has anyone else considered that idra doesn't know crank's na account? can people please shut up about this now because it's nothing new and it's a topic and discussion that has been talked to death already.

The conversations in this thread are just awesome and the best part is that every single time someone says idra is being a dick when BM'ing, some internet-hero comes along with the argument "Well IdrA can probably kick that guys ass."

This place is always a good place to go when you feel that you have way too much popcorn at home.

since crank only just acquired that account from someone else, maybe idra bm'd thinking it was the other guy, who has a record of being terrible? ^^

yeah, if greg new it was crank he wouldn't say anything, he has always respected MOST koreans. if they were just joking it is possible cause they were once living together. or greg did it and he knew it was crank but still, crank is now an enemy to slayers so it makes perfect sense.

Fields voiced similar concerns.

“I tried to tell one guy to move his damaged units to the back of the fight to preserve them longer, but he kept them on the front lines because they didn’t have a light duty chit. And then he said he couldn’t authorize a medevac because there was no clearly marked Landing Zone. There might be no hope for these guys. They’re just horrible.”

“In fact,” he added, “The only thing they really seemed to understand about the game is that Marines are super overpowered, and that winning only requires that you have more of them. They said it was a very realistic feature.”

Your WCS loss did not affect your ODT performance?

The shock was massive. The funny thing is, the build order that horror use to beat me was the exact same build order NesTea used against me just now. Thanks to that, I was able to flawlessly block NesTea's aggression. I guess the WCS loss was beneficial in some way.

apparently mkp got one-base bane-busted by horror zzz

Not that shocking, seems the only Zergs that realise how easy lategame ZvT is are Symbol and Losira. Every other Zerg still seems to feel intimidated and cheese people better than them.

LOL

Maybe your sense of how "easy" lategame ZvT is is incorrect, or you're saying that you're much smarter than Top GSL Zergs when it comes to this MU?

EDIT: Also your sense of "better" is probably off too. No wonder you think ZvT is super imbalanced - you automatically assume MVP and MKP are better than all Zerg players (and that goes down the Terran and Zerg ranks too), so when they lose, it must be imbalance.

I don't think MKP and MVP are better than every Zerg player? I know MarineKing is a lot better than Horror though, lol

Do you also attribute MKP's 0-2 loss to ByuL as imbalance? ByuL 6pooled game 1 and 7pooled game 2 winning both.

Point is, MKP's losing to early all-ins isn't due to the fact that Terran is underpowered vs Zerg... (whether it is or not is a different story, although I believe it isn't), it's due to the fact that MKP uses almost the exact same build every single game, and doesn't scout, in order to gain an economic advantage. You can be 100% certain that you are not going to get proxy rax'd by MKP, nor will you be facing reactor hellion build, limiting the options. And because MKP often doesn't scout, you can take a risk and simply bane bust, because he hasn't prepared for such a build.

Same thing that was done to Flash yesterday in the WCS qualifiers, if you're not able to mix it up people will take advantage of it.

It's not like Horror beat MKP in a macro game (by the way, upsets do happen) - Horror used a build that was much more likely to succeed against MKP than against the average Terran player.

EDIT: Your logic would also suggest TvZ is imbalanced in T's favour since a guy who just started playing (Reality) beat Symbol. Not saying that's true (it isn't), but that's your "sound" logic.

In your quest to claim that ZvT early game isn't imbalanced, you forgot to ask yourself why MKP often goes for cc-first builds.

hes done stupid risky shit since the beta
