Probably just cheese or, as the ever-euphemistic Korean eSports media calls it, a "unique timing rush". Remember when Best proxy DT rushed some poor terran on Fortress in the proleague playoffs (don't remember who) and the media called it "strategic play?" | ||

Especially after i saw one of their "balance team" employee match history. And BoxeR just said he can't understand why they're buffing Zerg since they just won GSL. Progamers are pros at playing the game, not balancing it. | ||

Most korean progamers do WHATEVER it takes to win. They would never say "my race is op" because that could lead to a nerf which in turn would reduce their chance of winning . They became pro's because they have this mindset. Winning is ALL that matters. Flash and JD, two of the most succesful players have almost cheesed in all BOx's. And I love that mindset. At the very top playing anything pro is all about winning and doing whatever makes your chances of this the highest. This is also why I love watching "cheese" or strategic play. | ||

If they were reseeded then winning Open 1 gives a huge advantage over winning Open 2. That's extremely silly. SC2 has a lot of luck and divergence. This is why Elky quit WC3. It is a new game, which naturally has this. But SC2 is also designed to be this way. When you try to focus a lot more on decision making rather than mechanics you get people that accidentally make the right or wrong decision. You can't accidentally have good mechanics. And don't give me the 'if SC2 is so easy then why aren't you winning SC2' line. If SC2 is so easy, then why did Tester lose? Because the game is easier for everyone. That's the point. That's why inferior players win more often. And that's why it doesn't feel good stealing a game off a better player or winning vs a inferior player by dodging cheese/luck. And Tester won points already. Maybe not enough for S class, but no one knows how the point rating works. Surely he has A class already. So Elky quit WC3 because of the luck factor and then switched to Poker? Btw i dont understand why people are so surprised when a very good player loses to another (very) good player. No one here saw the games but most people posting here just auto assume cheese or imbalance or luck (due to low skill cap). Well maybe Tester had a bad day or his Opponent had a good day (or both). Maybe his Opp is even better than him. Its too hard to say what caused the loss especially if we didnt see the games. Either way SC2 certainly has some luck factor (its not chess) but so has every sport and its good it is so because it would be totaly boring otherwise (if the better player always wins, why bother watching the games? we would already know in advance who wins). This innate luck factor (that is bigger today than in a couple of months/years because the game is still new) is also the best argument for not having seeds in the first couple of tournaments. Because otherwise the guys who were lucky in GSL1 would profit from it. Allowing seeds after 3 open tournaments is better because you will have a bigger samplesize to determine the skilled players from. | ||

I'm pretty sad that nobody is going to give this guy any credit for taking out tester, instead they just blame it on cheese/luck. I'm with iNcontroL. The game is so new that nobody can ever be guaranteed to qualify, tester, cool, etc. included. Anyone can lose, and today, it was Testers day to lose. I don't use cheese pejoratively (about Fomos maybe, not about the player who defeated Tester). Also I am obviously uninformed, that's why "probably".

- 결승 상대가 ‘사기수’ 서기수였는데, 긴장되지 않았는지 ▲ 대진표를 보고 나서는 서기수 선수와 해서 완패만 당하지 말자고 마음을 먹었다. 1경기 때는 내가 주로 쓰던 안 당해본 사람들에게 잘 통하는 전략이 우연히 잘 통해 이길 수 있었다. - Your opponent in the final round was Tester. Were you nervous? ▲ After I saw the match table, I only wanted to avoid getting steamrolled (note: the nuance is that he thought he was going to lose). In the first match I used one of my favorite strategies that works well on people who have never seen it, and luckily it worked and I won. Sounds like an admission of cheese, not that it's a sin. | ||
