 It simply means that your opponent was close in skill level. These two rapes clearly show that Leta was the far supeiror player | ||

Yes, this series changes things. The outcome is not predetermined and before this series Sea's placement was correct. He made many, many mistakes in those two games that he really should not be making. | ||

That does seem to be how he wins - defense and heavy macro. Then he inches forward. I'd like to see how he does against Bisu, who is like playing on e8 different parts of the map at once. | ||

He secured a small, early advantage and nursed it patiently to the end. The last time I played an expert at chess was fairly similar - I just sort of felt my position falling apart and couldn't do anything whatsoever. It's incredibly demoralizing and Sea just quietly gg'ing probably is representative of how he was feeling. | ||

That game was basically the same as the Jaedong game, except sea made one or two more mistakes and ended up losing from an advantage. Sea managed to hold and on win vs Jaedong - it was an impressive game! However, having a very strong TvZ shouldn't be all you need to get #10 on PR. Leta's achievements across the past month and bit (like his 14-4 record in proleauge) far outweigh Sea's one awesome game. you are wrong you are someone who doesn't understand how high above the current standard of TvZ his game against Jaedong was, and how masterful his game against Iris was Sea's spot on December's rank is completely justified, Leta certainly hasn't shown himself capable of games at that level.

Of cus proleague carries a lil more weight than practice games but when it comes down to ranking individual players, nothing factors in more than individual league performance imo... And in that department, Sea certainly never was and is not top 10 material. | ||

An argument can be made that he forced sea to play bad, ie force terrible break attempts | ||

Going for a big timing push right before Leta's 4th kicked in? | ||

In the second game, Sea had a nice BO advantage over Leta with his faster expansion. He also got 2 more factories up earlier. Still, Leta controlled and positions his tanks very well to snipe a lot of Sea's units. Slowly, Sea lost a bunch of men and was being pushed back until he realized there's no way he can win. Intelligent, impressive play by Leta. | ||
