being down 1-0 and decided to play very serious after the opening went very bad for him with the two Stargate opening. | ||

That's definitely possible. I'd have to re-watch the games to try to figure that one out. | ||

Considering all foreigners, I believe Bonyth is definitively in the top 3, or even reduce it to top 5 for the sake of argument. Given this, and the fact that there are few foreigners who have ever beaten, hell, even played against pro players, then this is a completely valid opinion. Bonyth actually has beaten very good players. It doesn't make me delusional lol. Now, on the flipside, Larva is definitely one of the best players currently. I believe at that high level, there is a sliver of chance that Bonyth could win in a BO3, with a greater chance of success than all other foreigners. | ||

To clarify, I was not implying the logic of: Draco 1-2 Larva, and Bonyth > Draco, therefore Bonyth would 2-1 Larva.

I mean, Larva has the best ZvP in the world and Bonyth was eliminated from the last major tour he participated in, going 0-4 in PvZ or something like that. | ||
