TLO= creative player but White_Ra is my hero(always has been and always will be) Yeah; I'm also more of a fan of solid mechanical play that can also be spiced up with some nice creative stuff and White_Ra really figured out some pretty solid builds that don't die to cheese and give you a great opportunity to experiment with different follow-up's. It's just really amazing to see how well he does when he got his solid Builds figured out. But as said before: I think creative players are not bound to be bad at mechanics and just good with cheeses and TLO seems to be one of the players that, at least in this early stage of the game, are on top with mechanics and creative play, but White_Ra is just someone that can handle all sorts of situations. He's creative in a defensive way, like Day[9] said about how winning isn't everything, it's also important to not loose. This kind of creativity is maybe not so amazing to watch as the Games of TLO, but it's pretty impressive as well. | ||

Ballsy (if dangerous, irrational, etc.) decisions Like Nony said in the other thread: Clearly he's not the best overall player and he made a few bad calls, but he's the most fun to watch for many of us. Why are you asking us to justify anything beyond that? This concept should be painfully obvious, especially during March Madness. I don't think anyone in this thread is saying anything else. People started a thread saying they liked this new player the had found. They liked watching him play and they liked his style. Then someone came along and started flaming him and flaming Nazgul (The random TL mod who unlike Incontrol deserves no respect since he has no Starcraft merits.) | ||

This kind of creativity is maybe not so amazing to watch as the Games of TLO, but it's pretty impressive as well. exactly! I'm pretty creative myself but I think that TLO just played SCI and then when he got SCII beta he just experimented as much as possible with everything he could(I would do the same) and went random so he could do it every single game and his strategies would be more effective. White_Ra is great mechanically and knows how to make a great BO and understands a lot of SCII beta. I'm sure he also knows most of the same stuff TLO knows and because of that he was able to counter the strategies TLO used. He also had to look at every cheese and unusual strategy he could think of that could counter his BOs, because of this he has both great game sense and great mechanics. | ||

I respect InControl because he has some serious accomplishments under his belt in the RTS world. The rest of you can shut the hell up because you don't know what you're talking about at all. You and your "5 years of competitive RTS experience" can take a hike. | ||

It's just fun and if you think TLO doesn't deserve this hype, then don't buy into it, but don't drag everyone else down... | ||

 It's just a way it is. No one said anything against WhiteRa, he dominated through whole tournament and won it. Everyone will say he was the best, but that doesn't mean that some other player didn't play some great games. Not everyone has to cheer for a winner, especially if someone makes few really fun games + he isn't well known. imho tlo completely deserves his fame, as does WhiteRa, it's just we all know that WhiteRa ownz, we don't have to repeat it every time (: | ||
