I'm quite upset that he lost, but there are still other opportunities this year. The Red Bull tournament has a huge prize pool and there's Blizzcon of course.

Hooray!!! Bomber is streaming! If his result in ro32 means more streaming, more games in GSTL and intensive preparation for RedBull BG and Blizzcon, I'm okay with that!

Wintex <3 even if you don't like to make fun of the funny law x)

(actually I like to be prepared to be deceived, like that if it's not deceiving, I'll be so happy, pessimistic :D hehe I still think there might be a possibility that Bomber drops to Code B then if not I'll be so happy x))

Wintex why didn't you talked about :

He is so handsome,
He is so charismatic,
He is so funny,

the most sc2 entertaining player

then... he lacks of FBH ceremony pulls hehe

Bomber, i think you need change your tvp style a litte bit. I hate people saying :" Bomber can only do this scv-pull all-in job in tvp", but it's seems so true now... As a big fan of yours since 2011, i'm so worry about it.

Now it seems much easier for protoss players to handle this scv-pull all in, cuz every one of them knows what you gonna do and when you gonna do in tvp.

I know it's pretty hard for terran, against protoss in later game, but Taeja already showed us something good.

Best wish for you

After the eight hours of watching the stream I guess this is the right time to express my true love and, as someone else could say, fanboyism towards Startale_Bomber.

Some kind of disclaimer. + Show Spoiler +

All following thoughts are just my humble opinion, you may or may not agree with following. My place is in the wood league, if not in "special needs" league, but I have some understanding of the game. My reasoning could be incoherent. Also I will use some curse words just because.

"Preparation"
There is a lot of diversity in a pro-gaming scene. Some pros are considered as aggressive players (like MC), some as defensive ones (like Rain). The most appropriate definition of Bomber's style I could come up with is "entertaining as fuck". Not only because of medibombs and nuking himself, but because of his preparation. I can only imagine the time he spends on studying his opponents and coming up with a specific strategies for a specific map/opponent. I would say his success at WCS Season 2 was not determined by luck, mood or general skills/macro/APM. It was PREPARATION. My opinion could be bias but Bomber (also his coach and everyone on ST who helps him) is by far the best at it. + Show Spoiler +

Maru is the 2nd with 4-0 and 4-2 in OSL

As he stated in one interview "one of the most important points is to predict the opponents build". I believe he does that. Of course, one could argue that soO all-ined him and knocked him out, but a bit later about that. I'm sure it is the intelligence and deep understanding of the game which makes Bomber the player he is. Bomber claims his TvZ is weak, Innovation's TvZ is considered as unbeatable (all hail DRG, lol). I say combination of mines and tanks is by far more intelligent than a constant stream of MMMM. In conclusion I would say that future belongs to players like Bomber who shifts the start/meta/end game rather than mechanical robots.

"The LAW"
I call bullshit!!! There is no such thing. I am always sad when Bomber loses, but he never disappoints me. I remember when he got knocked out the Ro32 every hater was like "the law is here!!!" You know what?! Go fuck yourself. Period. Although it is hard for me to admit, he got outplayed, yes. It is the ugly truth I have to face. But it happened because of his victory. All his opponents had the chance to study his play at season finale, to make the adjustments to the BOs (remember how everyone was cheesing Innovation). I just hope he will not make this mistake again.

Opinion on the streaming.
To be honest I've lost passion. {insert the Tasteless joke here}. I don't watch WCS, ATC, etc. It is too predictable, monotonous and unvaried (for example, MMMM vs LingBaneMuta). Bomber is the only person who makes me wanna watch tournaments and streams. But I have a fear: Bomber may start streaming too often. His stream is like a very good, unique and expensive wine - it's nice to have it once a month; streaming too often will lead to a hangover.

Conclusion.
No matter what, I belive in you, Bomber. With all your strengths and weaknesses you will prevail. Blizzcon and RBBG shall be yours {do I even grammar?}. I will always jump around my room like a mad monkey every time you win. I will always drink alone at the bar every time you lose. You will always take a special place in my heart! I even have a dream about how my small business in Russia (the business idea is really nice) becomes successful and I start sponsoring you and your team. With such fans as me, Wintex, GumBa, etc. you will have a great future!!! Peace!!! I'm out!!!
