EPThe lost to the top 2 players at mlg. he lost to the two best tvz players in the WORLD. both series was 2-1
the fact that you find him a loser because of that means you must think he's REALLY fucking good.

he beat 1 good player in the open bracket due to bracket luck and that person spends more time coaching than playing. then he goes 0-10 in pool play which is, I believe, a new record in fail. has anyone else in mlg ever gotten a 0-10 in group stage? | ||

Sc2 strategies have an interesting history of being developed in Europe, perfected in Korea, and used on unsuspecting Americans. This will end up as my new quote in sig! *chuckle* I agree that Rain and ToD should have been included in the "winners" list. Disagree about HuK and Nani being "losers" - one can't win everything, and they didn't do bad at all, they did very well, even if not great. | ||

Great photos at the end! Also, owmygroin has got to be one of the best names I've ever seen haha. I think I'm going to become a fan of Infinity Seven just for that.  | ||

It may be because Terran were the focused race for Starcraft 2 but they just feel much more solid than any other race. This can most easily be shown in the mirror match-up. ZvZ or PvP is basically rock-paper-scissors, as they and their units and structures have so many weaknesses (and strengths to some degree) whilst in TvT, the T units and structures have little weaknesses and isn't as rock paper scissors-based, thus it makes the games generally won by the better player. As for the tournament, the major disappointment wasn't Korea doing too well but the United States doing too poorly. The United States, which has bought more copies of Starcraft 2 than any other country, brought 200 of the best players to the tournament, with every single of their top players represented on their home turf. Still, they only managed to get 2 players into the top19 and zero in the top 8. Even a tiny country such as Sweden did much better, despite just sending four players and hardly having the best represented there (such as Thorzain, Morrow or SaSe) and having purchased only 2% of the copies compared to the US. Why does the US do so extremely poorly on a tournament in their own home country despite having such a massive amount of SC2 players? Judging from players such as Idra and other top US players, it must be something in the US mentality that makes them unable to succeed in games. | ||

What I got from Game 1 is an hour long stalemate of absolutely nothing, that eventually lead up to two balls of death engaging each other. How anyone could enjoy this game was beyond me, as it demonstrates exactly what is wrong with TvT. | ||

Guess you didn't read the article or maybe you just didn't understand it, but Korea (or Sweden if it makes you feel better) have a HUGE advantage because they are small countries. Not sure where you got the idea that sales numbers reflect the intensity of pro-gaming communities. Nice try though. | ||
