Should have saved the finger wagging thing until you knock the guy out instead of winning just game 1.

Q. Any other comments?

A. The moment NEXGenius won his Ro16 match, every protoss on bnet tried to help me out. He seems to have many anti fans among protosses. I practiced lots with sSKS and he promised that he'd treat me if I won, so I'm very grateful. He also practiced according to my schedule. Also special thanks to all the protosses in my team. Thanks to oGsInCa for making me laugh today. Also thanks to my girlfriend. Lastly, thanks to CellaWeRRa for the 'holy check'.


Lol. Can somebody confirm whether Nexgenius is the Korean Idra?

It might be that the other Korean Protosses were hoping that NexGenius would lose so that Blizzard would buff Toss (Just like Zergs in GSL1 hoped that Fruitdealer would lose so that Blizzard would realize how bad Zerg was), rather than a hatred of the player, especially since NexGenius stated that he would show everybody that Protoss was the strongest race.

I saw my teammate Shin Jung Min (who is this? apparently Qoo)Max, a zerg player according to wiki) do this thor all in during practice. If the opponent spends gas on more than 2 sentries then he cannot win against this. I


And you need more than 2 sentries to hold off against a bio push...sh*t like this is why Protoss will never make it to a GSL final

i guess SKS and Inca don't want Genius to be the top protoss!



As much as I LOOOOVEZ Tester, I would dare to say that Nexgenius has surpassed both Tester and Inca, but hey. Not seeing tester for 1month, he probably has some sick tricks up his sleeve for GSL3, if he manages to qualify this time :/

This is the best interview I've ever seen from a gamer. I've loved Rainbow since I was a kid and he's always been right up there with BoxeR at the top of my list of favourites. So happy to see him succeeding two seasons in a row and I really hope he destroys FoxeR in the semi-final. His cheeky hand-wave is just awesome, I love the amount of personality players like Zenio and Rainbow are introducing to a typically bland arena.

Q. In the 4th set, you even showed off some MnM dance.
A. NEXGenius called me a 'weak terran' in his interview. He said he practiced with decent terrans, but I don't think they were decent at all. I think he tried to fake me out. I also waved my hand after as a 'goodbye' :D.



Oh snap. I think a majority of viewers already counted out HopeTorture. Maybe because of last season's finals or maybe just because so many other strong Terrans are in the tourny. I'm glad he made it and am looking forward to the semi finals match.

I would have thought that top protoss would stick together, I guess not.

I told it before the match, if after that interview where he said he practiced against better Terrans and that protoss is the strongest and his biggest obstacle was Inca and now he will win it, that if he doesn't, he will look like a complete ass. He seems one of the more BM koreans, and I don't care if people call it confidence. His interview, that finger "no" gesture...

I am glad he lost, quite frankly. What an arrogant ass, didn't achieve nearly as much as ITR, but likes to talk. I root for protoss, but fuck it, well done ITR!

No, Tester plays so clean, so solid. NexGenius can look sloppy. He is a bit like oGsMC, can go for gimmicky "creative" stuff and become sloppy.

I have more faith in Sangho and Tester, among current crop. But frankly, the race being UP doesn't help.

In short, for me, Tester is still the best protoss out there.

What an interesting interview, ITR certainly has alot to say! I'm very interested regarding the attitude of other Korean pros towards NexGenius. Must be pretty bad because:
The moment NEXGenius won his Ro16 match, every protoss on bnet tried to help me out. He seems to have many anti fans among protosses. I practiced lots with sSKS and he promised that he'd treat me if I won, so I'm very grateful
.
Anyone have the NEXGenius interview where he calls ITR a "weak Terran"?

Also, I think ITR is a vastly underrated player. You don't get to the finals and semis 2 years in a row if you're not a solid player.

Wow. No wonder Toss isn't getting any representation. They're sabotaging their only competitor left! Lol.

NexGenius must have really pissed off some people.

I'm glad ITR made it. He deserves a chance at redemption after last GSL's subpar ending.

I love the personality and 'ceremonies' and crap when it falls into 'trash talk' and not just being an asshole.

Excited to see the rest of these games!

When hanging out with Cella at the GSL 1 finals, he told me that he and HopeTorture are very good friends that go way back, so I think it just stems from Cella giving him tons of support.

GG GL HopeTorture. I am quite happy that genius lost badly, and looking really pathetic after that finger wag.
